Legs Going Crazy

pumpthatiron · 09-28-2004, 09:24 PM

I did a VERYYYYYYYYY intense workout for legs yesterday which included crazy lunges and squats and stuff and today i can't even walk. it takes me 2 minutes to sit down or get up from a chair and it hurts a lot. it's not injury pain it's INTENSE sore pain... should i take tylenol to relieve the pain?

How about you suck it up?

pumpthatiron · 09-28-2004, 09:51 PM

sounds like you over trained to me...

Would an epsom soap bath help?

tjwes · 09-28-2004, 10:09 PM

Cowboy up bro,it`s all part of the game.

Just hope you don`t get a severe case of DOMS and be sore for days!!

You made a basic mistake. You over trained for your level. Get a trainer or some help from one of these people. I've done it too pump. You ever pull or over train a hamstring? Life is not good after that for a long time. Use your head and use the resources here at IM.

When magnesium (Epsom Salt) sulfate is absorbed through the skin, such as in a bath, it draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling, relaxes muscles, is a natural emollient, exfoliator, and much more.

so BC, what do u suggest? isn't it a good thing that i worked out hard? I thought the more sore the better.. can u please tell me what i'm doing wrong

pumpthatiron · 09-28-2004, 10:59 PM

Did you stretch your legs out thoroughly after the training session ?

My little bro came over for a visit the other day. He came with his skateboard. I havent skateboarded in over 6 yrs.
Needless to say, my legs are hurting

Stretching and bodybuilding go hand in hand.... the more flexible a muscle is the more efficiently it works throughout the ROM...

Any specific stretching suggestions? i dont stretch, but maybe i should start. For a while now, i have a constant soreness on the area above my knees and a bit in my knees as well. Maybe i should take a break?
