What are some reasons that an exercise can cause ridiculous DOMS every time you do it?
I'm doing RDLs on my blast and every time I do them, my hamstrings are sore for close to a week afterwards. It's not that I have untrained hamstrings, or even that its a new movement. They're an exercise that I cycle in and out of my training all the time, but it's almost like my hamstrings never adapt to them. What confuses me more is that exercises with a similar movement pattern, like good mornings, don't make me very sore at all, even when performed with the same intensity. Its also not a DC thing, as RDLs have always murdered my hamstrings like this, regardless of weight (unless they were just super light, obviously), reps, or nearness to failure. I also don't think it's a problem with them taxing my system too much, as i deadlift 605 and have repped 405x15 without near this degree of soreness.
Has anything similar happened to you with RDLs or another exercise, and what could be causing it?
