Ah yes I take your point Musashi One of the few YouTube/Insta people I trust once posted two pics taken minutes apart to show just what a difference lighting and posture could make.Think she was talking about the misconceptions around 'bloat' at the time.

SPR I appreciate that but having not done anything for a while I was expecting some reaction haha Fair enough, how big was the gap. I avoid weights in track season because I can't do it often enough to be sure of avoiding DOMS. |

Well no DOMS is always a good thing as far as I'm concerned so I wouldn't worry.

DOMS is one of those weird actually not useful badges of honour like throwing up after a hard rep at track. Not necessary or desirable! I mean DOMS is ok and it does mean your muscles have done something - but it's no indication of quality or usefulness! Which is what SPR is saying. I'm just copying!

I don't get DOMs very often (luckily) either through cardio or strength training so I have always thought I am just not very good at pushing myself. Like my heart rate - I rarely get anaerobic off Garmin and have never pushed myself that much that I was on the verge of sickness Maybe I am good at doing just enough without over doing it! |

I agree. DOMS is just a thing I know from experience that I'm likely to get in certain training situations. I've felt unwell when racing occasionally, but I can't turn myself outside in like some people seem able to do. I sometimes wish I could. |

I never really got to the throwing up stage after running, even at Fetch Miles. A rowing 2km test flat out, though, has me dry fetching afterwards but only when I’m properly fit to do it. When I’m in a less trained state I can’t maintain the effort level needed for that sort of gastric reaction. And DOMs is a thing that sometimes happens but doesn’t really correspond to effort in training generally. |

So I seem to be the other way here! I'm still on 4x bootcamps a week, and I am still getting absolutely horrendous DOMS quite a bit (mainly hamstrings and upper body) I am now 7 months in and it still hurts a lot. I thought the DOMS would have worn off by now. I'm not sure if I'm trying to do 'too much' It's far less than I used to, but I still run or ride every day as well as the 4 bootcamps and with a much more exhausting non stop life it might be more of a recovery issue than actual bootcamp issue if that makes sense? Probably doesn't help that bootcamp is Mon Wed Thurs Fri, so Wed/Thurs/Fri I can sometimes be piling DOMS on DOMS (we also have a hard bike club 19-20mphish 50k ride on a Weds eve after morning bootcamp, I run about 10k on a Thurs lunch before evening bootcamp and then ride Friday lunch or eve after morning bootcamp) |
