I used to never get DOMS. But that was primarily when I was lifting lighter and higher reps. Since starting to lift heavier and heavier I get DOMs more and more. This past week has been ridiculous though. My pecs killed me for 4 whole days and now my quads and butt are so sore I am grabbing walls to sit down. I am not sure what changed except my weights. |
I've heard from people that do body part splits and then go to a full body workout that often get rid of their DOMs. I've always pretty much done full body workouts so maybe that's the difference.

Since insulin lowers cortisol, which is the natural painkiller, it's understandable how eating more carbs will increase DOMS.

I always learn so much from you Espi. I didn't know that insulin lowers cortisol (which is especially interesting since PCOSers gain in the middle which is also related to cortisol if I remember correctly). If carbs are an issue, today might be interesting since yesterday was a very carby day.
