any tips that best deal with the soreness after a work out? I take cold showers afterward, anything else? 🤔

Warm down stretches after every workout

Eat well

sleep. water. cold showers might help too.

if you're sore it's working tho. keep it up

the best way to stop gym related soreness is to train consistently

you're the most anabolic when you're consistent. your body will adapt to the volume in a week and you won't feel sore until you either become inconsistent or increase your weekly volume.

stretch,sleep,replenish

don't make the mistake that a lot of people do and skip workouts. this will just prolong your DOMS.

stay consistent on your program, meaning don't skip days but also don't go crazy right out of the gate and add unneeded s***. warm showers and w/e just treat it for a little bit, only time and rest heals DOMS.

keep moving

STAY CONSISTENT AND YOU WOULDNT GET SORE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

dont overtrain, sleep well n start taking bcaa

Bromelain

Doesn't whey or protein in general help with this?

You're going to get DOMS anytime you start back up after a layoff. Just ease into it and be consistent.

active recovery bro keep moving after workouts and get a massage gun and SLEEP is golden

doms go away in like 2 weeks of consistent training

YES THE HIGHER YOUR INTAKE OF PROTEIN THE LESS SORE YOU WILL BE

Stretch a lot
Water

Muscles still confuse me man
I thought it was bad to work the same muscle group before DOMS is finished? And I know DOMS eventually stops, so how do you know you still had a good workout. I used to use DOMS as an indicator but like I said it wears off after a few weeks

Hydration mostly.

Exercise is basically causing microtrauma (little tears and nicks) to the muscles you're working out-- because your muscles are lengthening and are under stress from eccentric movements. When that happens, pain receptors are stimulated and there's a big influx of calcium to your muscles, which causes inflammation.

The are two big myths with DOMS:

1. The degree of soreness is parallel with how hard you worked out a muscle group. This is false. You can do a relatively light leg workout as a beginner and barely be able get out of bed. You can do a heavy, heavy deadlift session and feel like you didn't do anything the next day.

2. That you should base your recovery off your DOMS-- false also because of the reasons listed above.

Always base your recovery off your program, because only YOU know how hard you worked out. Your body doesn't feel much soreness once you consistently work out because your muscles have already adapted to that kind of movement. Which means recovery based off soreness can be very dangerous when you really start lifting heavy.

just send the invoice and i gotchu

what do you mean?

Drink water and do some minor stretches later on.

Also get a good amount of sleep.
