DOMS Deltoids

[Deleted member 33117]

Mine have, but its rare. DOMS is very rare in detoids in most individuals. I have a book somewhere that explains the biological reason for this. I'll try to find it later.

Bodyby,

Hey! That would be interesting. Please post it!

Wahts DOMS?

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.

Probably like other high rep muscles it is disadvantagious for them to get sore to the point of being unuseable. You use your shoulders for everything that your upperbody does. Every time you carry, push, or pull they get used. So on an evolutionary standpoint they are designed for high useage and output.

mine only get sore after super intense workouts. and even then only slightly sore.

my rear head gets sore easily, but lateral and front head are practically bulletproof... which sucks since it's so hard to get that lateral head to "peak".

my front delts get sore only from incline bb bench and military press(bringing bar down in front of face). my side delts get sore only if i do upright rows, and it's only for a day or so. they won't get sore if i do lateral raises and no upright rows

I revoke my previous statement, b/c my front delts do get sore, usually on shoulder press.


I also never have sore bis, shoulders.

Hmmm... the only muscle of mine that consistantly has DOMS are my pecs. In fact, yesterday I did only one set for chest. It was a striping set on the hammerstrength incline machine, and I'm sore today.

I think soreness is from stretching before the concentric movement. That`s why the chest gets sore, the bar goes down on your chest and stretches your chest. Overhead tricep press the tricep stretches. But when curling, your bis don`t stretch (unless doing incline DB curls) Also when doing shoulders, it`s hard to stretch the deltoid. They only get stretched a little when doing Incline bench or something...

This is NOT scientific it`s just my opinion and what I`ve experienced. There are other factors involved, but THOSE things are doing it for me. I actually don`t like getting really sore.
