    Do you enjoy DOMS.

    I personally love DOMS, it makes me feel like I've done a proper workout. I like it best in my legs.

    It depends how bad it is. I've had it so I couldn't straighten my arms for a week. Made every day activities like getting dressed pretty difficult.

    I don't get sore with low volume. And besides, soreness isn't an indicator of a good workout.

    It may not be an indicator of a good workout but it sure as hell is satisfying to me.

    Nope, I dont enjoy paper cuts, stubbing my toe on furniture, smashing fingers in doorways, or DOMS.

    I do, but I'm afraid about my next workout if it lasts too long.

    I do sometimes, if I've had bad workouts for a while, then hit the gym hard and get a mild case of it, it satisfys me and makes me feel that I got something out of my effort.

    Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness


    The soreness you get hours or a day after lifting.

    I like it in my arms because I feel it so seldom. I really barely ever feel sore. Mostly I feel soreness in the chest and legs, but very rarely in my calves, arms, delts, and traps. I dont know.

    Eh.

    It quite quite an interesting example of pain perception. If I felt the same level of soreness from the flu or bruising I would be moaning groaning, and generally feeling sorry for myself. But because it's DOMS, I like it, and enjoy the feeling of soreness.

    In my opinion, knowing that you have done something to cause a change to your body is pleasant, but the actual DOMS is not.

    My soreness pattern is exactly the same. Maybe its a short thing

    DOMS is fine with me, I kinda like it, except in my lower back. That area is annoying cause it makes it hard to tie your damn shoes

    I like DOMS in any bodypart except my legs when I have to work. I hate walking like a penguin the day after a leg workout.

    I once got told by some woman at work that I was walking like an old man. When you have DOMS there is no other way you can walk.
