Soreness = Muscle Growth ?
« on: January 31, 2007, 01:50:15 PM »
I played Basketball last night then did four super sets of Bench press w/ Flys... then just did cable crossovers (3 sets) ....I was planning to do chest on Thursday (today is back) because I didn't consider that a chest workout but today my chest is sore as hell.  So the question is , Does soreness equal a good workout ? I remember times when I would do alot of weight, heavy volume and not be sore.

What the deallio ?

I've got a Flex article by Chris Aceto and he says "Muscle soreness doesn't mean muscle growth, it means you've got protein post mortem" WTF ::). Don't ask me what that means.

I think I have read a few studies that mentioned DOMS is not an indicator of muscle growth.  Wasn't this topic brought up recently?  There would be a lot of good information about this topic in that thread

Not to get too involved yet again i believe that soreness in the context of conventional weight training does make a difference. Others don't believe it does.

In the absence of proof either way i think the answer is obvious: cover all bases with a conservative approach that covers all bases by assuming it probably does.
