Day After

[vwgti]

Do you ever find that you are more sore the day after your day off then on the day off?

For me I had the day off from training yesterday, but today I am sore and stiff.....

Wondering what your thoughts are....

I think this is pretty common. It isnt called Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness for nothing. After a heavy work out the first day I am sore, next day I am really sore and stiff, 3rd day is somewhat like day 1 and after that the soreness slowly dwindles and is gone completely after a week. Of course this only happens when I work out for the first time after a lay off or new cycle or after hurdles jumps in the evening with lots of short sprints and a PR work out on DLs and Dips in my 5x5 cycle.

also if you are completely sedetary on the day off, it will hit you a lot harder the following day. only time i am ever sore is leg day though.
