Greg, I have recently experienced DOMS in my lower back after I think too many KB swings, 35/40. I am 78 and one year ago had a successful double knee replacement. Thanks to “Kettelbelling” I have made a perfect recovery. Now trying to keep in shape and loose a few pounds.
I believe KB is the perfect way to exercise.
Thanks, JIM

In reply to lewelen. I found a physiotherapist to be very helpful in identifying what was going on with my muscle pain when I first started working out. It wasn't DOMS, but something like yours (one side only, painful during certain movements).

“For example: Kettlebell Swings, Single Leg Deadlifts, and Lunges would be a heavy hamstring workout for any beginner.”

In reply to lewelen. Without seeing you personally and knowing exactly what you have been doing and how you move it is hard for me to say. I recommend you break down your exercises into different days and try to establish exactly what exercise is causing the problem. You may want to go and see a sports massage therapist too to help with the issue. Best of luck.

I seem to regularly have a very sore muscle issue behind my right shoulder blade area after doing my KB workout. To the degree that even bending over the next day I have to be very careful or it ‘bites’ me.
What am I doing wrong?

I’ve doing the hip exercise for a few months now and it has really helped me. My hips are tight but slowly they are feeling stronger and more flexible. Also, my knees hurt a lo less.

Ive been doing you kettlebell workouts and I love them. Thanks for being such a great trainer and explaing everything so well.

My thigh and butt have been in pain since my KB workout… painful while trying to sit or get up. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not.

Pretty much all the exercises you have mentioned took about 3-4 days to come good

Worst DOMS for me came from barbell segment deadlifts – pause off the floor, at the knee, then to the top. Hamstrings and glutes howling for days.

Hi Gregg
I get DOMS at my xyphoid process sometimes after the kb snatch.I have a history of a chest muscle soreness from push ups or lifting a heavy object over my head. Have had stress tests, ekg, echo, etc.with no real problems.(age 69). I find that magnesium oil locally especially when I go to bed seems to help.
Love your workouts. Been doing them over a year now. I have NEVER stayed with an exercise program this long. THANK YOU !!
