Muscle Soreness

[ashley2212]

I don't know if it's the right thing, but I usually take some pain pills and push through. I'm usually only sore for 2 days. If I realy push it - three.

Damnit... I found an article the other day about how pain pills may prevent muscle growth. Not saying it's necessarily true, but it was an interesting read. I think it was on msn.com.

Here's my advice: LEARN TO LOVE THE SORENESS!!! Nothing feels better to me than feeling really sore from a hard workout...

Well... ok, I lie, I can think of some other things that feel pretty good

Don't get me wrong I love being sore and knowing I killed myself... I did a light 2 mile run yesterday... Well my light is still a 8.5 mph on the treadmill.... The funny thing is... The lady next to me was trying to keep up with her 5.5 and was staring at my treadmill the whole time. Of course if only she knew my legs felt like lead she would have probably fainted. She actually helped me keep going I liked watching her mouth drop. I think that's why my legs feel a little better today...
I do take glutamine twice a day in the morning and usually after the work-out. Though I cut out the bananas for carb reasons... I'll look into K supplements...
Ahhhh I feel like a machine today... 10 hours of deep sleep and I feel like I can conquer the world.. well if my legs would let me

omg... that is one of my biggest pet peeves... when people can't mind their business on the treadmill. Ever see the people who stare to see what you enter for your weight? I wanna slap them and say, "DO YOU MIND?!" And it's always the fat ladies who are walking at 2.5 mph for some reason...

Nice! Thanks! That wasn't the one that I just read, but it was more or less the same point. I appreciate the effort...

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to Miss24k again

You're welcome ,

I wasn't sure if that was the same 1 that you read, but like you said it has the same points, and I thought that some of the ladies in here should take a look at it, if they haven't already.

As for myself I like to take a hot bath, and stretch when I'm sore.

Definitely.

On a side note, I love the day after a hard workout when you get involuntary twitiching in the muscles that you worked... it feels cool and it's kind of like a reinforcement that you hit em hard I'm thinking of that cuz my quads are twitching as I type...

Anyone know what I mean?

I know exactly what you're talking about.

I love when I do legs and I can't walk out of the gym...when I got to sit down for 10 minutes, cause my legs won't stop shaking. lol. (which happens every leg day)

Yea I know, some of you ladies must be thinking I'm loco. lol
