Gym LEG DAY!

[fizzy0]

Hello all!

When do you mofos hit leg day? Im struggling, not with leg day but coping with the "New Born Giraffe Syndrome" we all know the pain after leg day, I work 7 Days a weeks and drive most of this time, even pressing in the clutch is hassle and sometimes I cant even press it!

Ease up on the workout? soak in the bath? deep heat?

even walking is a nightmare, and stairs! lets not even go there,

I was carrying some stuff and my legs gave way couldnt stand up so people had to come over and help me (my pride )

anyway, tips and advice is greatly appreciated

thank you please

I find not bothering to go to a gym works wonders..

I'd recommend you change your diet to include a lot more MTFU, and cut back on the gay slightly - just try being gay on alternate days instead of all the time.

A wise man does legs on a Monday, because it is well known that across the land, and indeed nations, Monday to most Bros is universal chest day, so squat racks and the like are deserted.

Generally unless you a breaking PBs week after week and lifting big (200kg+ squat) then after a week or two your leg muscles adapt to the extra load and DOMs eases off to the point you can do a full leg workout and feel minimum discomfort afterwards, at least in my experience.

I've started doing sumo deadlifts monday, with the next leg workout being friday with HIIT (sprinting my cunt off).

I do push ups and crunhes Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri. Do squats Tuesdays and Sundays.

I don't ever work out hard enough to injure myself... so what the hell are you doing?

Pretty much just mtfu.

Started in Oct, pretty pleased gone from 110 deadlift to 160 and 130 squat to 170, my legs tend to get doms far less than other parts, but then again i'm short and have legs like tree trunks.

^^ that squat increase is big in 2 months, are you doing proper squats or the " ive bent my knee 3 inches" squat.

[_Will_]

It's most likely going from a year out of any sort of training back into regular working out, definitely not half arsed inch squats.

Was thinking that too; but realised I'd done about the same. Started again at some point in October on 100* and now at 137.5 (5RM).
(*Less than my max I could do then I'm sure, but hadn't done anything properly for some time, so went down a bit.)

Also - Deadlift lower than Squat? Vast majority of people it's a chunk higher.

First time I did it again, I nearly feel over when I jumped down a 2' drop and realised my legs barely worked, but they were fine after that.

Ah, fair enough. Towards the end of last year I was doing a fair bit of climbing which probably helps me there (though grip was always my issue when climbing - haven't bothered recently because with the extra flab I've put on, I'll just get frustrated.)

I train my legs all the time, then u don't get "sore" as such very often, need to do legs more than than twice, my legs get hammed without the gym though to be honest with work and my general lanky legged life. But at the gym just do light legs, light lunges and box jumps..dead lifts pound my legs dont like sqauts im to tall, thank you please

I've found that being a fat bastard is the best way to train your legs. I've always had massive muscley pegs so I never bother with them when I do manage to go to the gym (on the very rare occasions).
The muscle first built up when I had a paper round in my early teens, so my way of doing leg way would have been a ton of cycling with a heavy load and lots of hills.

I train three times a week. I do lunges, squats, jump squats, explosive lunges etc. I don't use weight, just my own bodyweight. I'm happy with the strength in my legs without having to use weights. I've never got to the stage where I'm in pain the next day, but I have drastically improved the strength in my legs.

Sounds like most of you are overdoing it TBH.

When I googled that, I just got stuff about, well, a pole .

However, yes; if it involves standing up from a squat loads of times in a row, then you've got a decent way to practice it!

Likelyhood is that more strength actually would increase your endurance too, however - ie, if you could double the amount of extra weight you can lift, each individual action would be less taxing to your muscles.

I haven't trained for over a month because of a trapped nerve, i'm not looking forward to the first day after i start my training again, so trying to be smart, i'm going to start it again when i'll have time off over xmas, this way i'll be resting nicely while eating. alot.
