[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 341627, member: 34990"] Ice, ice (baby) - Ice (or at least cold) as soon after as you can. Also 'contrast' showers, so put it on the coldest, then switch to hot, then cold, then hot. that can help too. People claim that compression helps as well. I've never really tried any apart from calf/shin compression socks for during/after running but they seem to help. However the full leg tights things are pretty pricey, and it could just be marketing talk/companies paying the stars to say they work (Jonathan Thurston always crops up on Skins adverts singing their praises) A decent amount of stretching before and after can help too, and getting protein into you as soon as possible after so that they have fuel to start fixing themselves. However DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) is pretty much inevitable if you're working hard in the gym, so is pretty hard to avoid unfortunately, as muscles break down while working out, so will be sore afterwards while they're fixing themselves.
