    Default Unilateral DOMS

    Anyone ever get that?

    My right leg (mostly quad but also groin, ham, glute) was soooper sore for the last 2 days after a squat/deadlift workout. My left leg, not so much except a little groin, ham, glute. I filmed all work sets and nothing was out of the ordinary and my form ain't that bad.

    Top set was 325x5. Total squat reps = 20 in 315-335lb. Vol was high compared to past couple weeks but I've done 335x5x5 and recently a 315x5x5 without much quad soreness.

    Is the fact that it is unilateral significant? Injury?

    It happens. I've also experienced unilateral quad/knee/ham/SI joint pain and DOMS. If it doesn't literally stop you from training, and your form is spot on, just keep going.

    Having said that, I do love to wrap my knees or elbows when they flair up with a bicycle inner tube (cut in half and without stem). Wrap it tight and put the joint through full range of motion a couple times (it may be discomforting) then take the tube off. It makes my joints feel good.
