Hey,

You should figure out why you are feeling "sore" in the first place...It could be because you aren't warming up properly, to get the muscles ready for the heavy work you are unloading on them. It could be because you are attempting too heavy of a weight. It could be because you are using far too many reps and are breaking down the muscles too much with high reps, when you would be better suited to keep your reps down and your weight up. As some other posters have said, you may just need to adjust your post work out shake/supplements.

Can you list your work outs that are causing this pain? When you feel pain after a work out, it's not actually the muscles hurting. It's everything else (tears in the joints/ligaments/tendons). It's okay to have a little muscle tear in these areas, but you need to be able to tell the difference between a minor tear and a major injury. I should know, when I was a begginer at BB I tore the tendon right off of the inside of my right elbow. It swole to the size of an orange and I was such a work out fanatic that I just lowered my weights and kept on working out. (mistakenly thinking I had simply over worked the injury).

If you are just feeling an over all body ache after working out, it's most likely just your body getting used to the new trauma you are forcing on it. You will adapt and the pain will go down.

Remember, your body knows better than all of us (even the more advanced experts on here) so learning to read it is the most valuable tool you can ever have.

Keep us posted.
