Is there a way to speed up muscle recovery? I was round my friend's house using his weights on Friday. I'm still recovering now and i can barely pick anything up. Even lifting my arms to shoulder height is a big task.

    Use the muscles. Increasing blood flow to the muscle will help speed up recovery/repair of the muscle.

    ^^ Definitely.

    I find the best thing to help with muscle soreness after a particularly hard workout is to just work out or do some sort of exercise. That typically helps "speed up" the recovery process.

    Thank you for the feedback. It was the first time using weights for like 4 years. Think i done to much to quickly.
