leg stiffness
i trained my legs with a new program the other day. which included
smith machine deadlifts
hack squat
wide leg press
seated calf raises
leg curls
leg extensions
12, 10, 8, 6, 12, 10, 8, 6 repetitions on all excercises with 1 min recovery between sets.
my legs were pretty stiff straight after, the day after they were more stiff and two days after i could barely walk after 3-4 days they had pretty much recovered.
Am i doing too much? or is the pain just part of the process?

"Strength is the product of struggle"
"Your greatest challenge isn't another person. Its the burning in your lungs and the burning in your legs, its the voice in your head screaming STOP you cant do anymore. But you dont listen. You push harder and you start to hear a the whisper of YOU CAN. You realize you are not the person you thought you were is no match for the person you are."

just a bit stiff nothing serious, just a bit more intense and longer lasting than usual probably just because i havent trained my legs for a while.

I agree. Why on earth would you do deadlifts on a smith machine?

Although soreness is common, particularly after a leg session, I feel your volume is way too high. There is no need to be doing almost 50 sets in a single session unless it a temporary loading period. I would suggest implementing a deloading period where you either abstain from lifting or come nowhere near failure and cut the volume way way down. When you return, cut out the second wave of the pyramid.
Also, lose the smith deads. Do some real deadlifts. You can't lockout a smith deadlift properly which severely reduces the range of motion for scapular retraction/elevation, somewhat for spinal extension, and the potential to slightly inhibit hip extension.The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Thanks for the feedback. What about recovery between sets, is 1 min ok?
