I am experiencing severe DOMS today after doing L&G Sunday, upper body split + abs Monday, and KPC today. I can barely move! I was just wondering what everyone does (if anything) to alleviate muscle soreness.
Actually I've found that LIGHT cardio/stretching followed by Vicks Vaporub and mild heat applications always manages to work wonders for me.

I personally will take a rest day if it is really really bad, just some stretching and a hot tub and call it good. If it is bad but I can still move I will do a light cardio or just go for a good walk. Usually more exercise is all that will get me warmed up and moving well again.
I had major DOMS after doing GSL for the first time last week. I did yoga and pilates abs the next day and wasn't as sore. Definitely stretch somewhat.
Same advice here too I guess,
I always stretch, then take a hot bath and massage as many as the sore muscles as I can. I doesn't knock the pain out completely but definitely lessons the degree.
It's a continuing process.....
