triceps sore after two days

[AAden]

hello all,

I did 8 sets of triceps two days ago. It was a new routine the involved skull crushers and reverse grip close grip bench as well as cables.

The back of my triceps are really sore after two days off.
Is this normal? i've never had sore triceps before. I thought the smaller muscles were supposed to recover quicker?

My diet and sleep patterns are good.

it is fine.....most will say soreness isn't a pure indication that you've worked them hard....BS, they are sore for a reason. my legs take up to four days before i can walk normal.

I hate it when I work out and I'm not sore a day or two after. I love the sore feeling. It lets me know that I'm doing things right because it's stressing the muscles. Soreness is good (no pain, no gain), but of course if it's too painful, then you've overdone yourself.

Man up, my hams and glutes have been sore for up to 5 days before, those two are the muscles that always take long to recover

two days on most muscles is not bad. Typicaly delayed onset musce soreness (DOMS) will be worst the second day after working. Also, the secondary muscles such as Bi's or Tri's will be more sore than the larger muscles, such as chest or back. I would suggest taking a good amino and also add glutamine to your supplements. Hope this helps.

My tris will stay sore for several days. It doesnt really bother me that bad on bench day though. My bi's hardly ever get sore and I love the feeling of my whole back being sore for a couple days after a monster back day.
