Workout Soreness

[zippman]

Regarding the following workout schedule, am I working out too much, not enough, or does this seem reasonable?

My workout schedule is as follows:
Day 1: - Chest, Back
Day 2: - Legs, Calves, Abs
Day 3: - Shoulders, Tris, Biceps
Day 4: - Rest
Day 5: - Chest, Back
Day 6: - Legs, Calves, Abs
Day 7: - Shoulders, Tris, Biceps
Day 8: - Rest
Day 9: - Rest

I ask this question due to the fact that I am sore for at least two days after my respecitve workout; i.e., after I complete Day 1 workout, my chest, back and abs are sore for at least two days after. I've been doing this schedule for at least two months now and it's hard to believe I can still be sore. Is this normal? Am I working out too much, or is this enough? Also, are there any supplements that can aid in healing the soreness?

Hey Zipp.

The routine looks pretty good, it's basically what I do and it works very well for me (I also switch routines every 3 -4 weeks). I am....well, I guess I would have to describe it as mildly uncomfortable, but it’s a deep type of pain that feels AWESOME. I don’t feel this when on D-bol + because it makes me recover super quick for some reason and I miss it.

There probably are many ways to slightly ease the pain….. Amino acid liquid + Omega fats immediately after your work out. Maybe you could add some Glucosamine and carbs depending on your goals (carbs). Of course that is with the rest of your post work out food supplement regimen.

I personally would not recommend Advil or any other anti-inflammatory unless it’s to an agonizing degree or it affects your daily life.

hey that looks like a great workout... i do a very similar workout to that also... but as i always believe.. if u're making improvements every workout, may it be number of reps or weight lifted... then its perfectly fine... but if you feel that the soreness is actually holding you back from giving your max effort.. then maybe you should rearraged the workout.. or take more rest days... and as long as that burnt out feeling doesn't hit you, you're doing great

It looks like a great routine, what are you total sets and reps? You can either cut down on sets, or add more rest days if the soreness becomes a problem..
