Struggling to walk 2days after leg workout

[Malik182]

I worked on my legs 2days ago, I am still finding it hard to walk about and go up and down the stairs, my thighs(especially the back)-hamstrings are sore, it feels good because I know I worked hard but its taking ages to recover, I have been using glutamine and drinking lots of water and stretching. How can I recover fast as I want to go gym tomorrow and train upper body but I am walking like a penguin.

get a good rest, extend your sleep, drink water, eat oranges and bananas just to prevent cramp. I used to had this sore from leg day and couldn't walk properly. I went down the stairs at school. Quads couldn't hold up trip, almost fell down if i didn't hold onto the wall. I just gave it a good rest.
Hope this help OP

Rest
Sleep
Get enough protein and ice your muscles to try and speed up recovery

Drink lots of water. Maybe take a nap. Also glutamine is basically a waste of money. There is tons of studies that show it doesn't work. I.e.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19421321 ,http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17111006 You're better off just taking some fish oil to help with joints, sleeping a little longer and taking something like amino energy because: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18974721

Stop taking glutamine.

Eat a ****ton.

It's called DOMS, goes away once you start actually lifting.

Rest another day, eat, sleep, and go squat again. DOMS will disappear like magic.

You sure you're not tearing muscles or getting hurt instead of being sore?

Ask my Ex's they'll let you know how they worked that out. But yeah first time I worked out my legs I was sore for like a week you just have to thug it out. Feel me?

contrast showers. start hot for a minute then do as cold as you can possibly stand(you should be shivering) for 30 seconds then repeat 3 or 4 times and finish on cold, its very important to finish cold.. this will help get the blood flow and prevent lactic acid buildup.. this is the reason you get sore.. it works wonders for me and speeds up recovery. and do the other things peolpe suggested eat more rest more drink more water. and eat more bro.

google contrast showers. football and rugby players do lots of ice baths for recvery and im guessing you dont have a tub of ice. so the freezing showers work! and you feel great after.

[Malik182]

[Mazillion]

you're probably just new to working out, right OP? i used to get sore every time when i first started working out. i stopping getting sore after like two weeks though. one time i literally could barely walk for like 4-5 days. it sucked a lot.

I don't care what people say, after a leg workout I take a ridiculously warm bath with about 350 litres of Radoxnin it (bath stuff, UK Brah here).
You're right with stretching, keep protein intake high and drink loads of water, on the right track mate!
