DOMS and the point of no return

Well it's been two days since my VO2 max training day and I am still sore as heck. (For the lay person DOMS means delayed onset muscle soreness). Even after 20+ years of training I still make mistakes, mine being cranking out a lot of snatches without having done them for about a month. I remember reading how some bodybuilders would do hundreds of sets of one particular exercise to determine if it works for them. Marty Gallagher "The Purposeful Primitive" told of a time he did 50 reps of one arm curls for each arm on the hour for 10 straight hours - and his arms locked up the next day! I don't feel that bad but you get the picture.

Let's examine my situation:
Lats: Some tightness
Triceps: Sore, felt like I did 20 sets of brain crushers
Biceps: Sore - some kettlebellers have huge arms - this proves why
Hamstrings: Felt like I got whacked with a baseball bat
Glutes: Ditto
Psoas: Finally! Thanks to Z work!

When looking at the areas that were sore (and not sore), I realized it was directly attributable to my Z training. My muscles are now firing! In the past, this type of work would have led to a severly sore lower back. I took a long walk, did Z health, ate as much as I could and still felt it. To top it off I had some sleep distubances. I asked Mike T Nelson about remedies and he also recommended an epson bath. He also stated that DOMS peaks in 24-48 hours and that even after just 1 exposure, your body will not see nearly as much DOMS with the same exercise. Awesome!

So the moral of the story is don't go overboard unless you have been practicing the exercise. If you are a bodybuilder on the juice knock yourself out. Otherwise you WILL knock yourself out.
