I've recently started lifting again after a long layoff, nice for me, but the problem is, the next day I'm much more sore and stiff then I was back in the day.
Are there any legal supplements that can help to alleviate that initial stiffness? I've tried Creatine and didn't care for it, I've been using Ripped Fuel and it's "okay" but not much better then aspirin for the stiffness.
Any suggestions?

Typically I drink a gallon and half of water a day though, that is why I'm looking for a supplement to help make it over the initial hump.
The mind is thinking "three sets, one until failure" the body is saying it doesn't think so...:sad: -
Usually if I take a break then start back again, I get the initial soreness for about a week or two then it's gone... Did you like just start within the past week or two??

No worries though, I "think" I've found what I was searching for. -
42 days until Training Camp opens, I'm at 49 inches in the chest and 16 and 16.5 on my arms and 19 inches on my neck.
I'm trying to get to 52/17.o and 18 inches...should be fun, -
Fairly standard one, mostly large doses of amino acids and vitamins, no ephedra or even white whillow bark.
When I was lifting seriously my chest was maybe '54 inches or so, but 41 days is not enough time for that sort of growth. -
It's worked for me, one of the reasons why I stopped lifting was my elbows were in bad shape (long story) since I've been taking supplements and lifting light weights, they've come back, granted it was mostly huge doses of crystal Vitamin C that I credit for the turnaround, but the other supplement has helped as well.

Well, 52.5/17.5 and 17/19 on the neck.
Not terrible, but I worked out maybe 3 times a week which was not quite enough, I'm happy with the results.
