Just started doing deadlifts and squats again after recovering from an injury and have a sore right hammy.
Just wondering what is the consensus on DOMS like this? I'm scheduled for a session today, but should I do it? Work through it or wait for it to heal ?
Just warm-up with exercise, gradually increasing the weight, you'll be right it will go away.
That's if it is muscle ache.

If you can walk you'll be finereally!
Legs feel fine today, I'll work through DOMS from now on
How long can doms go for? And why do you think you get more doms when doing high reps as opposed to low reps heavy weight? Dont get me wrong I actually like doms cause its an indicator I have worked out properly but when it goes on for to long its a pain in the hole.
You are incorrect.
DOMS is an indicator of you not doing enough or you are doing something wrong.
DOMS can be used to an advantage, if one has not done a particular exercise for some time, DOMS will occur, but use can tell which muscle groups have been targeted.
Take a rest from the bench for a month, then go crazy on it, the next day you will know which muscles are moving the bar.
the DOMS is more intense when one does *negative work without the positive portion of the exercise.
*when a partner/s do the positive portion and you lower it.
Don't know why, just is.
You will reach the threshold a lot quicker than with your standard method.
But the pain should always subside after 48 hours.
But it shouldn't stop one from training.
Are you sure about the 48 hours thing? I still have doms and its been awhile. In this case it is my legs. Everytime i do squats after even a week of not lifting i get Doms for a fair amount of time. Much longer than 48 hours.
It also happens with my chest but nothing like my legs.
