    Also take ten minutes after every workout and stretch, it will make a marked difference immediately if you're not doing it already.

    I end up using BCAAs in my water for a couple of days after my workout. You don't really need BCAA is your protein intake is adequate. Mine tends to be all over the place so I use them. Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)

    What always helps me is extra stretching and drinking tons of water!

    This is going to sound really weird...but sometimes I rub horse liniment on my sore muscles and it really works lol

    Wow....no that does not sound weird.

    That's actually an old fashioned remedy, liniment used to be a big thing in sports locker rooms and non-equine forms would include Absorbing Junior, Tiger Balm and Bengay. It's really a mild topical irritant that takes advantage of some quirks in our pain reception.

    all i can think of now is richard e. grant smearing himself with horse liniment in withnail and i. 'liar. you've got antifreeze!'

    um, just me probably. er, carry on.

    Make sure to stretch stretch stretch to avoid tightening up too much and foam rolling while initilly hurts is absolutely going to feel so much better

    Foam roller
    Epson salt bath

    I knew about the salt...but foam roller really?

    Why so skeptical?

    Not skeptical..just never heard of foam

    I thought in another thread you mentioned being an active recreational cyclist. Strikes me as unusual not to be aware of basic recovery tools.
