Does anyone else like the day after the gym pain?

[CityBoy773]

I actually love the feeling of tight muscles an a hurting body the day after I leave the gym, cause it's a sign, to me at least, that I at least tried. I've been going more often, and even signed up, because I need to be more active. I've become quite lazy since I quit track earlier this yr. So I signed up for a $40/mo (for 18 mo) gym membership to force myself to go, like I tell myself "I already paid for it and I'm stuck here, I have to pay a lot to get out of it, so use it Chris." and I go an stay for about half an hr to 45 mins, to an hr if I'm pissed.

But I digress a little, so does anyone else like that feeling or is it just me?

And it's usually only with my upper body, cause I admit to being pretty damn weak. Gotta do a LOT in leg workouts to feel it.

Well, I don't go to gym, but when (once in a blue moon) I do work out, the pain/soreness lasts for like a week, and I absolutely hate it, I can't even stand up or sit down, or walk fast without it hurting A LOT. So, nope, I do not enjoy that pain. I know it means that something is happening and stuff, but nah, all that is not worth that one workout.

Ahhh It's That Virgin Pain ehh - Once Your Body Gets Used To Working Out - The Pain Will Less & Less & Less

Yah I like the feeling too. It makes me feel tough lol.

For legs I use to get really sore and pain after leg day, but then I started foam rolling and had no pain the next day. Not what you asked, but whenever I get the chance to express my love for foam rolling, I take it. xD

I love being sore, I lift every other day & go run all the others with Sunday being a rest day. I'm never sore from leg day because of how much I run... Upper body, that's different, lol. I do chest press/bicep curl & abs. It feels great because I know that soreness means I had a good workout.

Dam 40 a month? I get it for 10 a month or at a gym with pool and sauna is 20 a month. Congrats on feeling that pain though, I know what you mean. I like the feeling of it to, it makes me feel accomplished and I deserve the rest.

Yeah it's kind of expensive, but it lasts me for the next yr and a half and I live in a smaller town. I asked for rates in other cities, and it actually goes down when I move to a bigger city, and even lower when I prove I attend the university out here.

Yeah but it doesn't happen that often anymore. I just did calf raises and then uphill runs two days ago and my calfs are still tight though! I need to add some things to my workout now because I've been using the same workouts for awhile now.

I don't like the feeling, because it limits my range of movements for the day. But it does give me a greater sense of accomplishment than leaving with the feeling that I could do more.

[EarthToKepler]

I love that feeling in every muscle apart from traps and calves haha I wish I experianced it more after a week of working out it got really really hard for me to feel that feeling

[Kenzy-Yinn]

For me it's the feeling of pushing myself during the training to the point that I didn't think I'd make it, but I did

I don't really have that much pain afterwards, because I stretch after it all

[MrHart]

Eh, Yes, But eventually you won't be getting sore all the time, i say 6 months into it you'll reach a wall, Then you gotta change your routine

[CityBoy773]

Probably, which is why I'm signing up for the colleges karate class. I think that have Brazilian Jiu-jitsu there as well, cause if they do I'm signing up to that instead. I need to stay active.

[PrettyBoyFloyd24]

Yes I love it! Nothing like waking up sore as fuck!

[TravisG]

Dont like it but thats when you know you got a good workout.
