I am Tired of DOMS

[RottenWillow]

I'll try the glutamine first and go from there. One thing I learned a long time ago, one thing at a time when it comes to vitamins.

I tried glucosamine/chondroitin before and it was WONDERFUL ... until it flared my ummm, intestinal issues, which happens to some people unfortunately (I'm celiac). I had to give up joint pain relief ... it's not really my joints so much anymore, it's the damn, damn, damn DOMS!

Thank ya ladies!

Mi'ija, I read years ago that DOMS is principally caused by the eccentric or negative phase of the movement. I experimenting with speeding up the eccentric phase and I noticed a considerable decrease in the amount of DOMS. Like any sound quantitative research I tried duplicating the results and it's worked every time. Longer eccentric phase----> delayed muscle soreness reappears, shorter phase--->little or no DOMS.

However, the training effect of speeding of the negative is another issue entirely.
