I blasted my legs in the gym a couple days ago and then went for a pretty intense run afterwards. My legs are still really sore and so I was wondering if anyone has some tips on preventing this soreness in the future? I know it will get better as I do it more often but thought there may be some tips and tricks out there? And for the record I always stretch before and after workouts,,,I think it was because I did more than usual and had a real good intensity throughout. I was in the zone :good
roids apart from that give them a massage and ice them straight after a good workout to prevent inflation.
You can't really prevent soreness, it's your body trying to adapt to a greater workload. Next time it won't be as bad.
take a shower right after workout. and go as hot as you can stand then switch to as cold as possible and keep rotating every minute or so.
My legs are still sore today. Did I do too much? Should I split up running and weightlifting on my legs to different days?
I never do cardio after working out my legs, With leg workouts you normally have overload with the weights compared to other bodyparts, since your legs do so much in a regular day it would need a challenge. If your working for big legs, running would counteract that. But for boxers I guess it wouldn't really matter too much, it actually would be helpful when its time to fight.
you should know this by now. just because a muscle tears doesnt mean its going to grow back stronger or bigger. that depends on a number of things such as how much you eat, how long it takes to recover, how much muscle is torn and what you do with it while its resting.
