Sore Muscles from Weights - Any Tips to Help (ouch)

You seem to already be doing all I would have advised! I'm a big supporter of hot baths (Radox Muscle Soak...mmmmm), and a willing person to give you a massage every now and then.

I would recommend pineapple juice and ballistic stretching. I find (and P90X also says) that before a workout, holding a stretch for no more than a couple seconds makes me feel more limber for the activity I'm about to do; but I do multiple quick stretches. Then after a workout or between workouts I will do static (slow and long) stretches. I hear that pineapple juice has enzymes that ease post workout soreness.

If you are having muscle soreness you are doing something right. That means you are challenging your body. It should subside after a few weeks unless you keep changing it up. I seem to stay in a state of soreness because i am constantly being pushed out of my comfort zone but the initial deep soreness i felt at first is gone. I also like to take a hot bath afterward and use epsom salts. Stretching is a must...it will help. As long as its not Pain you are feeling you should be fine. Also some ibuprofin afterwards will help.
After my first session with a personal trainer i cursed like a sailor for 3 days every time i had to sit on the toilet. LOL Its gotten better...now i like the sore feeling...means im getting stronger and fitter!

The good news I'd that your muscles will stop being sore after lifting in a few weeks. It takes special effort for my muscles to be sore now, if they are sore I use a foam roller or a massage ball on any particularly tight areas.

Make sure you are getting plenty of protein!

My fiance has introduced me to whey protien shakes and I have started to eat more chicken etc. Last night I squated 30kg!!! I'm on my way to joining club 100kg. When I told my fiance about your sqaut he was gobsmacked, he he he!!

Good job! Make sure your form is good and keep pushing up the weight!

My brother is a NASM trainer, and I was reading some of his books. It recommends a snack about half an hour after the workout with carbs and protein. It also suggests ginger as an effective anti-inflamatory throughout the day. Some pickled ginger on a salad or steeped in tea seems good, it even says candied ginger in trail mix should do the trick.

BCAA helps some with muscle soreness, but unless it hampers your next session i say enjoy the pain

BCAA?
I am sort of enjoying the pain as I know it means my body is changing :-)

It's a food supplement, can get in powder or capsule form and does help reduce the pain from the DOM's, as does alternating hot/cold water from the shower on the area but ultimately enjoy the pain, it's your body growing stronger x

Glutamine supplement or eat alot of turkey which is a very good source for it. Soreness is good, pain is bad.

Learn to love the pain - if I need to crawl upstairs I know I worked out well

No, no.... it's not the going up that tells you you had a good workout --- it's coming back DOWN those steps! LMAO

just continue doing the lifts that made your muscle sore on a regular basis and you won't get very sore anymore (from that workout)

on that note, there is a ton of misinformation and (bull****) tribal knowledge about muscle soreness - edumacate yourself by reading the link below (it's pretty long)
