Fuck this shit sucks I got T rex arms. How do I ease the pain or make this go by faster?
>>36682432
stretch before, drink more water, buy some recovery shit too also taking a hot bath helps me
Glorious DOMS, it will go away after a few weeks.
rhabdo?

Thanks, hopefully it doesn't take weeks. About to go dwell in hot water.
>>36682447
Can I still lift and run with DOMS? It's lighting up my thighs like fucking hell.
>>36682432
I'll see you in Valhalla, little goat. :(
>>36682584
Goats don't go to Valhalla, bro. Unless they're going to be eaten..

DOMS is caused by the lactic acid build-up that comes from lifting heavy things. Any kind of cardiovascular exercise breaks down the lactic acid, making DOMS far less noticeable.
If you can, do your running towards the end of your session. You'll likely feel a whole lot less shit.
>>36682432
The best thing you can do is wait a day then do another workout. I'm serious. After a few warm up sets DOMS will reduce dramatically. By the time you're done they'll be pretty much gone and won't come back until you take another fucking 8 years off.

That's not true you memer
>the pain is ultimately thought to be a result of microtrauma – mechanical damage at a very small scale – to the muscles being exercised.
Sleep tight, goater

This, do some light work on them to flush out the doms.
Some ibuprofen should help too.

Kek, I had this happen to me. I couldn't sleep the next day, by the second day I could stretch my arms about 80%. Still went to the gym though, fuck that I'm ain't quitting
GOAT GET YE GONE

When you work out for the first time in a long time the sornes is always pretty bad but it will go away and the next time it will be better.
Also antioxidants help but only if you eat/take them regularly.

When I came back to lifting after 6 months, the pain in my legs was crazy. So bloody sore I couldn't sit properly. I slowly stretched them out, and I found warm showers helped. Also, short walks (active recovery) really did wonders, but in small doses.
The pain starts to get progressively less after each workout, until you only feel it if you do something crazy like breather squats.
Every workout I do I'm chasing after DOMS. I love that shit, its like I can feel myself making it
>>36682432
haha stupid goat
>>36682432
Maybe next time your workout should consist of something other than just curls.
>>36682620
Heiðrun, motherfucker.
OP, don't hurt the goat pls. Goats are my friends.
>>36682432

Golly gosh, anon. Seems as though the lactic acid theory is indeed a little outdated. It's what I was taught in school a while back, so please forgive my indiscretion!
OP if you notice your piss starts to smell badly, or looks dark (like coca cola or well steeped tea) go to the hospital. You have rhabdo.
