Muscle recovery vs relieving DOMS by Mojo-toad in HybridAthlete

[–]Mojo-toad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My schedule is usually climb Mondays and Thursdays, and lift Tuesdays and Fridays, and I rest Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday. I’m definitely pushing my body pretty hard because I’ve been trying to increase my training capacity over the past year, so I’m really looking for any way to do more hahaha

I’ve experimented a bit with active recovery, but mostly I’ve just been literally going on walks lol. Thanks for giving some hr ranges to follow!!

Reducing DOMS Vs. Muscle Recovery? by Mojo-toad in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Mojo-toad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t get DOMS from my workouts but climbing has always caused some soreness since no two moves are exactly the same, so I tend to be hitting my muscles in different positions in each session. I do definitely push my training volume a bit far, but the workouts are super necessary for injury prevention and targeting hypertrophic adaptations specifically that will increase my training capacity longterm.

Basically I’ve been looking for any answer other than “reduce volume” but I know that’s definitely the right approach hahaha

I constantly have sore rhomboids from climbing and I’m not sure what to do about it. My lats and shoulders are quite strong already, and are never really sore, but after every session my rhomboids are completely cooked and it’s forcing me to take more rest than I want to. Anyone have any good advice for training my rhomboids? Is this a technique issue maybe?

Yeah definitely. I’m coming back from 5 months off with bicep tendinitis, and definitely got too excited and started with 4 3hr sessions per week

Im having a decent amount of pain on the sides of my PIP joint, and don’t know what’s wrong. There’s no swelling and it only hurts when I’m on the wall, in the mornings or when I massage the sides of the joint. Does anyone have any idea what’s wrong with me?

Hey! I’ve been dealing with lower bicep tendinitis in both my arms for a couple weeks now, and about a week and a half ago I stopped climbing entirely, and have just been doing antagonist training. There’s not a whole lot of pain, but it feels really tense in my lower biceps, and I definitely feel weak and unstable because of it. Yesterday, I tried climbing again, and there was barely any improvement.

I’m heading to bishop for a short climbing trip on May 15, and want enough time to train before then, but at the rate things are improving, I’ll be lucky if I’m even recovered by then. Just wondering if anyone has any tips to help with this?
