For example, I do chest on Wednesdays, and my chest will be sore Thursday, Friday and Saturday. And keep in mind I only do 8 sets for my chest. By Sunday my chest is no longer sore. Another example, Legs & Abs day is my Thursday, and my legs will be sore Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I know that recently I have really focused on the “less is more” approach, i.e., I lowered the weights I use on my exercises so that I am doing each rep slowly, recruiting as many fibers as possible, and boy has that really affected my DOMS. I have been doing THT for about 3 years now, and here is one psychological dilemma that I’ve struggled with – Progressive Overload vs. Proper Lifting technique. What I’ve noticed is that over time, I become so focused on Progressive Overload that my technique falters, and then it’s time to reset. It’s hard to ignore progressive overload, but I’m trying to not look at my log and what I did the week before, and rather focus on the reps, and really let my body tell me that I’ve gone to failure, and that I’ve done the reps right. I hope this helps others…
