I think he means how to avois sore muscles after working out. As I understand ity, the reason your muscles hurt is because of lactic acid buildup. As you work out your muscles, they get tiny tears in them and lactic acid builds up. I dont know if there is anything you can really do to avoid them, other than stretching before and after your workout and maybe rubbing the muscles down a bit once they start to hurt. Oh and take a couple of asprins.
I'm sure there are others on the site that are more knowledgable than I on the subject.

Train with sore muscles, i find if you get a decent burn going your muscles are getting harder rather than bigger. If that makes sense.

do take a cold or hot shower right after the training is going to stop the hurt

Warm shower will keep your blood flowing at a nice rate which will help the process of healing. Make sure to eat a lot after weight lifting. Make sure to eat a lot of healthy food all the time. Working out and boxing burns a **** loud of calories, that's why I don't get why half the people here starve themselves. It's just slowing down their metabolism.

Sore muscles point to two things:

1. You're not in good shape yet. If you're sore after EVERY workout/all the time, you need to back off a little if it's been going on for more than a week.

2. Improper diet. If you don't get enough food, or eat crap, your body won't be able to recover properly.


Forget pre-workout stretching, it may negatively impact performance by lowering force production and causing tendon slack, and doesn't protect against injuries.
