Quad Soreness getting worse!!!

I have been doing a legs day the past 4 weeks. I had some soreness after doing leg press.. This past week for EXTRA precaution i stretched out BEFORE and AFTER the routine and still my quads are killing me. I did 360 lbs to top it off about 8 times.. And i feel worse than i did my first week where i peaked at much less.. What is wrong?

If you think that's bad, try squatting.

No matter how often I do legs, they are always sore afterwards.

Mine used to be a lot more sore when I was just starting to work out. After a while, they were still sore, but my movement wasn't really restricted very much and by the next day it was just minor soreness.

stretching a cold muscle is pointless save it for post workout. how you stretch is just as important as the types of stretches that you perform. you should stretch out your lower body in this order:

#1 - low back
#2 - buttock
#3 - groin
#4 - calfs
#5 - hamstrings
#6 - quads

Stretching before a workout robs the muscle of some function, and it's not a good idea to stretch a cold muscle. Think of stretching cold taffy - if you don't do it right, you can snap it (or stretch it to far) or whatever.

Donuts is correct. I remember reading an article that explains that stretching before a workout can not only damage your muscles, but also rob you of performance (you won't be able to lift as much or as intensively). Just make sure your muscles are warm when you stretch, and it's always a good idea to wait until after you've used those particular muscles to stretch them so you're not robbed of that performance.
