The DOMS Why Soreness Shows Up Late and Why It Stops So Many Fitness Comebacks
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, or DOMS, is one of the most misunderstood parts of starting or restarting a fitness routine. In this blog, I break down why soreness shows up late, what it actually means, and why it is often the moment people abandon their fitness comeback. I also share how I personally use DOMS as motivation to stay consistent and avoid starting over. If you have ever quit because your body felt sore or stiff, this perspective may change how you see training altogether.

McCloskey: A Journey of Strength, Heritage, and Rediscovery
When my health journey began in 2018, I felt disconnected, unsure of my direction, and searching for purpose. I turned to boxing and strength training, focusing on aligning my body and mind. This transformation wasn’t just physical—it led me to reflect on my family’s history and what it means to be a McCloskey. I discovered a legacy of resilience, strength, and pride, which became the foundation for FARMERSTRENGTH™.
The McCloskey name, rooted in the Gaelic Mac Bhloscaidh (meaning “loud” or “resounding”), symbolizes boldness, strength, and leadership. As I dug deeper into my ancestry, I realized that our connection to nature, the land, and overcoming struggle runs deep. FARMERSTRENGTH™ embodies that connection—pride in our roots and strength to face life’s challenges head-on. It’s not just about fitness; it’s about resilience, grit, and nurturing the mind, body, and spirit, just as our ancestors did.
