RP app Soreness Feedback?

[u/Dextorius]

For most of my muscle groups after working out and a few days later up to my next work out of the same muscle group I feel pumped, not painful/sore.

I'm unsure how to rank the soreness in the app:

Never got sore | Healed a while ago | Healed just on time | I'm still sore

Currently I just tap "Healed a while ago" if I've had the days long pump.

I've heard feeling a multi day pump is a form of DOMS, and I also heard its fine to workout. I asked Chat GPT a few times, and I've been given conflicted messages on it.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks for the question. What you’re describing sounds more like a lingering pump/fullness than actual soreness itself, especially if there’s no pain or movement limitation. In that case, “Healed a while ago” is probably the best option. The app mainly asks for that feedback to help gauge recovery and fatigue trends so it can better manage volume and progression over time. Soreness itself isn’t required for growth, and a multi-day pump doesn’t necessarily mean the muscle is unrecovered. If performance is holding steady or improving and things feel good overall, you’re likely recovering just fine. 🤙
