Hey gurus.
Months ago, when i did weights, my muscles most of the time wouldn't ache. Sometimes they would, like hurt when they are touched or when they are flexed.. but the pain would go away after 2 days.
Nowadays, when im doing much heavier weights: e.g. Lat Pulldown 170 pounds, or bench pressing 200 pounds (my heaviest ever).
I seem to ache for much longer.
Like this week. I had a workout on monday. It is thurs night, and i still ache.
Wtf!?
Overtrained?
Do i need creatine or some kind of supplement?

if you've been training for an extended peroid of time, you need a break.
like a week's rest every 8 weeks or so.
think strategic deloading, HST style.

Do i need creatine or some kind of supplement? thats not a sign of overtrained, its a good sign... that means your workout on monday was a shock to your muscles.. so is great... if you want to enhance your recovery rate, glutamine and creatine is the way to go

I usually feel sore for up to 4 days when training chest and 3 days or more with other body parts (legs an exception at max 2 days).
Try to get a 3, 4 or 5 day split. Training different body parts on different days to allow for recovery. i.e Chest on monday and rest it for 1 week while doing legs, arms, back ,shoulders etc... on the other days.
