take a cold shower or ice bath. also shake your thighs to get the latic acid out, drink tons of water, and STRETCH BEFORE AND AFTER EXERCISE (MOST IMPORTANT) and continue to exercise every week. don't give up, not being able to get off the shitter been there done that but your body get used to working out and your legs/ muscles won't stiffen up anymore.

solid advice

Actually, if you read the articles posted earlier it's the opposite of solid advice. Besides the obvious encouragement to keep exercising of course

or just don't exercise, they'll have pill for that soon enough!

You're the problem, not the solution.

never said it was a solution, was just an option.

Stop using branwallets

They say that eating protein after you work out will help your muscles repair faster which will decrease soreness.

It's both right. You have the increase in lactate concentration which causes the immediate soreness after training which disappears rather quickly and there's the microruptures in tissue which causes the soreness experienced in DOMS 24 hours later.

I am not a very active guy but on yesterday I went to the gym and every other part of my body is fine APART from my thighs! they still kill, i cant bend over without them hurting?

After exercising a lot, a certain acid develops near your muscles.

That acid being lactic acid.

Thanks for naming it. I know how it's called in my native language but not in english.

You are wrong, lactic acid is not what cause that.

An earlier theory posited that DOMS is connected to the build-up of lactic acid in the blood, which was thought to continue being produced following exercise. This build-up of lactic acid was thought to be a toxic metabolic waste product that caused the perception of pain at a delayed stage. This theory has been largely rejected, as concentric contractions which also produce lactic acid have been unable to cause DOMS.[12] Additionally, lactic acid is known from multiple studies to return to normal levels within one hour of exercise, and therefore can't cause the pain that occurs much later.[13]

Wrong.

During power exercises such as sprinting, when the rate of demand for energy is high, glucose is broken down and oxidized to pyruvate, and lactate is produced from the pyruvate faster than the tissues can remove it, so lactate concentration begins to rise.

Any work above 70% intensity usually results in lactic acid build-up, but any pro-longed exercise will eventually result in lactic acid also.

From a scientific perspective that is a completely meaningless statement. How much lactic acid will build up and in what concentration?. What effect will this have? How quickly is it removed or neutralized? What concentration threshold must be reached for any negative effects to be experienced (pain?).

A lot of people think that 'acid = bad' because of a poor understanding of chemistry and/or the world around them, neglecting the fact that the human body contains countless acidic substances that perform a multitude of tasks either directly or indirectly or form as a by-product of other processes. Saying exercise will result in lactic acid buildup is almost meaningless even if it is true.

It also means you did a bit too much.

Not necessarily. It just means he might have done more than what his muscles are used to. Common with new exercises, working out for the first time, or pushing past a previous limit. If he just began running, or ran further than before, its just soreness from muscles doing work.

Thats totally normal, Just means you need to exercise your thighs more then the rest of your body until they stop getting sore.

It's Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. It's a usual reaction for the untrained. The worst pain will be at about 24 hours after the workout, then it'll diminish.

The severity of DOMS will gradually lessen as you get more experience with exercise. It will never go away entirely but it will be more "pleasant", as strange as that sounds. With time you will learn to expect, even to crave the feeling.

It will hurt for a while but as you do more regular exercise then after a workout you will get a pleasant-exhausted feeling in your muscles, I wouldn't call it 'pain'. If I run a few kilometers it feels really great stretching afterwards.
