Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness - Friend or Foe?
Recently I started introducing strength training 2x per week to my regime. Exercises now consist of pull-ups and ab work, and I plan to start doing other exercises (lower body too). However, my muscles are sore because I work my reps until failure, typically.
I should mention that I swim 5x per week.
Do you think this soreness will tend to go away once I'm better conditioned with weights? I still plan to do my reps until failure to help build strength. Also, should I just swim hard while still sore?
Generally, how do folks typically handle the combination of strength training DOMS and swim practice?
I think that if you do numbered sets rather than failure ,you might feel better about yourself also.
Choose a number for each lift and the do 3 sets of 20 or 30 rather than submit to "failure"
Swimming is a repetition sport not to failure sport I M O
