Consider a dynamic warm-up routine before lifting as well. Personally, I recover faster and with less soreness if I do a general and semi-specific dynamic warm-up as opposed to some random stuff here and there beforehand. If you're still sore during recovery, as much as it completely sucks, try to get up and move around to where you break a light sweat at some point. Keeping the muscles warm and the blood flowing will help flush out the toxins causing the soreness. Alternating-temperature baths/showers are fun, too.
