How do you deal or manage muscle pain from gym workouts?

You shouldn’t be getting pain, but if you’re really sore there are a few things you can do.


Protein helps muscle fibers repair themselves, so eating protein and drinking protein shakes really help. I recommend the Fairlife protein shakes, 30g.


Cold showers/heat packs. You’ve seen people take ice baths? Yeahhh.


My favorite way to cure sore muscles is by going ham on them, like deep tissue massaging them. It feels painful when you do it, but focus on one muscle for 1-2 minutes and afterwards try stretching it. Most, if not all, of the soreness goes away.

Thanks for that.. i just started and haven't tried any protein shakes yet but will do

If your in pain and not just tired sore muscles your exercising to much!

Also don't have sugar before working out as this can cause your muscles to be more sore

By pain i meant sore muscles.. i don’t think im doing too much but I recently joined the gym

I had banana smoothie before the gym😋

[RoseySarah]

Good cause most do to much!
My advice is protein before and a massager after!
Maybe a few ice pads...
Keep going your doing great

Thank you😊

Ice baths, but you won't feel sore once you are used to it

[maroon_eyez]

I know there’s ice bath at the gym, haven't been there yet

[The-Stud]

You can do that at home too!

[maroon_eyez]

I dont have a bath tub or big enough container to fit myself haha

[The-Stud]

Bro you already won

Plenty of protein. That's it's job is to rebuild muscles you've broken down. Try taking a hot relaxing bath. Just soak in a hot tub.

[maroon_eyez]

Yeah protein.. will get these.. i dont have a tub.. just hot shower i guess

[mandyfire98]

That can work. Ice and heat can help
