Newfag to lifting here
How am I supposed to make any progress if I still have DOMS 4 days after a workout?
Eat more, sleep more and lift more.
Keep lifting your body will get used to it after a week. If it doesn't your lifting too heavy. Also eat more.

I still work out but I do light weight and warm up well. Eventually you won't get doms that severe
If you go workout you wont be sore anymore.

don't go so heavy if you're new to the exercise or even using the muscle. lift to 70% of failure for a few weeks then step it up
not op but recently starting doing squats with almost twice the weight
legs have recovered except in side of my legs are extremely sore(injury type sore not dom) where hip flexers are? like on the side of cock
:/
what isthis

You fool. Gotta ramp up slowly on squats. Form matters more than weight

my form was really good though!
pic related. what do? rest for agez?

Stretch that shit. Foam roll. I get that too
Eat more, drink more (water) and rest more.
Try to go for a walk / run at some point during the day.
Eventually DOMS will become less and less of an issue, but you should always have a bit of muscle soreness after exercising with weights.
Be careful not to over do it, there's a bit difference between muscle tenderness and pain in ligaments etc..

how to stretch inside of there?
>>40652999
Those are your hip muscles; the problem could be one or both of the following: flexibility, muscular strength/endurance
Just stretch out after a warm up and before a workout and make sure that all of your movements are controlled and deliberate.

start in a lunge position with your right knee on the floor and your left leg forward; push with the ball of your right foot and you should feel it in your right hip flexor; switch and stretch the left
