I rarely get DOMS.
I do challenge myself and when I do heavier workouts, I find that I am more fatigued and need more recovery time before doing one again. But I don’t really get sore. Supposedly women get it less than men, and certain people are more prone than others, but it is not related to effectiveness of a workout. Loaded eccentric movements are supposed to be more likely to cause DOMS. So you might get them from a ton of walking lunges and one-legged RDLs, but not as much with something else. |

Hi Kate,
In my experience, that's a good sign that although you may still accomplishing the micro-tears you want for strength, that damage can be offset by things like adequate sleep, fasting, a healthy diet, if you're getting in some stretching or mobility work, drinking plenty of water. Especially if you've been working out a long time. You've trained your body to handle all kinds of stimuli, which is great. Laura |
