I have always gotten sore exactly two days after a workout. I just joined back to my gym, and had an intense workout on Monday. Today I would’ve made a penguin look like a prima ballerina with how stiff and sore I was/am. Thank deity for hot showers. I’m not looking forward to Friday. 😅
Yeah! It’s actually a pretty major pitfall that I feel like doesn’t get talked about enough. Many people have a tendency to conclude “this isn’t working anymore” when they reach that point, due to the lack of soreness. People often feel inclined to switch up their exercises to reintroduce the soreness.
But it’s a terrible irony, as that is usually the point where you will begin to see really great progress on your program.
The critical thing to ask yourself is whether you are progressing in your lifts. If you added 5lbs or got more reps (without changing your technique), then you’re on the right path
