Quad Eccentric Soreness Dosage Cap
Quad eccentric soreness dosage cap limits new eccentric work—downhill miles, step-downs, Nordics—to ten to twenty percent weekly volume increases when DOMS limits stairs.
Quad eccentric soreness dosage cap limits new eccentric work—downhill miles, step-downs, Nordics—to ten to twenty percent weekly volume increases when DOMS limits stairs. Two soreness peaks in one week often mean dosage doubled too fast.
Hold cap until stair descent is pain-free and RPE normalizes. Sleep and protein support adaptation; more eccentrics do not accelerate it.
Common questions
-
How fast should you add downhill training?
Ten to twenty percent weekly vertical or eccentric rep increases are common safe ramps. Functional stairs and sleep matter more than chasing one big descent weekend.
