DOMS

[TMillzy]

Sup y'all

I have this thing about DOMS. We all know it sucks ass. I think sometimes it prevents me from going balls deep in my training. The worst muscles for me are biceps, and hamstrings. When I really get after these two muscles sometimes I get DOMS worse than usual. I know nutrition plays a part. When I train hard afterwards I take protein then simple carbs after that, and casein at night and my soreness goes down. Now I've been lifting consistently since the top of the year but I really can't stand the intense soreness I get occasionally. Last time I did hamstrings i was limping for 4 days. I know that's not normal. What are some precautions y'all take to prevent/reduce soreness

I get them from legs, for a few days. Im not sure what I could improve tbh. I hit my macros (220 protein or close enuff daily), take a ton of bcaa's and do light cardio after my leg session which is suppose to alleviate it. Nothing has really helped so far..

Doing some research, besides the things i already posted...Its recommended to do leg day twice a week to get your body more used to it.

Wouldn't work for me tho, that interfere too much with cardio but you can give it a shot

Get warmed up and stretch before and AFTER. Hell, if you aint doing shyt in the middle of the day, stretch. Works for me

The day after leg day is a bytch though

I take back everything I said breh, I feel great today

For the last couple of weeks, ive been doing the things I mentioned (hitting macros,xtend, cardio afterwards) with no decrease in soreness. This week I did it after a great leg day with the sole difference of substituting my protein with isoflex

Isoflex

can finally do HIIT again

i had doms on my lats and delts so bad today i even had trouble doing curls

I've been absolutely abusing my upper body muscles and I don't get sore. Makes me think I'm not getting it in correctly

But lower body...

Sore all the time if I go as little as a week without working it out.
