Muscle soreness after workout - Im confused

[TOkidd]

I read somewhere that it's not actually the muscle itself that is sore after a good workout, but the tendons and ligaments.

As for whether or not you should feel this after every workout...I think a lot of people struggle with this question because sometimes you can train very hard and not experience much soreness the following day or two, but another time you can have a relatively tame workout and wake up the next day feeling completely wrecked. So soreness after a workout is a strange phenomenon.

I don't know what else to say. I guess as long as you're still making progress, gaining size and strength, then it's a moot point.

Correct

DOMS will not effect your strength but your ROM may be limited due to surrounding tendons and ligaments becoming inflamed, your body's uses this as a form of defense

Basically your body's way of telling you to back off to prevent joint damage

Antioxidant supplementation will help alleviate DOMS symptoms sooner

Don't fall into the trap of taking NSAID's to mask pain

Not all body parts will experience the same level of DOMS due to limiting factors DOMS is not a sign of growth

I remember my younger years I would wake up in the morning and touch my chest the day after training chest and feel the DOMS and think to myself "YESSS" and wear it like a badge of honor LOL

Except for the fact that doms stands for delayed onset muscle soreness not delayed onset ligament soreness.

Went on one of my power trips again

I was trying to inflate the ligament and tendon inflammation to explain the reasoning behind reduced range of motion

DOMS does indeed occur in the muscle but it's more related to the inflammatory response than to the actual damage was what I was trying to get across
