OMG.. coming back from a layoff

Brian Link · 2005-07-12T05:36:52+00:00

Four days in a row.. 50%, 60%, 70% and tonight 80%. I seem not to have lost much strength, but I've moved from about 10% bodyfat to 16% bodyfat during my 4 month layoff (never spent much time with diet, since I've been vigorous in my workouts and successful). Luckily, my body seems to be pretty responsive to workouts. But holy [censored] - what a plate of pain I've been served coming back. It's at the point where I can tell what muscles I've worked by which ones scream with pain. Most major muscle groups are complaining, which is a pain in the ass but at least instructive. So far I've ignored the lactose-induced pain, but does anyone have some suggestions for supplements that might reduce the pain a bit? The biggest thing has been re-introducing the lower-body exertions.. Squats - my groin, hams and psoas are really complaining a lot, and that interferes with basic operations like walking or standing.. The same is true with Good-Mornings and Calf-lifts. I realize this is not damage to these areas, but simple lactose issues, afaik. God, it hurts to stand and walk - though I'm not crippled by any stretch. it's just a pain in the ass. My opinion is that it's just a matter of sucking it up. If there are any supplements that can help with the lactose issues, I'd be happy to hear about them. BLink

DOMS does not appear to be caused by lactose, if that's what you're
talking about.

If he satisfies his oral fixation by lifting cows to drink directly from
the udders...well...I guess as long as the cows don't mind and he has
the farmers permission, who am I to judge?

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:

Muscle sorenes is on topic. Lactose is questionable out of the OP's
context. Retarded acronym games are off topic. But enjoyable. Kinda like
