Soreness=Not Recovered?

[F4iGuy]

If a muscle is still sore does that mean its not fully recovered? And should not be worked that day?

Example. I trained legs (lots of volume, squats, etc.) and quads are a bit sore. It's been 6 days since I trained them and I'm scheduled to hit them today. What to do?

Wait on your quads they have not recovered. Continuing to put strain on this muscle will slow down your growth. Give it more time to heal hit the hams and calve

Do you take glutamine I find that after a hard work out it cut's down your recovery time .

I suggest you lift and do it at a lighter intensity, maybe less exercises depending on how many you normally do.

Workout.

I find that if your really sore after a good workout over a extended time your diet may need some help and also the muscles can just tighten up so doing a couple nice warm-up sets and then letting it be (start yourworkout rotation the next day if soreness goes away) after that can really help you out.

If they are sore I would not train them, if it has been 6 days you probably need to lighten the load. I would cut back on volume not intensity eg, less sets and/or less exercises.

I'm following the slingshot 4 day split (RELOAD 3 weeks high volume, DELOAD 2 weeks mid volume, RELOAD 3 weeks high volume, PRIME 2 weeks low volume, repeat).

I'm usually sore at the start of the first and second week of high volume then it dissipates. The soreness isn't bad, kinda tight and I feel it if I contract the muscle but not when it's relaxed. I'm probably over analyzing here.

It's perfectly fine to go ahead and workout in this particular situation. Just make sure you are warmed up good before going heavy.

I figured out my problem. I changed my split and forgot that I moved legs to a different day. Turns out I've still got several days before doing legs again.
