Reply With QuoteThe best remedy from unwanted DOMS is to keep training for a year or two.
If you're new to this the reason you're hurting is because your muscles have never worked really hard before, at least not in this particular way. Its a stress your body doesn't have the means to deal with yet.
Don't sweat it though. Make sure you do a few REALLY light and easy warmup sets before your work sets, stretch for a few sets of 20-30seconds on each muscle after your workout, and get plenty of quality food and rest.
Give it a few months the things that put you in agony now will seem like nothing.
8 Years into training and it takes a hell of a lot to get me even slightly sore. The only thing in recent memory was power shrugs with 450lbs - traps were fucked for a week, haha.

Muscle soreness and recovery
Hello folks
Complete weight lifting noob. Lifted this Tuesday...3 set of light shoulder press, 3 sets of incline bench and 2 sets of decline bench. All light weights....I stretched before and after, but being a total noob...
So, today, Thursday, my shoulders and tri's are screaming...
Did I do too much? I'm sure I did...but I'll learn.
Anyways.....what can one take to help muscle recovery/soreness that won't make my nads shrink, make me angry and isn't too terribly expensive?
Thanks!

It comes and goes with experience. I had to take off a month this summer for some surgery, the first week back in the gym was quite painful. My shoulders don't usually get very sore and the first day back I did them. For the next two days, I could barely lift my arms above my head lol.

I wish the only thing that hurt after training was my muscles. Like the others said, give it time and the soreness will eventually go away, and make sure you are warming up.

Totally agree with Gaz. I been training for about 15 years and I have to break myself off to get sore. I'm talking rest pause, forced reps, supersets, multiple drops! Its crazy. But take me out of the gym for a month and I'm as sore as a virgin on prom night.
