insane DOMS from DC training

[No_Logic]

So I started DC training this week (first workout yesterday) and I woke up this morning with some crippling DOMS! I plan on working out today (different muscle groups of course) resting Wednesday and then hitting the same groups again Thursday as I did on Monday.....I really think I just hit the weights really hard because it was an intense workout and I also did the extreme stretching as recommended which could also be the culprit. I'm eating tons of food (after the workout in the afternoon I probably took in close to 2500 cals the rest of the day, good quality food). When is it ok to lift if you still hurt, would I be overtraining hitting the same group Thursday if I still have some minor DOMS? and what is a good way to not get DOMS like this.....focus on pwo nutrition? Thanks

Overtraining is more cumulative than just 2 workouts.

You're feeling the pain of the eccentric work (if you're doing dc properly). If it hurts to the point of not being able to give it all you can, then I wouldn't workout. However, if you only feel the pain slightly, have at it. But if you're JUST starting DC, please tell me you've elected to do the 3x per week version and not the 4x per week version. I can almost bet that you aren't ready for the latter.

yeah, I'm sticking to the 3 a week schedule for sure....body cant handle more than that starting off on this, what kills me though are those 6 second negatives rest pause sets! they just tear me up, but i know im definitely making progress though doing them, and after seeing your pics and with that monster standing next to you, thats all the motivation i needed to switch up my MT ThF one muscle group a week split to MWF DoggCrapp

I have been reading up on the DC routine as well, my plan is to give it a go just as a change of pace. How long is your blast and how long your cruise?
Good luck with it bro, keep us informed
