Ok, So I've been looking over the forums and can't seem to find what I'm looking for, I have seen a few things though and I will point them out in this post.
Ok, I've been lifting weights for about a year now, sometimes twice a day, 6 days a week.
So, I'm not exactly new to working out.
This past wednesday, I wen't to my first ever class at a local MMA gym by my house and I loved it.
But, my body doesn't love it. I was totally blown out of the water by how my body responded pain wise to the 2 hours of intense MMA workouts. I knew I would hurt a little bit, but it's been 48 hours now and I feel like a 90 year old man and I'm only 24.
I'm somewhat out of shape (6'2'', 245lbs, about 24-26% body fat), I mean I haven't done anything this intense since high school.
Anyone have any tips on how to alleviate this muscle fatigue/pain?
I did some searching here and creatine came up a lot, but I don't know anything about it. Would that help speed up the muscle fatigue recovery process?
I know that with time, after training, the pain will go away faster and faster (in general), but that'll be a while.
I tried contrasting showers too, from hot to cold and that helped somewhat but it was just a temporary fix.
Help, I'm walking like a old man, hahaha!
