Today was my second workout in 3 days with protein shakes (pre and post), BCAA, and glutamine. I think they def take the edge off my DOMS but nowhere near 100% nor 50% either — just the edge, making everything way more bearable. Also I really don't feel as wiped out.

I usually do a post workout protein only. There’s also L-alanine. But generally I listen to my body, if I’m too wiped that means that I’m increasing load too fast or not resting enough. I’m not a competitive athlete so I’m not willing to spend too much money for marginal gainz

Yeah, but I was literally with DOMS for half of the days for the past year.

it’s a spectrum. If it’s horrifically bad I rest and de-load for a bit. If it’s the usual mild doms that’s what I call the feeling of achievement!1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

It's complicated. The research says some interesting stuff but it doesn't seem to correlate with a good work out I think.

unless I’m training towards an event I generally don’t push too hard. Many people subconsciously use exercise as a crutch to escape emotions, leading to overtraining and injury. I’ve been down that road. So generally my focus is listening to and caring for your body.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I don’t think we’re exceptionally emotional, we’re just more aware of it because as women we’ve been socially conditioned to believe it. Men are very emotional too, but most of their emotions (except anger) are invalidated so they’re less self-aware.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
Sorry, I was referring only to myself. Wires crossed.
