Training with prior DOMS can be a sore subject, pun intended. Many are not sure if it’s okay to do or not, and the reality is that it depends. If your soreness is relieved by your typical warm-up, you’re probably good to go. However, if you’re still feeling the last workout’s DOMS after your warm-up, you have a decision to make. Try a few more warm-up sets and see if that helps. If so, go ahead and train but take your time ramping up the weights. If that doesn’t help, take another day off for that muscle group before training again. Better safe than sorry, as training with soreness can affect movement patterns and may lead to injury.
