Best ways to help recover/muscle soreness?
Posted on 1/11/22 at 12:27 pm

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on what they might take for recovery and muscle soreness. I was recently told to try tart cherry juice (concentrate) to help with joint pain/inflammation.
Any tips would be helpful. I am open to natural and/or supplements to help. Thanks!

Honestly I started doing 20 minutes of home yoga a few days/week and that’s helped tremendously. I’ve changed nothing else

Honestly, drinking water, stretching, and staying active work about as well as anything.

If you've been out of the game a while there isn't much to help DOMS except three or so days of struggling to sit/stand/move.

Workout more often. It'll pass.
I took a couple months off and just started back up and can barely move too.

The best is day two of DOMS after starting squats again and being tempted to shite standing up because getting on and off the toilet feels like getting beaten with pipes.

I have always been on and off with yoga but I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that I need to implement that and stretching a LOT more.

What is this? I'm guessing MS is muscle soreness...?

pro tip: Reducing inflammation with things like ice, ibuprofen, etc. can actually hinder hypertrophy, so try to avoid that stuff.
Important factors:
1. Hydration
2. Adequate nutrition (particularly protein)
3. SLEEP
4. Stretching (AFTER)
Supplements that have been shown to help:
1. ZMA (zinc + magnesium) at night
2. creatine before/after workout
3. BCAAs during/after workout

Getting enough sleep is probably the biggest one. Going on walks help. Do a recovery workout. As in, do enough to move blood in the muscles, but don’t load up and just tear yourself down more. Get a “pump” I guess is another way to say it. And finally, and probably just as important as sleep, eat properly.
ETA: Oh, drink water and limit alcohol.

Staying active to keep the blood pumping. I found that the greyskull homework (push ups, chins, and walks throughout the day) is a great add to any program. Another way of doing it is getting some bands and doing 3 15 minute band workouts throughout the day on off days

Thanks everyone for the natural (water/sleep/active recovery such as walking) and supplement (BCAA/creatine) remedies.
Obviously keep'em coming if anyone else has anymore.
