Tips for reducing post leg day soreness?

[Need2BeBig]

I pretty much cant walk right now after my early sat morning brutal leg session, what do you guys do the next day to reduce leg soreness/aching? im not talking about any supplements or anything like that, more like stretches etc

[JJ88]

try eating proteene. i dont usualy do legs so i dont have a problem with that

[Teflon]

Stretch.

[BigTruckGuy3500]

Just keep moving after your workouts. Stretch too. Some people say creatine will help, but I don't have any experience with it.

Stretch, glutamine, plenty of food.

[Poppa Pump]

there's not MUCH you can do....usually just have to suck it up, it's all part of working out. But try stretching right after your workouts. And it's also a good idea to walk for about 15-20 minutes on a treadmill after a workout...though i know it can be hard after a leg session. Peace

I dont have enough cash at the moment for some glutamine powder, but i have seen some L-Glutamine tablets that are pretty cheap, are these effective for increasing recovery speed?

If I'm wrong correct me.

Glutamine supposedly helps creatine, which you take in when you eat meat, move throughout the body. I couldn't say if it works or not though. If anything creatine and increased protein intake would be the most beneficial.

Negative. Glutamine hinders creatine usage since creatine and glutamine both try to attach to similar receceptors. However ATP cycling helps create more glutamine in your body, therefore creatine phosphate intake means faster cycling of atp, and thus more glutamine production. Sugar is what helps atp and creatine usage.

To your question about glutamine tables, I'd say it is a waste. They are 500mg (if I'm not mistaken) which means you'd need to take 10 to get your recommended dosage. On top of which it will not be absorbed as quick as powder. I got a free sample once. I didn't notice much. And I think what I noticed was probably the placebo effect.

bump to tht!!!!!

got soreness?

[Meta]

I wish I had soreness = ( Havn't been in the gym all weekend.

[IGF]

Read up on active recovery as well..that works really good for me.

[RipStone]

What I do is stretch for a good 10-15 minutes about 2 hours after my leg workout. Sometimes it's hard to remember to do that but it seems to help. For some reason my legs get more sore than any other muscle group/s.

I heard Vitamin E helps in reducing inflammatory in muscles after heavy training so give that a try.
