Being sore after a work out...good sign?

[mahon83050]

I have been lifting 4-5X a week for 4 months and I still do get sore after a workout. I know you will be sore when you first start, however is this uncommon even when you have been working that same body part once a week for the past 4 months? I.E, I worked legs tonight (squats, leg extensions, hyperextensions) and I can barely walk up the stairs (a little sarcasm there). IMO, I say it is a good sign because it shows I worked my muscles hard and did not do a half assz workout. Do you agree and is this normal?

it means you're working hard. worry if you're never at least a little sore after a workout.

Heheh, here's somethin for you to try...

Add walking lunges while carrying dumbbells to your leg routine.

Now you'll REALLY not be able to walk the next morning...
