    Damn, my post didnt make it.

    I do get DOMS sometimes from it, but it could be from the squats as well since I get excited and push harder. And when I am done, I am usually so whipped that I spend 15 minutes in the parking lot just sitting until I drive home.

    Oh look, heavy lifting made me bulky, too!


    No heavy lifting, after losing 23 lbs:

    One month of heavy lifting, 5/3/1 program
    The weight difference from the first to second photo is one pound, and I did ZERO cardio or targeted ab work.

    Maybe Sara can weigh in on if this is even a thing, but with DL i think my problem is that my back is still catching up to my leg strength. I have never gotten DOMS from DLs or felt utterly bone-weary or anything. Last time I DL-ed I pulled a total of 6505 lbs with 75 lifts. And it felt amazing. Yeah, I was exhausted at the end, but I felt great.

    ^^^ this is more my experience. SL has me only doing 1 measly set of 5, but even when I was doing more sets it left me energized and no DOMS to speak of. I'm not saying that I don't struggle on my last rep, but I feel fine afterwards.

    I get utterly exhausted after my sessions. I do between 80 - 95% of my 1RM so its really taxing on the CNS. I also tend to get a lot of 'swole' in my erectors that lasts for days.
