A member asked:

What is causing the soreness of muscle the day after lifting? does soreness means i over trained?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weight Lifting: Soreness can be the result of over training but also mild soreness can result with you first begin training or when you change your routine and work different muscles. If you have questions consult an exercise physiologist. Best wishes.
