I Hurt More 2 days after lifting?

[D_Master]

Has anyone else ever had this happen? I have been getting back into the workout scene the past few weeks and recently I will go pretty hard and not feel to bad the next morning or most of the day. But like today I wake up 2 days later and definetely feel it. Wed. night I did my back routine and no my lats and traps are really sore on Friday but yesterday I only felt it a little. The same thing happened earlier this week after my chest workout 2 days later my pecs were really sore. I just wondered if anyone knew the reason for this.

It is called DOMS (delayed onset muscle sorness) and is the result of microscopic muscle tears. The pain is due to swelling which occurs anywhere from a few hours up to 3 days after the excersize. It is not a bad thing, because after your muscles are repaired, they grow bigger/stronger.

It is quiet common and happens to beginers or if you work yourself very hard/with a larger load. I get it sometimes.

True. Just keep going and If it really hurts that bad, then cut down on the intensity a little. Just until your body gets used to what you are doing, then you can slowly raise it to higher than before.
