Deadlifts/Squats and hamstrings

my hamstrings are often sore after DLs and squats, I'm wondering how I should go about handling the problem.

stretch before exercise and after?
stretch only the days after in which they're sore?
just leave them rest?

Wouldn't worry too much, happens us all, nae danger.

1.Dynamic stretch before, static stretch after.
2.Stretch any days you like. It's good for you!
3.Rest them if you want as well

Sometimes, if I'm feeling that I don't be digging the soreness, I'll do the same workout the next day, roughly speaking, with only the bar as a weight. It gets the blood going, and tends to get rid of the pain. It works for me.

Called DOMS .. Research it ..

Most workouts should cause it, but legs are the easiest to get them with

Cardio works too. I prefer mimicking the moves that got me there in the first place to get me out.

I just started my PL Program, and I'm experiencing the same thing as you. It may sound weird but I kinda like it, although walking up and down stairs is no fun.

Do very light exercises (20-30 rep sets) that target the sore areas. Bands and dumbells are preferable to barbells in my experience. Use very light weights, the sets should not be challening, but simply give you a slight "pump" in the muscle.

Try 60 reps for small muscle groups, and 80-100 reps for large muscle groups

And please dont go to failure or to a point where you are straining yourself.

It's supposed to be for active recovery, not an endurance workout.

OMG, did Carnal just use the words "pump in the muscle"?

LOL
