I am curious of what you guys do when doing leg exercises and the recovery that comes with it?
I do my squats pretty heavy and try to train legs once a week. It seems that everytime I hit legs its as if I have never worked that part of my body before and i will have trouble walking straight for the next 3-4 days. Its super painfull in the morning and Is there anything I can do to ease the pain? Maybe I should hit them twice a week? |

Normal and I have been training for 12+ years. I take hot baths quite a bit. Be sure to stretch before and after.

well I wouldn't really complain but it interferes with my work and since I do some construction like work its really tough climbing 20foot ladders after a day of legs hah.
I stretch before but not after and will give it a shot next time...sometimes i take hot showers too but ... it seems not to do much for me. thanx man .

Also, if your going up in reps or weight to the bar every week, there is no reason to start training legs 2ice a week. Its funny. I get sore quads for 5 days but it does not bother me in the least. I guess I like it.

do some stretching after your leg workout and on off days--keep your potassiums intake fairly high--eat banana after your workout, it seems to help a little bit, but leg soreness is just something you are going to have to deal with.
