DOMS, OMG
After weeks of not going to the gym (moved house, stuff, blah), I returned to do a bunch of back squats and some chest and shoulder presses at my lowest working weights on Wednesday. I knew I would be sore for a couple of days after, but this is ridiculous; I'm limping around like a saddlesore cartoon cowboy. I've looked around for tips on treating or preventing muscle soreness, but there's nothing especially helpful I can see. Has anyone here had success with a particular treatment or routine? I'd love to know what works for people.
