active recovery. your so sore because of the lactic acid buildup.. so you need to find a way to get bloodflow back into to the muscles to push it out.
these things are killing me. i cant lift today. i cant even go parralel to sit in a chair. im getting 8 hs of sleep im eating a lot. what else could i do? ill skip todays workout but i dont wa nt to do it again

I'll make a topic about this in the FAQ in the weekend I think.
I have to give it to you though, danny. That DOMS guy is a real meanie.

"Strength is the product of struggle"
"Your greatest challenge isn't another person. Its the burning in your lungs and the burning in your legs, its the voice in your head screaming STOP you cant do anymore. But you dont listen. You push harder and you start to hear a the whisper of YOU CAN. You realize you are not the person you thought you were is no match for the person you are."
Warmup and try to squat. If it hurts, don't do it. It you feel ok, squat.


alright. tahnks guys. im gunna try and squat but if i cant im gunna rest.

I'm really disappointed, this thread title had so much promise.![]()
No kidding Mino... I saw it and was like...."what? this should be in chat!"

S-T-R-E-T-C-H your legs before and after you squat. Go hit the jakooooozi after you do legs then stretch again. Latter tonight stretch again very lightly. The inactive moments of yo0ur day is when it will set in.
Where do you think the soreness comes from then? Here I wanted to prove you wrong but learned something.. imagine that!![]()

I don't think lactic acid stays in the muscles. Pain does, I know that.

I was actually thinking of a study I had read lately about micro trauma in the muscle fibers, and that study was basically that wiki link you just posted, and the link talked about stretching. Hell, I can't remember where I read it. Hell, I might have read that wiki link a few months ago and forgot I read it, but remembered the subject matter.

i squatted. and not only was i fine i squatted more than i ever did before![]()
According to wiki - Ibuprofen helps with DOMs but hinders growth - here is the link - but I dont use it.

I noticed in the replies above there wasnt much mention of drinking plenty of water - I know I find DOMs less of a problem when I'm well hydrated.
I'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?
muscle fibers don't feel pain, they literally can't, don't have pain receptors. negative only/negative accentuated exercises bring out DOMS more severely than "traditional" concentric/eccentric exercise performed at a consistent cadence.
because of higher levels of friction, and because of the slower "stretching" of the myofibrils and higher levels of tension because of greater resistance capacity and a typically slower tempo, negative exercise brings out a more severe level of DOMS. i personally believe it a cause of structural damage at the myotendinous junction (or other connective tissue points). it also would explain why negative exercise is so draining in terms of recovery ability.
"in the howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank. The nights of Stalingrad are a terror for them. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure."
the point of the above being that eccentric exercise causes more damage to the tissue internally. the fact that you are typically 30 or so percent stronger with eccentric exercise is a good example of why there will be more microtrauma. performing the exercises slower with more weight will increase the internal muscular friction, too, which will also instigate more damage. the fact that eccentric exercise emphasises the stretch would lend itself to the argument that the pain my be coming from connective tissue.
