muscle soreness

watterflower Posts: 1 Joined: 2007/03/08	2007/04/03, 02:49 PM Hello, I have started my training about a week ago. I have noticed a strange thing. My muscles that I worked on were not sore after I worked out until TWO DAYS after. no soreness until then. I stretch out after I work out, but find it strange that my muscles are effected so far beyond the actual work out date. Any clues as of why?

It's a good thing. :) Welcome to FT! t -------------- I see the words you are typing, but all I read is *click*click*click* - One should not lift like a man or a woman, lift like a human.
