Sore

[ralphmelton]

I'm feeling very sore today. Particularly my gluteals and the muscles near the shoulderblades whose names I forget. But my legs and lower back also have their soreness to contribute.

On the plus side, this is mostly a good soreness, particularly since it comes with a sense of some achievement. And it really reduces my regrets at not going to kung fu with Willie.

The trapezius muscles?

I thought the trapezius muscles were the ones at the base of the neck. This is between or just under the shoulderblades.

It's awful to have to ache in those places and have only manual labor to blame!

Heck if I know - I took Physiology in grade 11. :)

I took Biology in 9th grade. We had to memorize the muscles of the human body.

I was so fortunate that I was taking Latin at the same time, and could therefore make some sense of the names.

This chart suggests that the trapezius goes down farther than I had realized, so it might be that, but also indicates that it's probably the latissimus dorsi.

The latissimus dorsi!

That was my favorite muscle name EVER, and I'd forgotten it. :)

Thanks! :)
