Everytime I start lifting, I stop

    I like the feeling of sore muscles, the old sore today strong tomorrow saying an all, I also get disjointed if I'm not sore, tells me I'm not really pushing myself. I'm never so sore I don't want to work out though, so I don't mean injuring yourself, most people train different muscle groups on different days and that usually spreads out the soreness rather than provoking its wrath :)

    I lift 5-6 days a week. You need to lift even on the days you are sore. You don't have to lift to heavy, but your muscle fibers will respond better. Are you drinking your BCAA's while lifting? Are you drinking glutamine with ur whey protein after lifting?

    Soreness is a good thing. Water, rest, glutamine, and walk it out. I am always sore and I love it!

    BCAAs and glutamine are just amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. If you eat enough protein there's no need to worry about supplementing with BCAA or glutamine, since protein already has them.

    BCAA's = Branched chain amino acids. A subset of "essential" amino acids, as we can't make them ourselves - we have to get them from food. Animal protein has plenty of them, but vegetarians need to eat protein from a variety of sources to make sure they get enough. I'm not convinced they'd do anything for DOMS, but if you feel like they help, go for it.
