Ah, so you are my hivemind buddy for today.
add yoga to your life.. it works out all muscles so when you do a gym sesh on off days the isnt as much DOMS (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_onset_muscle_soreness).
RIP Man I
Shot up 97 sore muscles
Is this hornyposting?
If you haven't worked a muscle group out in a while you probably should derack and have at least one or two sessions where you work your way back up to your old weight. It'll help avoid those days after when you feel like you've been hit by a car and it's a practice you should get into a habit of doing anyway as you get older to prevent injury.
Arms and squats are my enemies right now.
You could always do bench squats. That's usually what folks do when they are recovering from injury because it's a little bit easier on the joints.
I haven't done a squat like that in my entire life. I just only do basic squats without any weights.
