>>260343 Stretching doesn't fix it, and also never stretch cold muscles, only stretch after a warmup or best just after your whole workout.
To greatly reduce Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) for beginners, I have heard doing one set of reps with about half the weight you are planning on using for your actual sets first. It gets the muscles used to the motions you are about to do and warms them up a bit.
I did this after a bad run-in with DOMS when I restarted my strength training recently, and I've not had intense soreness since, just a good feeling healthy amount of soreness.
