Muscle hurts why?
Why would my biceps hurt today (wednesday) if I worked them out monday and they didnt hurt tuesday.

So is the soreness saying I did a good workout or bad?
|
Soreness is a very poor indicator of whether or not you experienced a good or bad workout. An good workout doesn't necessarily lead to soreness. The effectiveness of a workout depends on what type of workout is imposed on tissue that is at a certain level of conditioning (resistant to damage). What I mean is that if your muscles are somewhat deconditioned, your soreness will be greater. I rarely feel any significant DOMS, just slightly. It goes away fast. Maybe you pushed alot harder than usual, or you didn't have very good postworkout nutrition. Either way, you'll be fine. If you did the exact same workout next week, you'll probably experience alot less soreness due to your muscles being better conditioned to what you're doing. In short, view it as a good thing...

Wanting: You seem to have been lifting for a while now. Why the sudden DOMS? Did you change something? Do a lot more volume? Take some time off?
Just curious. |
I tried new exercises week before wasn't one of my better workouts this week I switched back to my old exercises which I feel gives me a better workout so maybe that was it.

Going along with this, I have been doing omost the same lifts for the last 7 mounths or so, someone told me that you should change your lifts about, because the body will be used to the ones that you have been doing for a while. While you start the new ones, your body will strenghen evan more and more.
Should I do this, say for my biceps, I have been doing standing French curls for some time, I have added more weight to it over time. But I don't feel like I work my biceps up too much. And I don't have any dumbells, was thinking of hitting the schools gym for some lifting...just wondering what he said is true. |

Your mucsles will definitely get used to the same routine day after day--especially 7 months. Changing exercises is a great tool to spur growth.
However, COMPOUND lifts should be the core of your routine if you want to get bigger. Forget about bicep-specific lifts. Concentrating on the "big four" will help with all those auxillary muscles. Those four are: Bench, Dead Lift, Squat and Chins. |
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well said.
