Well you can look into pre and post workout nutrtion. I doubt very much that would have prevented soreness. No nutritional strategies have really been shown to consistently help. It's most probably a reaction to muscle damage. And you're not going to undo that with a carbohydrate or an antioxidant or whatever all though it will help with recovery and replenish gycogen, etc.

Another thing is you may not have warmed up properly. If you launch right into a heavyish squatting session with cold muscles then they will simply accumulate more damage and so you will be more sore.

The biggest thing is that you simply increased intensity a whole lot right off the bat without any time to get used to it. You should have picked a weight you could do easily for a couple sets and then built on that for a couple three weeks. That way you would acclimate to it and get much more out of it versus being disabled by such severe soreness that you can't workout.

This should make you realize how little you were actually doing before, though, despite all the reps.

In the future when you recieve initial advice you should probably go back and ask more specific questions based on that advice. For this you just kinda went in half-cocked without any guidelines. But it's not that big a deal...you'll be fine!

Widdoes was posting at the same time as me, btw.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
