You crushed your workout—but two days later, you’re hobbling down the stairs like you’re 90. That deep, aching muscle soreness? That’s DOMS—Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness—and it’s not the sign of a great workout you think it is.
In this episode, we unpack:
- What actually causes DOMS (spoiler: it’s not lactic acid)
- Why eccentric movements trigger more soreness
- The most common mistakes that make DOMS worse
- How to prevent that can’t-move-my-legs feeling
- Smart recovery tactics that support your body like a well-oiled pit crew
I’ll also explain why soreness isn’t the goal—progress is—and how you can build durability without burning out. Whether you’re just getting back into training or you’re tired of feeling wrecked after every session, this one’s for you.
👊 Let’s learn how to train smarter and recover better.
