What’s the point of being in great shape if most of my waking hours outside the gym I’m stiff as a board?

DOMS gets considerably less severe the more you lift, and you learn to love the feeling.

>not loving DOMS
Dude, do you even want to make it?

I've been lifting for almost two years now, and I hardly ever get DOMS anymore. Sometimes my legs feel weak after some heavy squats, but it's not that painful lactic acid build up feeling.

Dumb ass
Being sore after lifting is how you KNOW you're improving
NO PAIN NO GAIN
Enjoy it while it lasts

It should not continue to hurt ... but when I move and I can feel the results of the gym/workout I usually feel great about it.

This will go away after your first few months of lifting. if not, you arent eating correctly and you need to stretch/sleep.

But doms feel good man (apart from those after leg day. These suck ass)

I've been seriously lifting for 4 years. I'm still DYEL but I'm hitting 360 on squat and 450 deads. The soreness after a volume workout is still there depsite hitting every muscle group three times a week. The difference is that it's not the same debilitating DOMS. If you can't learn to live it then you won't make it. To reduce it, stretch, foam roll, full body everyday, and maybe a bath in epson salts. But yeah if you intend to get strong its gonna hurt and it's never gonna get easy.

Also, I'm a masochists so theres that

Got doms in my gooch muscle once from doing a ton of real hard kegels. Jesus sneezing hurt.

I once sprained my gooch during a sneeze. Felt like someone poked it with a knife.

>barely able to move around at home
>shower and pass out
>wake up not sore at all and fine whole day
Why am I like this?

>Not loving legs DOMS
But seriously, the thing the keeps me going is at my weakest, I'm still stronger than you at your strongest. That's how I live with DOMS.

But a fatass could easily beat you up during DOMS.

Can you give me your ab routine? I have no idea on what to do for abs

You learn to love the DOMS you get from an extra tough session.

how does one avoid that

I do abs in my hiit sessions for when my legs and arms give out.
Weighted Russian twists. Just do like a Russian twist while holding a plate or whatever.
Seated leg raises where you basically move your legs in an arc from one side to the other.
L-sit>leg raises>knee raises if you have like a counter top with a corner or like parallel bars.

Also I do a hollow hold for about 90 seconds in the morning with my other isometrics every day

Thx I appreciate it

I barely get doms nowadays and when I do I'm fucking happy

>body sore for a solid 18 hours after a lifting session
