    At the start of a new program, you'll need longer recovery (I do, anyway). After a couple of sessions of it, my recovery times reduce.

    If training every day, don't exercise the same muscle groups in each session. Do back/biceps/shoulders in one, quads/hams/calves in another (for example).

    As Dave said sleep is the vital element in any recovery. You can try all the supplementation in the world but without sleep it's useless. I'll sometimes use deep heat or tiger balm if I'm particularly sore but that's more as a treatment than a preventative measure.

    Things like ice baths etc.. are pointless unless you're an elite athelete.
