How long are you sore for?

[musketeer]

After a leg workout on Monday, I know that I'm going to be sore until at least Thursday. My Chest can be sore for 3 days and after killer trap work I can hardly move my shoulders for 4 days. One time - when I squatted with 315lb for the first time - I literally couldn't walk for 2 days and was sore for nearly a week. What about everybody else?

Usually not sore at all. Although I'm dead by the end of each workout.

Sometimes I get sore the next day, and legs sometimes for 2-3 days. Usually it's not too bad, if anything.

I do a shit load of warm-ups though. I think there's a correlation between people being overly sore for days, and not warming up and stretching right.

Legs...3-5 days (depending on routine)
Chest...2 days
Back...2 days
Arms...3 days
Shoulders...3 days

On or off cycle? Big difference...

I'd say on cycle about 2 days, which is why I'm doing everything except legs 2 times a week.

I only get sore when I change exercises or go up in weight; maybe 48 hours.

i have been sore for an entire week from legs once. that's a good indication that i did too much. usually i get 4 days. 3 for other bodyparts. unusually my back rarely if ever gets sore.

usually just one day, except legs, legs are usually 2 or 3 days dependng on how hard i hit em.

Not much at all. Sometimes my chest gets a little sore for about a day, but my legs almost never get sore lol. I just don't get sore much and don't think much of it. My traps got sore this weekend for the first time in weeks from some high rep hise shrugs. Highly recommend them if you've never tried them.

I notice when I don't drink enough water for some reason I stay sore longer,add water and not too sore.The creatine seems to help the soreness also.
