Hey, I've been having really bad problems with getting my back sore by the next day or two or more. I have been doing barbell bent rows for my back with a shoulder width grip. 5 sets of 10 reps. My brothers do seated pully rowing with the parallel grip and they both said their back really burns whenever they do them, I've tried it many times and never feel like my back is getting worked, not even sore a little the next day. I do a split routine with alternating my lower and upperbody on different days. So each part has a chance to rest. My book "arnold: the education of a bodybuilder, in their, arnold quotes that soreness is a sign you are reaching your muscles and that you let them know they need to grow to handle the stress you just put them through. If i don't work my back out for a whole week, then I work it out(with bb rowing)doing 5 sets of 10, it gets really sore for 3 days at least and I can't even doing my military presses without feeling really sore. Doing barbell rows. i'm doing it exactly the way arnold describes in his book, i thought. It's just not even feeling like it's getting a workout or even giving me some idea that it's gotten a good workout the next day or two. I just don't get how my brothers are getting sore the next day everytime when they work their back(they do the same split routine i do) and I don't. It's really getting me depressed. Hope I explained this well, just could really use some help.

soreness/stiffness is good, pain is bad.
Theres many ways to prevent excessive soreness -- proper stretching pre/post workout, proper hydration pre/intra/post as well as all day in gneral, protein/vitamin supplementation will help, and warming up/cooling down before and after a workout correctly will help alot.

Originally posted by timberwolfMay seem blasphemous to contradict Arnie, but soreness is IMO far from necessary in terms of indicating whether your workout would induce hypertrophy or not. More important is: are your weights and/or reps increasing? If you still insist on getting sore...experiment with different reps/ sets as well as different exercises too in the future. Try intensity techniques such as drop sets, supersets, rest/ pause or eccentrics (always great for inducing DOMS.)Last edited by Starless_Eyes; 06-21-2008, 12:08 PM.
