Default Re: Muscles aching after working out

If you consume enough protein, get enough rest, drink plenty of water... etc. that would help the soreness

Other ideas could include a heating pad if your lower back is sore from deadlifting for example, ice, getting your womans to give you teh massage, etc.

I read something a while back about shifting hot and cold showers... as in taking a shower and alternating water temp every few minutes if youre showering right after working out. I have never tried this. It could be bad. But heck... take a shower and switch from hot water to cold(er) water every few minutes back and forth like and see if it does anything for you.

As always make sure youre talking muscle soreness (DOMS; delayed onset muscle soreness) from lifting not straight out muscle pain from a pull or some other lifting related injury. And enjoy the pain; it lets you know you did something badass.
