I did a leg workout again yesterday. It had been five days since I had done one. I know that you are really supposed to wait a full week, but I am not sure that I would be able to get one in this week because of my schedule. Did I do more harm than good?     | ||

If your legs were not sore when you did the workout it should not really be a problem. Try to do each muscle once every 7 days. But if your schedule does not allow then make the mecessary adjustments to your workout always remembering not to work out a sore muscle. Glad to see you are sticking with it. ------------------ | ||

The soreness was gone, otherwise I would not have done the workout. Not that I am so wise in that department, I just wouldn't want to hurt more than I had to  I normally wait the full week, but my schedule is so hectic this week, that I wanted to make sure that I got my leg workout in.Yes, I am sticking with it because I have seen the results so far from what I have been doing, and I feel like I have accomplished so much. I don't want to give that feeling up. Thanks for your input. | ||

Personally, my legs respond best when I train them twice in a cycle (my current cycle is 7 days). If you are getting adequate nutrition, rest, and train hard then you should be good to go. ------------------ | ||

The ladies are correct...I sometimes have to jocky my training schedule around too to fit it all in. Flexibity is key sometimes. I think you did fine. Now Bmom, quit telling me you train legs 2x a week and that it works well for you. Damn it, I might have to try that!! ------------------ | ||

Well now that you're chemically enhanced, so to speak (hehe) push yourself to the limit! I find that if I train legs (focusing on quads ie front squats, seated leg press, extensions, and squeezing the quads between sets...FC told me to do this, it's supposed to help get quad separation....YES, IT DOES) and then a couple days later focusing on hammies, rear squats, ALP, step-ups, lying and seated hamstring curls, SLDL, and lunges - I have seen TREMENDOUS changes in my overall leg development. Of course, don't neglect those calves either! Give it a shot and let me know what you think! ------------------ | ||

Thanks for the input ladies. I wanted to make sure that I had not screwed up. It is nice to know that I didn't. |
