Principals Of Training

[CLOMIDCLOWN]

Quick excerpt from Dr. Mirkin E-zine on health. He is a well respected doctor in sports medicine and the bottom section describes the difference between a regular DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and an injury.
Principles Of Training

You will not become a better athlete by doing the same
training regimen each day. Athletes train by taking hard workouts
on one day, feeling sore on the next, and not taking another hard
workout until the muscles stop feeling sore.
It's called the hard-easy principle. If you want to become
stronger or faster or increase your endurance, you have to
exercise hard or long enough to make your muscles burn. Then
your muscles will be sore for one or more days. If you try to
exercise hard when your muscles are damaged, you will tear
them and the muscles will weaken. If you wait for the soreness to
disappear, your muscles will be stronger than they were before
your workout. As you continue to take stressful workouts only
after the soreness disappears, you will become progressively
stronger and faster and have greater endurance. Athletes in most
sports train once or twice a day in their sports, but they do not
exercise intensely more often than every 48 hours.
There is a difference between the good burning of
training and the bad pain of an injury. The good burning usually
affects both sides of your body equally and disappears almost
immediately after you stop exercising. The bad pain of an injury
usually is worse on one side of your body, becomes more severe
if you try to continue exercising and does not go away after you
stop exercising.

Not totally true-you can cycle body parts trained, if every great athlee waited for his body to be free of doms they would train maybe once every three days heavily

Muscle burn is due to lactic acid an anaerobic pathway of energy, many powerlifters do not feel a burn when they train due to time the load the muscles will not produce that much lactic acid in comparison to moderate liftinf done to failure. Do push-ups untill you can' do them any more-it will burn real good but it won't make as strong as sub-max training with weight with added progression.

Then
your muscles will be sore for one or more days. If you try to
exercise hard when your muscles are damaged, you will tear
them and the muscles will weaken. If you wait for the soreness to
disappear, your muscles will be stronger than they were before
your workout. As you continue to take stressful workouts only
after the soreness disappears, you will become progressively
stronger and faster and have greater endurance. [/U]

What is hard??? To go to failure, or speed squating or GPP??? this formula is not constant.
