How to recover?

I haven't worked out my legs in awhile.. so I did it last friday night..
now i can't even stand up straight..

what's the fast way to recovery.. can't goto work like this..

in order IMO:

1. protein
2. carbs
3. fats
4. rest
4. creatine
5. BCAA's
6. Glutamine

Basically, you just need to eat your ass off. DOMS (soreness) is because you arent getting enough protein. So if you know you havent lifted something in awhile, you need to make sure you really try hard to get the protein in all day to recover..

is this fact because I always get sore when I was going to the gym regularly and I always made sure I had more than enough protein

i think protein will help you rebuild your muscles faster

but if you work out and rip your muscles to shreds, their is absolutely no way they aren't going to hurt tomorrow or for the next day or two....

I went to a concert Friday night with sore hamstrings and was in a mosh pit for 90 minutes. I literally woke up Saturday morning and felt like I was hungover.

People still do mosh pits? I thought those went out of style with flannel and cutting yourself?

lol it was a crazy crowd and I got into it. It was a blast though... I'd never been in one before.

I was just messing around... but seriously, I haven't been in a mosh pit since the late 90's. They are great times though. I once fractured a rib but didn't realize it until the next day cause the adrenaline (and possibly the vast quantities of pot I smoked) was pumping.

i feel your pain

when i don't lift legs for a while, and i know i'm going to be super sore...

i get out my calendar and plan a time to start that first legs lift depending on whats going on in the next week.

it sucks

stretch and protein...

The band we were seeing is a bunch of local guys so the energy is always amazing. And they're total goofballs, too - Van Halen style guitars, back flips off amps, etc.

It was funny... I was standing there with my buddy before any of the bands had started. I was wearing a tight black t-shirt and this kid turns to me and goes, "So... you gonna fvckin' kill some people tonight?" I started laughing my ass off.
