When do you guys get sore? I get sore on the next day after training or I don’t get sore, but my training partner is never sore on the next day and usually gets hit about 2 days later. No matter what I read in different articles, delayed onset muscle soreness is pretty variable from person to person.
I usually get sore on the next day also. Sometimes if I workout around 12:00 P.M i will start getting sore that night.I don’t know what this means. My legs and chest get sore pretty easy while my back,arms,shoulders,and calves barely ever get sore. I don’t know what this means either. I would say your friend has poor recovery but just an opinion. Has he been working out for a while or just started?
It seems odd to me, that most of the people I know get sore the next morning/afternoon when they workout the previous evening. Most texts and journal articles say that delayed onset muscle soreness peaks 24-48 hours after the source of injury, but this has not been my experience.
My soreness is directly related to how hard I push myself during my workouts. A really good workout, I can start feeling sore within hours afterward and increases in soreness by the next day. I think the lack of mobility while asleep is a big factor for me. Once I’m up and moving the soreness starts to subside. If I have an off day and I don’t really push myself in the gym, then my soreness is normally delayed till the next day or even two days later sometimes.
I rarely get sore.
The only way for me to get sore is to do a completely new exercise routine extremely hard. So every 6weeks or so when I change my routine I am capable of making myself sore and even then I am just a little sore after the first day but never again.
Yet strength and mass increases.
soreness for me is directly related to post workout nutrition and water intake/hydration for the following 24 hours. if one or the other is neglected i will hurt for at least two days possibly longer depending on how hard i hammered myself. kevo
Since Im now using freeweights instead of my bowflex - finally 
Im a little sore the next morning and feel it max out on the second day. Im sure that will change as my body adapts to freeweights instead of power rods that start at 60% then go to 100%
I usually get sore 2 days after a workout, whereas my training partner gets sore the day right after a workout. I’ve been working out a lot longer than him, so maybe there’s something to that.
We are the opposite. I’ve been training much longer than my partner and I get sore next day whereas he takes 2 days.
If I’m going to get sore, it’ll start about 36 hours after the workout. I’ve found the best cure for soreness is the next workout.
My chest and legs are the two areas that suffer from soreness the most. I did an intense deadlift and lunges workout yesterday, and I started feeling my legs when I woke up 2 hours ago - about 18 hours after my workout. On Saturday afternoon I did some sprinting, and my legs were still sore on Tuesday, after the soreness first appeared on Saturday night. I think DOMS is really variable and unpredictable. Its something that isn’t fully understood scientifically, anywyay.
I get sore exactly 24 hours after a workout; I can set my watch to it (OK, within an hour). Always legs, chest, triceps, sometimes biceps, but hardly ever back, shoulders, calves. I workout every other day unless I’m feeling totally recovered. Seems like whenever I get an afternoon nap the day after a workout, I can feel the muscle growth. Rest = growth.
