Things you can do to avoid sore muscles, scientifically known as DOMS, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness:

Stretching-Dynamic stretching (stretching requires active movement, rather than static stretching) before your workout will help your muscles warm up to exercise, and reduce soreness. Static stretching after your workout is even more important to prevent soreness, make sure to stretch slowly and controlled for up to 15 seconds in each stretch position.

Massage- soothes the tense muscles

Sauna/Hot Tub/Bath- like the massage, this will help after a workout to relax your tensed muscles. You can even add Epson salts to your bath to enhance your experience!

You can't prevent them but you can relieve some of the soreness. Soreness is generally due to lactic acid buildup. To stop this buildup stretching and icing after weight training will help. Stretching and being flexible will not only reduce soreness but also reduce the chance for injury.

Why do your muscles feel sore after training?

Why are you weaker the second time weight training?

This is because the first time you do weight training your muscles are just getting used to the contraction and expansion from using weights. The second time you do it, you are typically going to be sore. Although being sore, shows that your muscles have been working right when you were using weights. The soreness is what makes you feel weaker.

Should you still get sore from weight training after several months?

== Yes, this is totally normal. Sore muscles means your muscles are stretching and are developing, therefore meaning that they are getting bigger and growing. It does depend on how much work you're doing - if you are very steadily building up the amount of lifting you're doing, then you shouldn't have too many aches or pains. If you suddenly do extra work or lift heavier weights then you may find yourself becoming sore.

What the symptoms of weight training?

The only short-term response to proper weight training that you are likely to notice is DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness), which you will probably experience a day or two after training. (To ensure systemic recovery, it is important to wait one or two days after all DOMS has disappeared before training again.)Your skeletal muscles, bones, and connective tissues (ligaments and tendons) will all benefit from proper weight training. If you are also eating well and getting sufficient rest, you may actually be able to see changes in the mirror in a few months.
