How long did you take a break from lifting? It might be that your body is not used to working out, it could take a month or two before your body adjusts.

oh man the break was for about a year i tore my right lat, both of my rotator cuffs, and my right peck

are u doing the same volume that u were doing before you stopped?? I find stretching and hot baths really help soreness

after a leg day i have been sore for about 6 days, just enough time to do legs again...lol

it usually happens when i change a workout or increase the volume or weight in my workouts

its rare to have happen every workout, but after a year off its completly understandable

[MuscleScience]

If your just getting back into resistance training after a year. Your body see's this new stimulus as a novel stress. Meaning after 3 months of of training your body has completely lost all its adaptations to exercise. In comparison when you stop aerobic training it takes as little as a week to lose the increased amount of aerobic enzymes that were built up due to training. In a couple weeks or so you should start getting progressively less and less sore.

after my injury i was laid up for about 5 monthes . about the 4th month i got alot of deep tissue massages (not the asian...me love you long time kind...although i would have been nice)
they hurt like hell at first but after about 2 weeks (two massages a week) the pain was not as bad and by the 2nd month i was good.
my muscles nice and relaxed the gym was not that bad.

Totally normal. As you get back into the routine your soreness shouldn't last as long.

[Sir Lifts-a-lot]

Give it some time. Soreness is basically your muscles ripping and growing to adapt to the fatigue it is put under. I personally wouldn't work a group again until the soreness subsides to the point where I won't be in PAIN anymore. That is your body telling you to take it easy and slow it down.

[AcePowerZ]

Well that means your doing something right!!! if you get sore good!!! you train a particular muscle group once a week you usually stay sore until next workout. Tearing muscle=sore give it 4-5 days to recover then you should be stronger by next workout.

[chopper9451]

more protien makes me recover from the soarness faster. still wait 5 days to retrain
