When I trained a few years ago, I would be sore all the time... Now I've been training again, lifting more times a week & heavier weights and am pretty much not sore at all...
I would try
1) increasing your protein to 1.5-2g per kg of body weight per day.
2) Cutting alcohol
3) Making sure you get enough sleep to recover properly
4) Drinking more Water (1 gallon / 4L a day)
- throwawayboise 5y agoSo I weigh about 84kg I should be shooting for ~150g protein daily? I don't really track closely but even with my ~30g post-workout drink I am guessing I don't get that much. I should keep a closer eye on it.
- rkk3 5y agoYeah I would try increasing protein, you may not have been getting enough for optimal recovery & growth. Besides protein shakes, non-fat greek yogurt and egg-whites are almost pure protein sources that are easy to add in.
