BTW, some GENTLE quad stretching and some light activity may help alleviate some of the pain and get back the range of motion.

Hi again,

Its a bit embarrasing but I could only manage the two sets of 10 and didnt continue as I dont have a squat rack and towrds the end of the second set I was in danger of not being able to stand up from the squat so called it a day.
As for what did I eat afterwards..um nothing I didnt know I was meant to. I know I dont know wtf I am doing so just put up with me for now please.
Thanks..Tim

Tim, first admitting you do not have all the information is a good start especially since you will get a lot of help here. Second, when doing squats reduce the amount of weight to where you can complete all of your sets doing 10-15 reps leaving some in the tank like Eric recommended (extremely good advice).

You will recover from the DOMS, but what does your diet look like and supplementation (if any). Having this information will allow us to better guide you. Good luck to you.

It's important to have some protein and carbs right after a workout. 40g protein ( whey ) and 60g carbs ( maltodextrin ) is what I take. Unless your on a AD and cant have carbs THen have a good meal about 1.5hrs after.... Like Eric said , it may not prevent the soreness, but your muscles need the nutrients once they have been broken down.

BTW , if I go over two weeks (which I try not to do) without squatting anything ,then I will be sore when I do squat...
