Soreness for days after heavy lifting
I just moved up to Phase 2 of New Rules of Lifting For Women. Phase 1 made me sore, usually, the next day. Phase 2 is making me sore for 2-3 days.
I have read conflicting advice, and I wanted to get some insight from the knowledgeable lifting folks that frequent this thread. I would like to maintain my 3 lifting sessions per week, but I have read that continued muscle soreness indicates my muscles have not yet healed.
So is it counterproductive to keep my schedule, regardless of soreness? I am absolutely loving this phase, and would hate to slow it down, but also want to be smart about it.
