Muscle Soreness Explained: What's Normal and What's Not
About this episode
The episode explains delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), its causes, and how to differentiate between normal soreness and injury.
Feeling sore after a workout and not sure if it’s normal or something to worry about? In this episode, Coach Adam, Coach Jolie, and Coach Terra break down delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS): what it is, why it happens, and how to tell the difference between soreness and injury. You’ll learn how long DOMS should last, whether you should train through it, and how to recover so you can stay consistent without beating your body up. We also cover one of the biggest mistakes people make: chasing soreness instead of progress—and what to focus on instead if you actually want results.
