It’s a myth, urban gym legend. DOMs from kegels? Yeah, super common.

Yes… front or rear on occasion.
Yes many times
The first time I tried incline laterals was the only time I’ve ever had side delt DOMS. Rear and front delt DOMS have happened when I’ve taken long (3-4 weeks) breaks from working out and go back for a heavy upper day. Besides that, never on a regular basis.
A couple of times.
I had DOMS for three days after doing Paul Carter’s 100-rep set of front raises for the first few times.
Also I was doing lateral raises to failure followed by partials to complete failure for a while and sometimes I would get DOMS the day after.
So I have had DOMS in my front and middle delts, but I’m not sure I’ve ever had it in my rear delts.
Never.
Once, and not from something I expected. Did a 100Rep Kettlebell swing Challenge when I was visiting Neversate Gym with a couple other guys. Had a 106lb kettlebell, 6 guys. Everyone stood in a line, first man did as many reps as he could, then the next guy hoped in while the first dude got in the back of the line, race to 100 reps. Some people finished in 2 sets, others (me) took significantly more, but the next day my traps, delts, and glutes were hurting like never before.
Yes. Every week.
Sorry to those of you who are missing out.
Don’t think I’ve ever had DOMS in my delts, mine are stupid big compared to my chest though so they probably handle the beatings well.
I think I found the secret to strongman training. Had 4 beers, 1/4th of a pizza and 24 taquitos last night. Today was probably my best session ever with the log and carry medley.

Yep, light weight, high rep laterals or lots of heavy pressing will give me doms.
I ran last week after a shoulder work out and was miserable. Swinging my arms felt like thousands of small ROM front raises. I had to stop after 3 miles because my shoulders were on fire.
I ate a bunch of veggies today. A bunch. I had a bag with four “servings” this afternoon. I rarely eat veggies so this is different for my body. I had more for dinner.
My wife says broccoli is nature’s broom. Well, apparently my body has about five gallons of methane gas stuck in it and it’s being sporadically forced out. We’re living in a fog.

I used to think work was all that I enjoyed. I’ve never liked vacations. Come to find out I’ve been vacationing wrong.

That’s some funny stuff!
I agree with your wife.
You never do anything half-assed (bodypart intended), do you? Broccoli gives me gas also when I have too much of it, and I eat it all the time. I think you need to give your digestive system a weeee bit o’ time before going full broccoli lol.
Fun fact -when researching organic vs. not organic, broccoli was near the top of not organic is fine, because pests have no interest in eating the stuff!!!

Nope! I thought I’d get a day or two of veggie nutrients in a two hour window.

I feel that. Growing up chubby with an insatiable appetite means I’ve either been hungry, on forced maintenance calories, or very hungry on a deficit for almost every day the last 12 years.
It gets easier but without deliberate effort I’d be fat within a month.

I love asparagus but I honestly almost knock myself out when I go to pee at night and the stench comes.

I have a dirty little secret that I have never told my son. So I have 10 45 lbs plates from from 5 different brands. Each plate is over 45 from 1.5 to 2.5 . All my son knows is that when he loads the bar is to make sure he loads matching brands together but not on the same side. So he is left scratching his head and wondering why the weight on the bar feels heavier than at school .
