Best way to prevent soreness from workout?
Get you some of that free pizza. Seriously, very short workout and very light weight. Even if you feel stronger, resist the temptation. I wouldn't even do bicep curls or you'll find it hard to wipe your arse when the DOMS set in.

Soreness level is inversely proportional to the loudness of your grunting during lifts. If you don't understand that, simplified, it means, the louder you grunt, the less sore you will be.
You're welcome.

No matter which part of me is sore, I always feel better after I soak it in cider.

Hitting the gym tonight for the first time in months. What is the most effective way to minimize eventual soreness?
I've never really been successful in this endeavor, either. I've never been much of a stretcher, although some post-workout stretching (when you're warm) is much more effective and safer than stretches done before (which is just a bad idea, generally).
Definitely want to focus on hydration and nutrition. Eating the right things and not working out dehydrated seem to accelerate my overall recovery, but that acute, "just getting back into it" soreness always happens for me, no matter what.

I miss the soreness. The soreness is physical feeling of making progress.
Yeah - but I'm old. I know the good soreness from the bad soreness. The "good" soreness is that feeling almost immediately after a successful workout - you're at your target weights, maybe not failure, but you're doing what you can do and you feel the progress.
"Bad" soreness is the morning after DOMS that makes you feel miserable and not want to work out. I think the OP is trying to avoid that, particularly when you take everything he said in context.

Man I love being sore after a workout. It makes me feel like I did something right. I can't remember the last time I got sore from going to the gym. I can stay in there all day and the next day I am fine.

There's a difference in feeling the workout you did the next day and the pain you feel after not doing squats for 10 years then doing a legit session in the squat rack.
Being sore is one thing. Seeing the curb in the parking lot from 20' away and having to game plan how you are going to get your leg up 4" to make the step without falling down or crying is a totally different soreness

Hydration, stretching, epsom salt baths.

This is the right approach. Although as a side note I don't get the middle aged folk who go so hard that they can barely move the next day, especially the "leg day isn't successful unless I need to hold on to the wall to walk out of the gym" people. Even professional athletes don't train like this. Of course those folks inevitably get injured from over trainning.

DOMS is an indication that the workout is effective. Immediate pain while working out means to stop what you are doing.
DOMS is going to happen whenever restarting a routine after a layoff. The important thing is to do the next scheduled workout, you will feel much better afterwards.

Agree with the suggestions on hydration and stretching. Stretching obviously needs to have some thought behind it as there is a big difference between those people that know how to stretch properly and those that just do a few things they remember from PE when they were a kid.
I tried the epsom salt bath for the 1st time recently. It was after a really intense workout so I was still pretty sore the next day. I was light headed and felt weak after the bath, which is normal from the little I read about it. I didn't put any other stuff in the bath that some recommended (such as baking soda?) and curious if anyone has any further thoughts on this topic.

No way around doms! Just fight thru it. It's muscle trauma...
