Muscle soreness is something that all of you should have experienced. Muscle soreness is usually caused by muscle tears due to your muscle building workout or even your daily activities. For example, if you spent your day helping your friend move his furniture, how would your muscles feel the next day? The severity of your muscle soreness depends on the intensity of your workout or your activity. Lifting two set of weights would definitely get your muscles more sore than lifting one set of the same weight.For bodybuilders or weight trainers, muscle soreness will occur in its worst form if you take a break from your muscle building workout schedule and make a comeback with full intensity later. There are 3 types of soreness and they represent different messages that your body wants to deliver to you.
Mild Soreness
Mild Soreness will occur almost every time you finish your muscle building workout. The level of pain should be minimal and should not affect your daily activities at all. For example, you should not find it painful to wear your clothes or walk around due to the soreness. The message your body wishes to deliver with such soreness is that your muscle tissues are damaged and would recover soon with sufficient rest. This soreness is a healthy feeling for bodybuilders as it tells you, your body had a workout that would result in growth and strength gain! (muscle tissues need to be damaged before they repair and recover, growing bigger and stronger).
Delayed Soreness
Delayed soreness occurs when you take a break from your muscle building workout schedule and make a come back at full intensity. In this case, your muscle is telling you that it is tired and that it needs rest and nutrients in order to come back stronger. Many bodybuilders ignore the message and continue training. In this case, they put themselves at the risk of an injury. Most bodybuilders will think that they will just train other muscle groups that are not aching. However, this is not the right thing to do! The last thing on mind you would want is an injury that puts you right out of training.
Injury soreness
Injury soreness occurs when you have injured your muscles badly. You will feel sharp pains in your muscles as though they are bring pricked by needles. Daily activities would be affected and you will need long breaks to recover your muscles fully (They will recover in a weakened stage instead of bring stronger from mild soreness). Blame yourself for not taking good care of your muscles.
Recovery Tips (From any soreness)
Sleeping is one of the amazing ways your body recovers. Grab at least 8 hours a day for sufficient rest.
Drink lots of water to keep your body and muscle cells hydrated.
Do light stretching and massaging to get rid of lactic acid and to increase blood flow in your muscles.
Take in more protein in your meals or take supplements as protein helps you with repairing and growing your muscle tissues.
