Personally... After gym... have a HOT shower, and JUSt before you get out, put the water on cold! It helps alot for me with stiffness. Or if you bath... Put brown Vinegar in the bath water.

Stretching is also vital!

L-Glutamine

Give it a shot, you're only TESTing it...

10g glutamine 3x a day is always good, also adding creatine to your pre or post work out carbs in order to help hydrate the muscles more,loads of water during training 2-3l is good amount...

Also try do some soft tissue work with a lacrose ball, foam rollers and bands. Use ice packs every now and then too if a certain bodypart is taking a while to recover as well. And if you can, try do some active recovery like sled drags, prowler pushes or even hill sprints.

What you put in, is what you get out
