do you findits easier to get doms in some places than others?
i seem to get doms in calves most often. recently i discovered alternating side lunges. yowya! but i cant ever seem to get it in the quads. which is where i want it to be. i guess somewhere in there is chiseled muscle.
 
I TOTALLY get it in my butt & hamstrings, especially where the two meet (I think it's called the insertion point?? is that right personal trainer people?)! Also I get it in my chest since I don't work it as often as I should. Now that you mention it.... I haven't noticed as much in my quads. Now I have to pay closer attention to where I get it.

when i work my arms, not really a focus, i get doms there too. i havent pushed really hard, so its only been short term that night or maybe 1,2 days max.
cathe does this ex. in L&G. like a bridge, but your feet are elevated. had to work up to that one. that will bring on the doms in the hams.
i do alot of squats and exercises that work the quads. its improved alot, but like everything, takes time. kinda wish i knew a super w/o that give quads doms lol.
 
I have not done a workout in a LONG time that created any noticeable DOMS, I have been doing all lighter/moderate weight dvds like KCM since I started the Turbo Fire rotations (in week 10 of 12). I'm probably going to be upping my weights again after a few weeks. Maybe I'll bust out gym styles again, I think those are the dvds that first got me super excited about Cathe and her style of dvds.

But from what I remember, hamstrings are the easiest for me to get doms, quads are harder, but achievable with very heavy weights, biceps and chest with heavy weights I can really feel too, shoulders, never, back and triceps rarely. And I agree, I rarely work my calves intentionally, but when I do, it creates the worst doms ever, like can't walk kind of pain.
 
yup! last 2 days hardly walking around, it just hurts. but the more i walk the better, stretched out it is. prob. shouldnt have been jumping when they were hurting from the day before, doh! still i generally have a goal of getting doms somewhere, just annoying this time. just keep telling myself...those are going to be calves of steel soon.
