    back off on the massage for now--stick with cool packs not warm. after 14 days you can transition to warm packs and get back to your massage.

    Love DOMS.... like u say it shows you are working and recovering! Keep the BCAAs up too... might be placebo but they always get me through even after a lay-off when it’s hard to get out of bed after an intense deadlifting sesh!

    Also, light work outs following intense ones help. Just to stretch and get some blood into the muscle to aid recovery. Works for me.

    Best of luck

    I get around DOMS by reducing the number of full body workouts to focus on the body parts that hurt less lol.

    So if my inner thighs are hurting, umm, like from the repeated sets of weighted lunges I did two days ago 😂...then its upper body strength training time.

    Perhaps a similar strategy can work for you.
