How long have you been going to the gym? Are you eating enough protein after? Try also eating oily fish - it helps with DOMS.

"These data indicate FO or ISO, at the doses supplemented, were not effective in ameliorating DOMS with the above-cited protocol."

"Other supplements that don’t appear to reduce DOMS include topical arnica, fish oil, and glutamine. This may surprise you because fish oil and glutamine are well known for aiding recovery."

So, what are people's thoughts on gym/weights vs on bike work (i.e., low cadence stuff) for building leg strength?
I do some gym sessions for core and legs but only 1 or 2 times a week and so don't know if that's frequent enough to get the gains? It does make my legs feel in tatters though which suggests something good is coming of it. Knackers my riding the next day a bit though....:-/
My recent training has lead to a pleasing increase in cadence, but i feel like my already scrawny legs are losing strength by the day!
