Weightlifting & Exercise - Soreness


Expert: Richard Edmondson - 6/30/2009

Question
Hi Rick,

Is the level of soreness the day after a work out an accurate gauge for determining how productive of a workout I had the day before?

Sometimes, the day after I work my legs, they are so sore that I can barely walk. Other times they are SORE - but not painful at all. I have noticed this variation after doing similar lifting programs on different days.

Thanks!

Answer
Hi

No not really, I mean if your legs are sore to whatever level of discomfort you feel then your leg muscles have been worked well.

You could have the best workout ever and not feel any pain the next day, if that did happen not a problem as sometimes the muscles won't build lactic acid up as much etc.
