How to reduce muscle soreness

[#1Assassin]

Sup fellas?

Basicly we had a real rough workout focusing on the legs on monday, and my legs still hurt. its summer so we only train as a group on mon, wed, and friday. i usually workout by myself the atleast twice a week, but thats not the point though.

the point is we had rough workout, then yesterday i was just gonna chill. but instead i had a spliff and some beer and decided theres no harm in a little basketball. but as soon as i wasnt high no more my legs started hurting like hell after playing ball after already aching from training the day before. i could barely walk.

now is wednesday, another day of training and i have to plus really want to go. any way to reduce the muscle soreness before my practise in a little over 4 hours? i realize i cant make it go away, but just reduce it so i can go work my hands in the gym.

thanks in advance.

should take some caesin protein before bed which digests slowly while you recover during your sleep. You should take it with BCAA (branched chain amino acids). Here is a link to what BCAA's do: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/inmag13.htm

Hope this helps.

hot shower every three hours.

Make sure you stretch and cool down properly after working out.

Make sure you're eating enough carbs and protein to recover.

Possibly take a glutamine supplement.


Actually, I just read you have 4 hours - take a long, hot bath after stretching lightly. Give yourself a light massage in the bath or just after. When you go to training or w/e it is you're doing make sure youre thoroughly warmed up and stretched. Thats about the best you can do.

stretch, eat good food, and sleep.

take it easy..if you're so sore that you don't have energy to workout then take it lightly and slowly build up...

Keep working out till you're used to it and sucking it up. Real talk...

Spoken like a champ.


Although a few cool down exercises/stretches (simple jog on the spot) after a workout can also be quiet usefull.
