sore

[elmo000]

I couldn't find anybody treating the following question :

What should I eat when I'm sore ? Anything I should try and eat more of ? Anything I should try and avoid ?
(and don't just say "protein",... duhh)

btw, i'm a vegan.....

being sore really has nothing to do with your meals, but more you're workout

you might want to try and up carbs a bit the day of major muscle workouts (legs + back) and up protein the day after

otherwise make sure you have proper form and if you're still really sore you might be lifting too much weight

i have actually noticed that since i have been eating more carbs, not only has my energy shot through the roof, but i am also hardly ever sore anymore.

DOMS can be decreased with good nutrition . Also stretching the muscle group in between sets and after the workout well decrease doms.

I agree, nutrition seems to play a big part....pre and post w/o nutrition is just as imprtant as the lifting itself. and stretching is a key factor in reducing soreness imo. also, Glutamine haters, stay off this thread, Glutamine should help with soreness. 10g pre w/o and 10 g post w/o.

How strict are you? are you a true vegan?ample preotein is hard to get as a true vegan. I know!

Oh really? How long were you lifting as a vegetarian? or are you just regurgitating sh*t other people have said?

just a personal experience.. After taking glutamine after every workout for a month or two, I stopped taking it altogether. I noticed that I would be extremely sore the following days after working out more so than usual. I now take it again, and in all honesty, I'm no longer sore the following days.. I also take some creatine after since i have a huge tub i got cheap once, and need to get rid of it!

well, i'm not really a bodybuilder. i actually started lifting to get stronger for capoeira, but i like it so much, that i'm giving it some extra attention lately. my prime goal is still to get stronger.

i guess my only sources of protein are soy (tofu, soy protein shakes) and yeast (sometimes i make shakes with soy protein powder and yeast).

anyway, thanks for replying. i think i'll try more carbs. i haven't been eating a lot of carbs lately.

ya know, wheat gluten, if you dont mind it is loaded with protein


don't forget your beans and rice

[elmo000]

forgive my terrible ignorance MASSIVEVEGAN, but what wheat gluten products are there ?

so ur telling me vegan boy that a vegan diet is better than a diet with meat.

[elmo000]

hi LONDONBEAST. so nice of you to join.

i don't know if you meant me by "vegan boy" or MASSIVEVEGAN, but i don't remember saying a vegan diet is better. i don't remember MASSIVEVEGAN saying that either. i just said i'm a vegan.
i'm not a vegan because i think it's healthier. i'm a vegan because i think the situation in modern industrialized farms is one of humanity's biggest crimes, and i don't want to take any pleasure from it.

yeah yeah yeah, call me sissy, gay ("not that there's anything wrong with that"), idiot, naive, i don't care
