I get sore for days after leg day. How do you guys speed up recovery?

[MsPearls]

Hey, everyone! I’ve noticed that after every leg day, I get sore for two or three days & it’s starting to mess with the rest of my training. What do you guys do to recover faster? any tips, routines, or tricks that actually help? Thanks!

Creatine.

First of all, you need to rest. Rest is as important as training. Let your muscle heal. Taking creatine will also aid your recovery as it reduces exercise-induced muscle damage.

Hydrate, creatine, rest and you will get through it in a week or two.

Hmmmm. What's your leg day routine, by the way? @MsPearls

Hi @BigArvin I usually do squats, leg press, lunges, hamstring curls, & calf raises. I push pretty hard on the big lifts. Do you think I might be overdoing it?

Thanks @67StingRay, I appreciate it. I’ll focus on hydrating more and staying consistent with creatine. good to know it should get better in a week or two.

Thanks @BigArvin for the advice. I definitely need to prioritize rest more. I haven’t tried creatine consistently so I might give it a shot. appreciate the tips!

You have to keep a consistent schedule for leg day and steer a couple weeks you won’t get sore anymore.

How often do you do leg day and how hard do you go? If you go all out just do one a week and give your muscle time to heal!
