overcoming muscle soreness
Replies

as long as there is no injury, muscle soreness is fine. wait until you're not sore anymore, and then hit it again. each time it will get easier, and there will be little to no soreness in a short matter of time. be sure to give yourself at least 1 day rest in between each time.
Each time it will get easier - for some that is simply not true, and for people aiming for hypertrophy it is very untrue. As for rest, also not true for relieving muscle soreness/discomfort, better to exercise.0 -
Stretch before, stretch after and a glass of milk will help recovery as well.
I will rush to Wikipedia to edit all the DOMS and other muscle related articles to correct sports and medical science on their current - "We don't really know why." Milk, it is.0
