Ya that is about as useful as posting a study about not smoking = better healthy life. Since the thread is about MUSCLE SORENESS then that post (while correct) doesn't mean anything directly towards...

Almost all chest excercises really require other muscles. Overall, chest is one of the hardest things to build up and get stronger so it just takes time.

How am I thinking it is a study, it IS a report about the studies done. Here is another thing saying the same http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/news/20120214/ice-baths-for-sore-muscles-can-work...

Read the beginning of the article, "Researchers combined 17 studies" the article is about the results of the studies. So ya.....


Sleep is great but you SHOULD combine it with Ice for max...

Look at the first link. They did studies on rest, using ice, and being semi-active (cardio work) for sore muscles. And Ice was still most effective.

What about the bodybuilding gains? Thread is helpful but way too long, 99% of people are not going to read it, just sayin.

Ice is the best cure for sore muscles - http://news.menshealth.com/soothe-sore-muscles-like-a-pro/2012/02/16/

But stretching does have benefits as well -...

Ya but getting rid of inflamation allows for muscles to recover faster. And get rid of soreness.

Although using ice is better than stretching, but sometime stretching is still good for sore...

Are you serious right now? You are what is wrong with gyms in todays society.

Yes you may increase strength faster with high weight low reps, but that excercise works your body better when going more for reps with a little lower weight.

1400! Get that intake up ASAP. Some 80lb dude should be taking in 1400 cals not you.

Eat less, and go for higher reps.

Troll thread. Noone in there right mind should think gaining 100lbs of MUSCLE in a year is possible. Eat mcdonalds 5 times a day for a year, and maybe you can get 100lbs of fat but that's it.

That is a crazy bulk, I suggest cutting because I have a feeling that a large portion of that bulk was fat and not muscle. So start cutting, but pictures of where you are now would help to see if it...

"upped the weight and lowered the reps"

that is probably the issue, as the guy above me said, reps are what is most important on your legs. All muscle groups can benefit greatly with extra reps,...

Ya stretching can be good, I messed up my before and stretched it and it helped quite a bit. But if you really overworked your muscles (more than just sore) then USE ICE.

It's not a horrible thing to cheat and have "bad" foods sometimes. But in order to increase your appetite, you should slowly increase calorie intake by 200-300 calories and that should make you...

Deadlifts are easily one of the best excercises that require complete good form. Even if you always have good form, people can mess up their backs by jumping up the weight too fast. When you put...

Technique is most important. But check out this site for full info on how to get a powerful punch http://www.brianmac.co.uk/articles/scni33a8.htm

Ya that is about right, I've seen people be from the end to almost the middle (close grip) so it depends on your arm length and size. But generaly where you have your hands is fine.
