the day after a workout do you have to feel sore in order to grow?

[951thompson]

two things going on

1) exercise to stimulate a growth response
2) sore = tearing down muscle fiber

you don't need #2 to get #1

if you have been in the gym awhile, with good intensity, your muscle fibers should have already adapted and not much of #2 going on.

having said that, we all get a "little" bit sore the next day to a certain extent.

Ive always changed my routine if I don't ache the next day, Ive always associated been sore with having a good workout, but I've been reading lye McDonalds website recently where he explains this is not necessary. He says Nor do u need to intensely pound a muscle so much that it feels sore the next (which is what I've been doing)

So im going to give this lower intensity all over body training a shot.

Thanks roman, very informative as always :-)

thanks mate.

tbh, I always feel a bit sore the next day.

but there are diffferent types of soreness. one is the "i've ripped something" type. the other is just being comfortably sore, but it doesn't functionally get in the way. when i was younger, the next day "comfortably sore" really didn't happen much. I chalk it up to getting a bit older.......
