Really sore legs

Yes, obviously you have to eat right. Nutrition is definitely a big part of it. But soreness means that you're doing the workout part right.

 

I haven't had muscle sorness for a long time, but I've been getting much bigger and stronger.

You need to stop believing the bodybuilder bull****.

 

What I used to do when I got sore, rather than wait it out resting. I would go back into the gym like normal and continued to workout like nothing ever happened until the soreness went away.
I always found, that by doing this I only made my muscles stronger and more resistant to soreness.
Most people don't recommend doing this, but it worked for me.

 

You should always train, even if you're a bit sore. Most use soreness as an excuse to drop a day.

 

Exactly.

 

Even when im sore, just jogging or skipping for a little over 2 minutes as a warm up pretty much gets rid of it till your done working out.

 

I don't think soreness is a perfect indicator of getting stronger, but it definately has to do with getting in shape. It's a great indicator.

During the track season I always wreck myself with soreness in the first few weeks, but by the end of the season I'm doing the same workouts at faster paces/longer distances, and yet my recovery is faster. It's not a muscle size/strength thing, it's a muscle recovery thing.

And muscle recovery is excellent for boxers :good

 

Soreness and PAIN are different.
