Return to Training: How to Relieve Delayed Muscle Soreness


Discomfort is common and inevitable for those who have stopped for a long time, but there is a limit

In short, delayed muscle soreness (DOMS) is the discomfort many people feel after a common or high-intensity workout. DMT occurs when a peak occurs between 48 and 72 hours after the respective activity. In this sense the question arises spontaneously: can I train with delayed onset muscle soreness?




Answers

“It depends. There is a point in periodization where we apply a very intense training load, called “shock load”. This type of training involves a very severe attack on the muscle. So that when you recover, you have a super compensation and a plateau breaks”, explains the sports advisor Leandro Gemello.

“In this type of advanced periodization technique, we have to train with pain. So, we do a very intense workout and, normally, one or two days later, we repeat the same muscle group with a very high intensity. In order to attack the muscle condition which, as mentioned above, will later overcompensate and break a plateau,” adds Leandro.

When asked if it is possible to train even with this delayed pain, Twin admits that he can train with this type of muscle problem as long as there is a serious program.

“There is therefore the possibility of training with delayed muscle soreness as long as it is on schedule. This normally does not happen frequently because it would lead to an overtraining process,” he explains.

Plan

Leandro explains below that shock load work must be planned to avoid serious injury risks and the effects of excessive exercise.

“The shock load must be programmed and then a regenerative load must follow, because if a normal training load (stabilizing or ordinary) is applied we run a serious risk of injury or overtraining,” he concludes.
