if you have access to do sled training for 10 minutes or so after your workouts, or the day after, it REALLY helps reduce doms. youtube has some videos on what sled training is. It's easy to do but very hard. lol

Hey,

Check out ETS from AtLarge Nutrition hands down the best stuff Ive used for DOMS. Im a retired competitive benchpresser and loved this stuff. Yes i was sponsored by ALN but I'm not any more. If I still trained at the level I use I'd be buying this stuff up like mad. Google At Large Nutrition and check it out designed specifically for DOMS.

Ok just looked they are currently out of stock of the stuff. But it is a very good product.

I have been one to go back and forth to the gym, so me and doms have a sado-macho relationship. For me the keys are light stretching, swimming, sauna, I would say anything to warm up the muscles and bring more blood flow. I also try to stagger my lifting for different body parts so they get the rest they need and find that works well for me. I choose not to go the painkiller route so that I don't hurt myself by believing the pain isn't so bad, but I have been tempted as I have been sore enough that it was hard to raise my arms over my head:)
