Tom you might need more Glutamine in your diet, I started taking Glutamine along with my post workout shake and before I go to bed, Helps tremendously with DOMS.
Maybe try upping your protein intake aswell even if it's just by a small amount, 20 grams or so.

Im dialed with both mate, my training partner is a full on gym bunny with an insane diet etc and even he suffers.

I love having DOMs, lets me know I've worked out hard enough. My hamstrings and glutes will most likely bother me tomorrow after todays deadlifts though.

If youre fine on the 2nd day youre a pussy and didnt go heavy enough!

Either that, or you need to mix things up.

yesterday I did calf raises w/ 35kg for 50 reps and today i can barely walk, the burn was intense as hell. i'm still not sure how i'll cope with 4 flights of stairs tomorrow for my maths a-level.

ps. i also did 20kg lunges x 20 reps and squats 50kg x 10 reps and 70kg x 5 reps

You've got to remember Tom's getting a little old in the tooth - it's only a matter of time before his body gives out on him :lol:

Agreed. Not to sound like a meathead but if you ain't sore, you didn't do enough. If I'm not sore th day after a workout, I know I need to up the intensity and/or change things up some.

You get to like working out your legs a lot after a while given the amount of weight you can move with them.

i love working my legs, favourite workout i think! i went stupidly hardcore today!

Id reccomend PHD Synergy, if you are just starting out, contains everything you need, once youve been doing it for a few months and you work out how your body works, we can suggest other supplements to help

I've tried them all, and strawberry tastes the best, with chocolate orange at a close second!

One thing with shakes and stuff try and ignore the taste I know it's easier said than done but something you have to bare

I used to use the Optimum Nutrition Whey. I'm using Kinetica now. It's slightly cheaper and I figured it'd be better to be adding to Irish GDP as opposed to American GDP (Kinetica is produced here).

To be honest though, supplements of any type aren't *really* necessary. (In fairness Whey is more of a meal than supplement) You can get all you're going to need from the right foods. Although they are convienent. As an illustration of that, two scoops of Whey a day saves me consuming another Steak/Chicken Fillet/Can of Tuna.

 

[Tripp]

well i have ordered 2kg of phd synergy i have used a few different whey shakes before an not noticed any difference, but as i am just getting back into training i thought i may give it a pop again

 

[MrKambo]

I did a total of 50 squats in the gym this morning. I'm going to have serious trouble walking for rest of the week.

i dare you to sit cross legged for 45 seconds and try and get up

 

[Zoot]

Well I'm actually taking a week off the gym next week. Going to mix things up a little after that, still haven't decided on a routine though.

And I can't imagine I'll be able to get up sitting cross-legged.

 

[MrKambo]

for the last 3 weeks i haven't progressed much in terms of pushing volume

my deit has been pretty good, odd bit of cake and pringles, nothing to punch me in the dick about but i cant work out why i cant go harder!
