Is there anything you can do to ease Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)?

and recover faster?
How long after DOMS goes away are you fully recovered?
I only seen to get it when i do squats
Do you then rest and not do anymore until the DOMS does away?? Because if you do - then you will always have it. I found that if I continued to follow my routine and did the squats anyway when my legs hurt that the DOMS both decreased in length and severity.

Me too
Dont worry It will hardly ever happen the more you hit legs.
Stretch before and after.
If it gets real sore just pop a couple anti inflam's (if your ok to do so)

After you do squats, or after your leg routine do 5-10 mins on an excercise bike fairly briskly but not too hard. This works for me, i dnt know the science but i think it has somethng to do with pumping the blood through the region to flush out the lactic acid build up.

lol it's only pain, besides it's good. I'll randomly poke muscles to see if they are sore, if I don't have a muscle group sore and repairing at all times then to me I'm not training enough or hard enough.

I kinda do that too,
but there is actually no medical evedence that DOMS has anything to do with mucle growth.

Well for me it just means that I really kicked my butt the previous day, and lifting heavy and going hard is what gains muscle. If you went hard and don't get sore, I'm sure you'll get the same gains as if you went hard and didn't get sore.
