Is that right?

:confused: Hey all, just a quick question....I did a shoulder work out yesterday, and today my lats are so sore. Is that right? Mind you it's been awhile since I've worked out, so I'm assuming I'm so out of shape that everything in a state of shock! I'm also pretty sure I had good form. But I just want to be sure its normal and I didn't do something wrong! Thanks in advance :D
 
What exercises did you perform?
 
I did (I hope I say this right) military press with dumbeles and the machine, and also with the dumbells front and side raises. 4sets/10reps each exercise.
 
Have you done a back workout recently or was this your first workout ?? To be honest, I don't see your lats getting real sore from those exercises. Just my thoughts.
 
Lats are sore? Could be from movement in general or core work... but that is a bit unusual for those mucles to be sore after a shoulder workout using those exercises. As jpc1058 said... did you do a back or core workout recently.

Sometimes people get sore 2 days after a workout as opposed to the very next day.

And just to double check... you know lats are the muscles that run down the sides of your back, right? The trapezius muscle runs from the neck area down into the middle of the back... so that could be where the soreness is coming from.
 
Yes I'am sure its my lats, I checked with my husband before I asked (LOL) I actually was sore that night! The only other thing I did that morning was a jog/sprints. I lightly jogged for a min then ran for a min for about 15min., I was ill after the cardio. Does this help?
 
Ill as in puked? If so, you're going too hard too soon on the HIIT cardio. Try easing it up a bit. Not sure where the lat issue is coming from though. Keep an eye on it and let us know :confused:
 
I didn't puke, I think if I kept going I would of over done it. I thank you TL for helping me out, and I'll keep everyone posted what happens next time I do shoulders.
 
your back stabilisers everything (scapula belt etc) when the shoulder is involved...it doesn't get used in everyday life activities either so it wood have a been a bit of shock to him like u said
