Rinna Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I am aiming for 150-200 today. I'm so very sore, so we'll see. I'm trying, peeps. 1 Quote Level 20 Daywalker Fitbit Rinna joins the Fellowship to Rivendell 318.24/458 Spoiler "The only way to lose is to give up." -Tanktimus the Encourager "You can't beat someone that refuses to give up." -Björn Járnhamar Link to post
Artemis Fernweh Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 It was so surprising this morning. I wasn't sore at all, even after 200 squats throughout the day and box jumps in the morning. Really happy about it but also a wee but paranoid. I don't know. 1 Quote Ranger - Level 7 My Character Current Challenge Link to post
NeverThatBored Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Sometimes doing the thing that made you sore in the first place actually helps get rid of the DOMS. So, (theoretically) the more you keep squatting each day, the fewer DOMS you will have.

Aren't you sposed to rest to allow for muscle repair? If you're doing the squats for training & building strength, yes. You'd rest to give your muscles time to repair and get stronger and then try to do more squats the next time. Maybe you'd throw in a small set just to get the muscles working to help recover from the DOMS faster. If you're doing them for a competition like ours, still yes but maybe not until after the competition (or if the DOMS are really bad and you are at risk of hurting yourself).

Artemis Fernweh Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I just did 40 more. I'm trying to get as many done today as I can because my work schedule is kinda wonky tomorrow and I don't know how many I'll be able to get. Aiming for 200 at the least though. 1 Quote Ranger - Level 7 My Character Current Challenge Link to post
