    Whey protein immediately after a strenuous workout will help. Stretching afterwards will help too. Massage. Massage breaks up scar tissue that develops in your muscles and thus helps speed healing and alleviate soreness. Aside from that it sounds like you're probably overworking yourself a bit. I would take a day or two off to relax and recharge your body.

    Along with the protein right after a work out, I take a lot of epsom salt hot baths, and then take an ibuprophen or Aleve before I got to bed. And stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch - - at different times in the day.

    Do some restorative yoga (Hatha). Always makes my body feel so much better after hard workouts. I use beginners videos on doyogawithme.com

    You serious! :sick: I would suggest the OP to not take any kind of drug like ibuprofen just because DOMS is kicking in! :grumble:

    @OP just make sure you have reached most of your macro targets daily and maybe rest more, add a bit of stretching and the soreness should be gone in a couple of days! :drinker:
