can someone tell me why after i workout im sore for like 5 days straight.
this usually happens in my chest and legs
my back gets it too but i have to workout hard and it only lasts like 3 days,
but smaller muscles are only sore for like a day or two
Can someone tell me why people make threads here that could be easily explained if the poster were to literally do a quick google search, much less search across T-Nation articles/forums?
The world may never know.

yes
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the pain and stiffness felt in muscles several hours to days after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise.
The soreness is felt most strongly 24 to 72 hours after the exercise.: 63 It is thought to be caused by eccentric (lengthening) exercise, which causes small-scale damage (microtrauma) to the muscle fibers. After such exercise, the muscle adapts rapidly to prevent muscle damage, and thereby soreness, if the exercise is repeated.: 76

took a whole 2 seconds to type DOMS into google.
