How do I? |

It's a good sign your working hard. Once that happens, finish up what your doing and take a break, drink a protein shake and wait till the next day. |

I just re-read my last post and realized I spewed a bunch of crap without actually saying anything. |

It all depends on what kind of training you are doing. If you are doing strength training (building muscle), then muscle failure is a good place to stop. Everybody's muscles fail, once you work them beyond the point where they are comfortable. Everyone experiences muscle failure, upon a good workout. Once you work out to the point to where you feel like your muscles are approaching failure, your muscles are tapping new/unused muscle fibers to help complete the workout. That is what builds more muscle. |

I've heard that the soreness that lasts for a few days can be avoided by sticking to concentric muscle training. Most microtrauma comes from the eccentric part of the lift, where you are extending the muscles as they work. Of course, some people say that eccentric excercises are more effective at causing hypertrophy because of this exact reason. Others say the increased down time and reduced strength from DOMS offsets this benefit. There is so much B.S. out there, and these things are so hard to study, it is almost impossible to really know. |

Another take on it is that training to failure is a bad thing as it causes nerve damage. I should know the mechanics of it offhand but I don't so I'll look it up and report back. |

LUL. Go for concentric training if you want to be huge and totally weak. If you're actually like me and value strength over volume, you'll do full-movement training. |

Saying quantum physics explains cognitive processes is just like saying geology explains jurisprudence.
Stopping due to the burning from lactic acid build-up is a bad thing too. Drop down to a lower intensity, the continued lower intensity activity will help to flush the lactic acid. |
|
Lately, I've been feeling your pain with the DOMS. I changed up my workout to avoid using my injured shoulder for a few weeks. I've been focusing more on my legs, with excercises I don't normally do. |

Sounds like you aren't stretching enough, stretching helps prevent tightness, it's tightness which causes those pains. |
|
Nope. That's a myth. |

After a leg day(especially after a break) there's not much that will stop the infamous newbie waddle |

"Dont drink six beers at the same time?...BRILLIANT!"
The word shouting in my head reading the question is "Potassium." That's my guide JoAnne doing the shouting, I think. |
