Muscle ache, whats the best stuff to rub on em?

[arnisador]

You are talking about lactic acid buildup, which is one reason. The 2-3 day soreness is from microscopic tearing of the muscle fibers. Which when healed results in adaptation and strength.

And so, is ultimately a good thing! That doesn't mean that ice or what have you isn't worth doing, but the soreness is a sought-after effect of bodybuilding, like it or not.

To some extent..I dont push for soreness on every workout. I like to feel strong and fast more often than I like to feel sore and decrepit.

You could always try the sexiest solution....a hot massage therapist.

I tried the HMT route, but the cheap SOB's at State Farm said I'm fine and won't cover it.

Thanks for the tips and ideas. Time to research a few of em and see what works for me. Very! much appreciated!
