You always get super sore after an extended leave from the gym. Eventually that od soreness goes away.
The more conditioned your muscles are the faster it recovers.
But if you do find yourself extra sore, one of the best ways is to keep moving. Active rest is key. Sitting or lying down for extended periods just promotes lactic acid buildup.

Best way is to keep moving. Light jog, walk, something that keeps you active.

Those are the Big Grip ones I was talking about. Regular straps pull on my wrists which hurts sometimes. With these, I've never had a problem except you can't really false grip it. The material on the outside is slippery compared to cotton.

I am an immortal being! My quads have been sore since Saturday from leg day. I was literally crawling the last four days. Waking up and having to slowly roll out of bed because my legs were incapacitated.
I was thinking twice about doing legs but was originally planning on hopping on the treadmill and warming up my legs so the soreness will temporarily go away and call it a day.
Did incline for 45 minutes and said F it. Hit squats, sumo squats, leg curls, weighted lunges on an inclined plane and dead lifts. Walking out that mug like a gimp. Went home and took a nap. When I woke up, I got up and jumped out of bed to use the bathroom. Now I'm sitting here on the toilet happy as **** that my legs work again

, there's nothing immortal about this. The worst thing you can do for soreness is avoid working that area in any shape way or form.This was Monday's strength work:
WL:
1) Clean & Jerk: 5X2@80%
2) Jerk from blocks: 5X1@100% of #1
Accessories:
1) Jerk Grip OHS: 5X2@80%
Strength:
1) BTN Push Press Clean Grip: 5X2@80%
2) Good Mornings: 3X5@80%

Pretty sure I'm in snap city after trying to military press more than I could. I have a pain in my mid back when I lean back or forward. It's been 4 days since I last lifted. What should I do? I tried using Icy-Hot cream and iced a couple days and it didn't seem to help and taking some NSAID's like Advil. Should I just stretch and keep icing until it goes away? Can I still ride my bike and do light body weight exercises?

Okay. I'm torn between these two brands. Price's aren't too bad.. but the "dowel" on the Schiek wrap seems interesting for added support... what you guys think?

Do you guys drink protein shakes on your off days? I've been kind of sporadic about it, trying to figure out if I should make it a daily thing. Trying to bulk up btw if that makes any difference.

just eat whatever you like to hit your protein macros... whole foods are always better.

Butt winking is a serious problem of mine on my squats. I never used to have this problem.

Butt winking isn't always bad... Omar Isuf had a video about it...
Pretty much, for a low bar squat, you'll hut a depth where butt working is acceptable without necessarily being a break in form.

I also butt wink but when I try not to I feel like I'm not squatting. I like squating butt to ground
