 Your living your dream buddy, never forget that! Member 1873, 923 posts SQ 260, BP 165, DL 335760.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | What does everyone do on their days off from training? Do you use active recovery techniques (cardio, foam rolling, light weights) or do you use passive recovery (sitting on your ass and eating). Also what is the best thing you use to relieve DOMS? | ||

 some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | The terms are meant to be used when recovering from repeated bouts of exercise in a session. That aside I get stretching, rolling and general mobility to recovery from a session and prepare for the next one. Here the focus is on recovery of movment pattersn not muscle tissue itself. There may be overlap though. | ||

 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | If I am really sore after training I do light stuff on the affected area of the body then stretch, use foam roller and use a thumper. | ||

Member 1093, 5446 posts SQ 160, BP 105, DL 225490.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | I tend to favour sitting down, drinking smoking, wanking, playing Xbox and putting off doing the washing up. Although I'm as weak as a newly born kitten with a muscle wasting disease, so I wouldn't adopt this approach unless I was me, which of course I am, so I do. | ||

 Sports an extremely muscular arse.

Soreness doesn't always mean you can't go again and perhaps even set a PR. | ||

 Trophy Hunter Member 743, 3329 posts SQ 230, BP 130, DL 300660.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | a good proper warm up like this before every session and a decent cool down plus foam rolling every session means im very rarely sore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaR72bpjSa4 | ||

 my face was on fire Member 494, 2394 posts SQ 250, BP 150, DL 320720.0 kgs @ 150kgs UnEq | I cycle about 8 miles every day I am at work which is always days I don't train. I very rarely get sore and enjoy it when I do as I know I worked hard the day before. I rarely foam roll but do stretch quite a bit generally out of boredom at work | ||
