Muscle Recovery

I am pretty sure SORENESS is an experience everyone goes through. Some of us more than others.  It is a normal experience post-workout. Should it happen after every workout? No. But part of the time? Yes.  So when it comes to the muscle recovery process, we need to know some things to help us battle the soreness.  Especially when it is post-leg-day soreness (i.e. waddling around like a penguin & being in anguish while trying to pop a squat on the toilet seat).
