Comments on: Is It DOMS? Or Is It Muscle Strain? http://www.girlwithnoname.com/2010/02/is-it-doms-or-is-it-muscle-strain/ I work hard at health, fitness & nutrition. I work out primarily at home and share with you what I do, how I do it, what motivates me & what inspires me. I get into the nitty gritty of my trials & tribulations, barriers & obstacles. And when I realize a success, hard-won or otherwise, you'll be the first to know about it!

Ok, cool. Yah, I have a hard time with taking time off, especially if I can get away with an ALTERNATE exercise I'd do that rather than slack it (in this case running didn't cause further pain).

Wasn't trying to diagnose you. That is what I do. It's a timing thing. DOMS usually only lasts for a day or two. If it nags beyond that, I assume that it's a strain. Being on one side, if it were me, I'd lean towards the strain, and backing off. My bad. Wasn’t trying to diagnose you. That is what I do. It’s a timing thing.

And it feels better when I exercise it as long as I don't work it too hard. I figure if it lasts more than a couple days, I've strained it so I take it easy on it. If it's better in a couple days, it was DOMS. I’ve done the same thing… one side sore when theoretically it should have been both and sometimes not even knowing what did it.

I wasn't actually asking you to diagnose ME, I was asking YOU how YOU tell on YOU when you've strained something or if it's just DOMS. I don't need a couple of days off... it's not bad enough for that. :-) J thanks for that Todd.

I'm not sure that you can tell right off the bat like that. It's possible that you strained a muscle. It only being on the one side is interesting, especially with an exercise like deads. I'd take a couple days off, and see how it feels. That’s a very good question. I’m not sure that you can tell right off the bat like that. It’s possible that you strained a muscle.
