Great Article.. I've ALWAYS heard this, but never truly understood..it has actually discouraged me from starting a workout regime in the past, because I KNEW I would see an increase, and I KNEW I could not take that discouragement at that time.. To hear it from a good source, and to know it does go away after about 2 weeks, that helps..I'll hang onto that knowledge.. THANKS0

Thank you for posting this, very helpful! I'm a week and a half in to getting back into my strength training....sore as all heck! And was actually feeling like I gained weight but resisted the urge to jump on the scale knowing that if I saw too much of a jump I would be discouraged. This article was a great motivator to help me hang in there!!!!!!0

Thanks for posting this. I'll share as well. I started standing more at work (at least 50 % of my 12hr shifts). In addition, I've been using my breaks for short little walks. Well, the scale hasnt budged for a month or two, but that's okay. i feel better; I have increased stamina, I can feel the adaptation that the muscles in my legs have made. So, no "strenuous" exercise yet- just very small alterations in lifestyle - and my body is doing amazing things. Sure, I would love to excercise more (and I will). But for now this is working, even if the scale doesn't tell me so. 8o)0

Delayed muscle onset soreness (DMOS) is still a work in progress as far as most credible research I have read concludes. One of the basic agreements seems to be muscle tearing primarily created by the eccentric movement of a repetition. However, from a personal training standpoint, my clients experience this after almost every workout session we do regardless of their personal fitness level or length of time they have been training. As a trainer I feel it is my job to make sure everyone is challenged to their fullest potential. We do this by recording their accomplishments and making sure that a progressive plan is incorporated into their future sessions. As a result of the experiences with clients, I would have to dispute a noticeable and sustained weight gain associated with DOMS because none of that occurs with my client base which includes all age groups and both genders.0
