Getting some DOMS. I have never really had DOMS before. Is ibuprofen or something good for it?

How often do most people do drop sets?

I'm no expert, but since no one else answered I'll give you my opinion. If I'm wrong, it will bring people flocking to the thread so it's a win-win. If you are having severe enough DOMS that you need pain relief, then you went too heavy too fast. It won't hurt anything, but it could affect your next workout or sometimes more, and it can be demotivating. That said, yes, I just use Ibuprofen.
Eta: From your original post, it looks like you've been hitting the gym for nearly 2 months now. Congrats and don't let up! If you keep it up long enough, it will become part of your lifestyle, and you won't be able to imagine life without it.

Loved reading through this thread. Same thing for me with the gym, and I'm glad to be hitting it up again. Depression and anxiety is a hell of a trip, but frick it lifting has me feeling not as shitty. I've been managing to eat relatively well lately too so we'll see what happens.

Today for the hell of it I got on a scale just to see what it would say, I judge my progress by how my clothes fit and energy level
Was surprised I dropped 12 lbs in 2 months. I actually thought I’d weigh more because lean muscle weighs more
Down 3.5” and sleeping better as well
I think in a couple weeks I will need to get new workout to just not get complacent

So not sure if should be scared out of my mind or just was air bubble
Felt an extension and pop doing a pec dec. good news was never went numb and it’s not bothering me or sore. Immediately went to lowest weight and then increased minimal weight during sets. Tomorrow will be key on if okay

No swelling nor real soreness either. I think I dodged a huge scare.
Posted on 10/23/20 at 9:33 pm to sms151t
Did some shoulder and tricep work today and felt really good. No issues after yesterday’s scare
My triceps are screaming at me though tonight

Was pleasantly surprised did drop sets today on back exercises
Started heavier than ever lifted since return
Seated Row
Lay pull down
Romainian Deadlift
Lawnmowers
Shrugs
Torso rotation
The.n after the last drop set of 8 with 30 sec rest I went back to burnout at start weight and did at least 5 reps of everything except the rotation
Also what is a good protein intake percentage? I’m at 25-30%daily. Just think I’m doing good things just not sure if that’s acceptable level.
Tonight my split was
1275 net calories
37% fat (70 g)
35% carbs (84 g)
28% protein (123 g)

A really dumb question but I am asking because I legitimately do not know
So if I increased rest time to say 60-75 seconds between sets instead of my normal 30-45 will that increase hypertophy and increase muscle tension to increase the loads?

I usually do 90 seconds between sets, sometimes 120 seconds just depending on how that last set felt and where I'm at. I think the minimum you should be resting is 90 seconds, unless supersetting

Good job mate :cheers.

Going back today for first time in a week. Was sick, not Corona, but legit sick. Will just do leg day as normally planned.
Hope I can stay motivated and focused like I had been.

I always take anything for anti-inflammatory purposes (turmeric, fish oil) at night. I lift in the mornings. You want some degree of inflammation after lifting weights. Maybe a day or two after lifting won't make any impact - not sure. I just wouldn't take anti-inflammatories right after lifting weights as a DOMS prevention strategy.

Take your body weight (or target body weight) and multiply by .7 and/or .8. Any number in that range should be your total grams of protein consumed per day. Whey protein is good for reaching your protein quota, and also keeping calories down.
