Aliquot #79: How to manage muscle soreness and promote recovery

Dr. Brad Schoenfeld

Although people experience muscle soreness to varying degrees, soreness is perfectly normal after training and typically occurs following exposure to novel stimuli. Managing muscle soreness is a component of recovery – a necessary aspect of training that allows you to come back strong with enough energy and joint-related reserves to train effectively in your next workout session. In this Aliquot, Dr. Brad Schoenfeld discusses the importance of recovery in the training process and provides tips and strategies to promote recovery.
