To workout or not to workout that is the question?

[Anonymous]

I still have slight DOMS on my glutes from weight lifting that I think will be gone by tomorrow, should I workout now or tomorrow? Since the DOMS is only slight when I squeeze my butt lol I don't know whether I should just workout now.. what do you think?

Today

Tomorrow

Well this is obviously rather late, but say you work out on Monday and are sore on Tuesday, work out Wednesday. If you work out on Monday and are sore on Tuesday, you shouldn't work out on Tuesday. Mostly because you should be giving your muscles a day rest in between. There's a bit of debate still in the air about how long the breaks between resistance exercise/weight training, but generally a lot of people stick by the day off rule of thumb.

Alternate your weight days. Unless it's a sharp, injury pain, DOMS shouldn't keep you from working out. The days that you ARE sore, you should just take it easy and do some cardio. What kind, is up to you and how sore you are.

Try rolling it out and see how it feels. Use one of those hard cylinders and lay your pressure spot on it, and roll out the pain until hell subsides. When done right, you can get back in the action as soon as tomorrow.

If its hurts little so you can go today, if its hurt a lot so maybe tomorrow

if you had to come here to ask us if you should go or not then you shouldn't go, but tomorrow go all the way 100% to make up if you feel guilty or just go 100% anyways :))
