I made a mistake this morning. You see, I have a Karate Tournament tomorrow (Sat the 23rd), which I'm fighting in. I was going to lift extra light weights so as not to be sore or stiff tomorrow. Well, it didn't happen that way, the light weights started burning, and I just had to finish the sets and reps. I guess I'm stubborn that way. Now my biceps and triceps are kinda rubbery. Can anyone make a suggestion as to how to avoid some soreness?

Thank you for your time.

ice therapy, and, if you can, some sort of NSAID. keep your food intake and supplementation up as well.

hope that helps, and good luck tomorrow!

Non-Steriodal Anti-Inflamitory Drug... products such as ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen sodium, ketoprofen, etc. These will reduce pain, inflamation, and help keep the swelling down.
