Just kidding just kidding. Hey guys I was wondering if it's good to lift a sore muscle or should I wait because it's still in the healing process. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Wait until it isn't sore anymore. Soreness is usually a good indication that the muscle is in the first stages of repairing the damage. Even when it isn't sore anymore, the muscle is still repairing damage. So wait until a few days after the soreness has gone away or you will be overtraining it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Sore is ok, just warm it up by stretching doing light strict warmups, pain is another story and only you can determine the difference. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I usually agree with my bro Kodiak, but I gotta say wait. Don't train a muscle when its still sore. You'll overtrain and shrivel up like a badmitton player. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Do you train the same muscle more than once per 6 days (other than abs and calves)? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I'm with kodiak, muscle sorenes is not a real indicator for muscle training layoff. Many factors play a part, you also don't need be sore after workout to acheive excesllent muscle growth. MikE H / VIKING OF THE NORTH. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I like to have one or two days of no soreness before I hit the muscle again. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I agree with Kodiak as usual, I wouldnt even directly train a sore muscle, until it is completley recovered. I do a 7 day cycle, so usually you only hit each body part once a week directly. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
