HOW TO AVOID DELAYED ONSET MUSCLE SORENESS (DOMS) Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) can be a dreadful post-workout affliction that affects every lifter and athlete as they expose their muscles to unfamiliar stress.
WHAT IS DOMS? Delayed-onset muscle soreness is an inflammatory response to exercise-induced muscle tissue damage. It is the aching soreness in a muscle group caused by strenuous exercise, usually felt most intensely 24 to 72 hours post-workout and can last up to a week.
SOME PRE-WORKOUT METHODS TO PREVENT DOMS 1) Always warm up prior to exercising. Even something as simple as walking or cycling for 10 minutes can significantly reduce soreness. 2) Taking BCAAs before your workout can help increase muscle protein synthesis and reduce protein breakdown, muscle damage which lessen the symptoms of DOMS. 3) Supplementation can help with combating the inflammation that creates DOMS.Hydroxymethyl-Butyrate or HMB, a popular bodybuilding supplement that is a metabolite of the crucial amino acid Leucine, can help limit muscle catabolism.
