ill try to find a couple studies i had that proved the hypothesis that doms is not lactic acid related.
i really like your description of the feeder workouts, i do this myself in the guise of full body, functional training/ core workouts on off days. i feel it helps my recovery, partly i think because its another opportunity for pre/ post nutrition.
I once heard Doms described as "Time spent Healing, NOT supercompensating"
Im not sure of the scientific validity of this, but excessive doms DOES delay further intense training for me. as the game said, the muscles performance tends to be sub par.......
Ive always tried to hit each muscle E5d, and had to manipulate my volume to ensure i was recovered by then, the vol tends to differ depending on stress, gear, sleep levels etc.
what experience have you guys had playing with vol???

I remember doing "feeder workouts" in college. I don't do them anymore but we thought that getting a mild pump going the next day increased blood flow and nutrients to aid the healing muscle. Is there any validity to all that?
What if the soreness is just some lingering byproducts of the exercise itself and not necessarily damaged tissue (i.e. lactic acid)?
Seems as though I can be sore for a week even though I know (or at least I think I know) that that muscle has had enough rest.
I guess there is just no definitive way to tell other than to use your performance as a barometer? Though, I've had shit workouts on days that I felt great, and some days you feel like junk and then you go blow the roof off the gym.
