Have been out of the gym for awhile and I recently signed up at a new gym. Went in to try everything and see where I was at on weights. I did only three sets on what I could do, legs, arms, chest. Got a little more than I could bargain for and had to come down on weight. Even got on the treadmill and ran 2 miles. Today, Im sore as hell, cant even move hardly. But Im wanting to go back in tomorrow morning. Ive already taken a whole day off, making me feel worthless... Thinking I need to push myself in when I get up.

Start incorporating some active recovery work... Stretch, foam roll, ice bath, car buffer, more stretching....

Some supps that will help:
Creatine (always use creatine!)
Glutamine
Fish oil

Drink tons of water

Eat plenty of protein (1g per lb of BW)

Take naproxen if its that bad... But get back in there and keep going. You'll get conditioned to it. After some warm up sets the soreness will decrease a bit.

I got back in there this morning. Stretched and got with it! Did my workout till I couldnt do no more, then ran a 1.5 mile run and took a ice bath. But, really quick. Feel good right now. Thanks man! oh and I picked up some fish oil and I have creatine from gnc

stop going to GNC

the foam roller and ice baths are very beneficial...POB hit the nail on the head.

What is foam roller and car buffer?

They really are a must-have, particularly if you, like most of us, can't afford regular deep tissue massage.

What is foam roller and car buffer?

The car buffer is just that. A buffer for polishing the car. I use a black and decker WP900 but any 6 inch disk buffer will do. Use it as a massage tool.
