Just remember your muscles don't build from working out, they actually get tore up working out. When they heal, they heal slightly stronger than before. You can still work out if you are sore, but it's not as productive as starting from a full rest. Plenty of protein in your diet will decrease the amount of time it takes to heal. Carbs will improve your stamina. Green vegetables, like the ones that contain potassium and magnesium will reduce cramping (but most cramping is from dehydration)

Don't neglect legs, do squats as frequently as you can, there are growth hormones you body produces naturally that activate with lower body exercise and this will make all your workouts more productive.

Try to break up your workouts to focus on major muscle groups, so when one group is in recovery mode you can tear up a different one. Also research reciprocal muscle groups so you can do exercises that stretch one muscle while another is working, such as rows that stretch your chest while your lats and back are doing the bulk of the work, etc. That way you can save time from doing dedicated stretching without losing any flexibility.
