What is your guys opinion. Do you still sprint 100% when you’re sore. Right now my adductors are very very sore as most of my lower body.
What do you guys think? Sprint or not sprint?
What I would be doing would be just 10s, 20s, and 30s.
Thanks
error on the side of caution
Cancel the session if you are too sore and tired. That means that you have not recovered from your previous session.
By a long way!
What would you achieve if sprint training in this state? Get faster? No! Risk an injury? Yes!
Play it safe!
If you are sore - it means you have not recovered completey from previous workouts - one idea is to do a light tempo session to try and loosen up, and than make an executive decision.
I agree with everyone else. I’d just add this piece.
What are you doing for recovery?
Post workout stretch?
Protein supplements?
Icing?
An ounce of prevention is more than a pound of cure!
foam rolling 2-3x a week, contrast shower pretty much nightly, don’t really stretch post workout. take whey protein daily, and do not ice.
training your muscle in extension so your muscles dont constrict during fatigue or injury.
like what kind of sore? just sore muscles? I have sore muscles sometimes, sore ham, calves, quads, and i train at 100% and ALWAYS have felt better the next day by a long shot. This includes a complete warm up/warm down, post meals, stretching, icing, supplementing, contrasting.
I seem to be going in the opposite direction as everyone else, but this is just from my own personal experience. and again, im only talking mild inflamation here, no tears, no sprains… what does everyone think of this?
But i mean, taking a day off to ice, stretch, light tempo, and relax would be a great idea. RICE in other words
don’t quite understand this concept,…share?
My question is why are his Adductors particularly sore?
im kind of wondering the same thing no23. i play ball alot, but still not for sure why my adductors are always the worst.
Ahh ha!!
Ball - Soccer?
Could be running, twisting (cutting) or kicking - all involve alot of additional adductor work
Smarrs thats a freaky ass avatar lol.
when muscle is fatigued or injured it contracts involuntarily, it is a built in protective mechanism. but like many of the mechanisms built to protect the human body(inhibiton of complete motor unit pool recruitment, stretch and tension sensors) it is not beneficial to athletics. elongated muscle is healthy muscle as the saying goes lengthening is strengthining. elongated muscle is more capable of absorbing force, the more force you can absorb the more you can put out and the less likly you will become injured. anyway, by training your muscle in extension your are effectivly reprogramming your system to while fatigued or injured to remain elongated. for example each set of work can be followed by the target muscle complex under elongation and duress. this is important you are not simply stretching your muscle after using it you are recruiting the muscle in the elongated postion or greatest joint angle.
