Thanks to the lawyers uh, I marbled the foyer
Cold shower and Voltaren
I think it’s just regular muscle soreness.
It’ll go away but I walked ten miles yesterday. I’ll just rest today.

We squat everyday word to @son of goku or whatever ya changed name to take the pain 
The more often you squat, the less intense delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) tends to be. I squat three times a week, so I usually only feel soreness for about five minutes after a workout.
If you’re just starting out or only squatting once a week, expect DOMS to last anywhere from 24 to 72 hours.
Hydrotherapy such as taking a long bath to soak can help with muscle inflammation/soarness
Deadlifts are more taxing on the body and typically shouldn’t be done more than once a week, especially when you’re starting out. As you get more consistent in the gym, this might change, but proceed with caution.
Deadlifts are all about heavy weight and low reps. It’s not the kind of lift you should be doing 10 reps or 10 sets of. How much you can handle will depend on your experience level.
A common issue with deadlifts is lower back pain, which usually points to bad form. Many people lift too much with their back instead of their legs, even though deadlifts are primarily a leg-focused movement. Poor technique or underdeveloped supporting muscles in the lower back can lead to injury.
Deadlifts are one of the most common exercises where people hurt themselves usually by overusing their back instead of engaging their legs properly. Don’t take them lightly.
TLDR:
If you’re squatting consistently,at least twice a week,your post-workout leg soreness will become much more manageable. Also taking a nice long warm bath will also help.

A hot bath and rest is all you need.
Don’t make any excuses to skip the gym.
And especially don’t skip leg day.A hot bath and rest is all you need.
That’s what separates the boys from the men.
If you prefer leg press over squats, you might as well sit down while you pee.

Yep NOTHING can replace squats. I was scared of squats at first too but then I just manned up and worked on my form and now I squat ass to grass. It's the best shyt ever. My fav exercise out of the big 3 lifts is the bench press though.
