Replying to Avatar Tatum Turn Up

Been getting more intense with my strength workouts lately and some days I guess I just go a little harder than others (No specific muscle class, it’s real random) and the soreness catches up to me 2-3 days later that’s damn near immobilizing. This doesn’t happen all too often but I’d say once a week or so. Any tips on relieving excruciating soreness for those days?

And just for context, I’m fine with regular soreness, but like yesterday, I could barely move my arms after a hard push day on Saturday. Last week, my leg day caught up with me 2 days later to the point I could barely walk… Maybe it’s less of tips on relieving soreness and more so tips on doing something better to prevent this?? I’m not even sure if it’s a good or bad thing.

You might be lifting too hard, although soreness two days after legs is quite normal normal.

Make sure you’re getting ample rest.

Get in the habit of stretching before and after if possible. Don’t push your stretching. Ease into it.

Brush scrubs with epsom salts in a warm bath might help move lactic acid build up.

If you are taking in carbs with protein- a high glycemic carb (coke/sugar the top of the worst if you’re stuck and consume such crap, fruit juice, fruits, Gatorade = high. Sweet Potatoes/Yams, plain oatmeal = low) with protein within 45 minutes after workout won’t hurt.

L-Glutamine and BCAA can help with better recovery.

Drink decent amounts of water.

Enjoy the marathon not the sprint.

Some lite cardio might help as others mentioned depending on your goals.

Rest and proper eating help.

Keep going!
