Hello Ladies,
Well, I'm still here and I have a question. On Thurs. I did PS -Biceps/Back. I loaded up on the weights and had a good workout. I expected to be sore the next day but wasn't. However, the 2nd day I was mildly sore and by the 3rd day I was really sore! How come??
Also, I've been asked for a sample recipe that is vegetarian so here's one. If anyone wants more let me know.

===========================
Moroccan Couscous

1 medium onion, julienned
1 Tbs. vegetable stock
3 cups vegetable stock
2 carrots, julienned
1 zucchini, julienned
1 red bell pepper, julienned
1 orange bell pepper, julienned
1 sweet potato, julienned
1 can chickpeas, drained
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
1/4 tsp. turmeric
1 pinch curry powder
1 pinch saffron
2 cups couscous

Cut all the vegetables into strips.

In large saucepan, saute onion until lightly browned. Add vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Transfer to a large pot and add the carrots and sweet potato. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Lower the heat and add zucchini and peppers. Cook for 20 minutes. Add chickpeas, tomato sauce, and spices. Cook until heated through.

In a seperate pot, bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Add couscous, cover and remove from heat. Let it stand for 5 to 7 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve with the vegetable mixture on top.
 
Good Morning Garth,

I don't have any insight as to why the soreness has increased over the past couple of days. The same thing have happened to me in the past. I'm sure one of the ladies who is knowledgeable about exercise physiology and the like will have an answer for us both.

Great job on your workouts! I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the slow and heavy series and the pure strength series. For some reason I can't wait to do some true strength work and am mildly envious of your soreness b/c it means you had a great workout. I'm sure I'll kick myself for saying that (if I'm not so sore as to not be able to move) after my first workout.

The recipe you put in your post sounds delicious! I love middle easterner/indian type food. I'd really appreciate it if you would send me your recipe book. My email is [email protected]

Thanks and keep up the good work!

I've found that sometimes DOMS is related to my activity levels in the days following a workout. Peak DOMS seems to be around 36 hours (for me). If I move around a lot and don't sit around too much, I'm less sore at 48 hours. If I'm an office potato or couch potato, then the DOMS seems worse.
