I don't know if it was a blip but my DOMS is worse under plant-based. I have a feeling it could easily be noise though as I did a particularly good/hard leg day.

Is your one working well for you regarding DOMS? Many people with more testosterone than me tend to say they don't get DOMS as bad as me.

I've never used non-plant protein regularly so I can't make the comparison. As for muscle aches, I find the recovery time to be significantly less when my diet is plant based overall. I also get muscle spasms after exercise and using magnesium tablets helps me with that A LOT

Interesting. I don't get spasms but I do take L-Glutamine and BCAAs before working out which really help with energy during. Are you vegetarian?

I've heard good stuff about both especially BCAAs. I dont take anything else. I'm not weight lifting or even going to the gym. At the moment I'm only playing amateur league basketball
Part time vegetarian here. I do it for a few weeks then quit but my diet is mainly plant based1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Oh, but that's still a workout! Nice. I'm a full-time pescitarian 100% for 2 years (before that once-a-week I ate chicken, and before that I used to eat red meat). I do gym and bouldering and the DOMS from both was out of this world for months. Like literally walking like Kryten.

I think people who have lower testosterone store less sugar in their muscles, not sure but something like that? So I think my muscles are just particularly bad at having stores of energy and they really do not sustain exercise without extra help (pills, etc)...

I have periods where if I haven't eaten even after a few hours (depends what and how much I ate of course) I feel genuinely faint and NEED to eat. I am generally quite small/thin so I can see how there might not be a lot of space to store energy in my muscles.

My strength is getting out of control though so much so that I often break stuff w/out realising. I can arm press more than half my weight, so it's a little weird when people realise as like I said I'm not hypertrophic/super pumped (what people typically think strong looks like).

Today the plumber was round and he asked me to pull someth and I assumed it was going to be really hard so I used my whole arm strength and I basically almost broke the seal of the tap he installed in the bath. he was like OMG you are so strong, this is just an acrylic bath.
