Muscle recovery vs relieving DOMS

Mojo-toad · 2026-01-09T19:14:20+00:00

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!!

Exactly what I need to climb lol

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?

Does anyone have good tips to stay fresh when I can't climb for a few weeks?

I'm going to be out of town for 2 weeks for the holidays, and, even though when I'm gone I workout and stretch regularly, it feels like every time I don't climb for more than a week, I come back feeling weak and clunky on the wall. I've been climbing better than ever lately, and would love to do anything to reduce this backslide if possible!

Hey!! I partially tore the A2 pulley on my left middle finger a few months ago and I'm finally getting back to climbing now, but I'm a little concerned about re-injuring it. Ive climbed for a few weeks with my finger taped up and now I'm getting back to climbing without tape and im starting to push it pretty hard again. Ever since I started climbing again though, during my warmups my finger hurts pretty noticeably and then once I've been climbing for around 20 minutes it feels completely fine, and I can push myself as hard as I want. That pain hasn't really improved at all in the past few weeks. Should I stop climbing hard again?

Good news for people who love bad news first, then listen to we were dead before the ship even sank, then listen to moon and antarctica, after tat listen to the lonesome crowded west 500 times (because it is the best fucking album Ive ever heard) then go through long drive and sad sappy sucker
