There was me innocently thinking BCAA, glutamine, and protein shakes might help. 
Here's what the research is like https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/delayed-onset-muscle-soreness …

It's interesting how the research describes it as occurring sporadically. I work out 3 or more times a week.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I started reading it, and understood what I was reading... Then it started talking about plasmalemma and neutrophils and oh my brain. I don't know what any of this means, haha.pic.twitter.com/PfDJz8GRVj

I think the general overview is that it happens when you don't regularly do the exercise that caused it. So it's surprising that we get it so often.

You know what, that actually makes perfect sense. Wednesday I did my workout and then in the evening I didn't want to sit around with my thoughts so I went for an uncharacteristic and quick 5k run. Oh God, the pain! I like the leg DOMS, but damn, it was so much more than usual!
-
I have a really strict routine though. Your story is definitely more in agreement with the research!
-
I'm strict on having workouts in my routine, but I'm not strict in regards to what I actually do during the workout. That is awesome info to know from the general overview you've offered (thank you for dumbing it down for me, haha), could be very useful!

Oh, I'm no expert on this — please do not change anything based on me glancing at a literature I'm not familiar with.
-
Oh, no plans to change anything (although, nearly two years into my fitness kick and clean diet, I really should join a gym someday) but it is interesting to note how well the theory lines up with what I've observed personally.

Not entirely sure it's at the level of a theory yet, but it's a believable hypothesis for sure.

Bouldering is more well rounded but everything hurts afterwards on Mondays and Tuesdays.
