or bench etc at the gym, has anyone started flexing like a madman.

I was squatting last night and got a great pump.......it was one of those awesome workouts you have, so i felt so good i rolled my shorts up to the top of my thigh and started flexing my 170 pounds for all it was worth. I threw in a thigh-over-ab, side chest and the one where you put your hands to your outside thigh and flex.

I gritted my teeth as i was flexing just to seem like i was really pumped up and shit. There were not that many people around at the time, but there was a girl doing some swiss ball exercises and she was standing there looking at me with a bemused look on her face. When i stopped flexing she picked her towell up and walked off with a 'you're a weirdo' look on her face, lol.

lol

I wll admit to popping a quad shot in the gym upon occasion.....not after traing though as it locks up - lol

what do ya'll do next few days after a leg workout? i'm seriously handicapped for four days afterward. i deserve a parking sticker from all the limping i do.

for real, it can get really annoying just to walk around. monday is legs. today is thursday and they are still sore to the touch. just tapping them and it hurts.

do you guys have a tips or magic tricks for them not to be as sore.

Ener-G (G-Plenish) Seems to work well.

I lift at home and flex sometimes between sets. I have a huge wall mirror. Flexing tires me out so I save it for after a workout, but then I`m really tired from the whole workout so I don`t really do it. So yes and no. Maybe after a particular bodypart is finished.

Take care.

Yeah I've seen other people do that and laughed at them. Overtly.

On the other hand when I rip out a tough set I break into a very intense stare, and begin a very inspired and quick running man dance. A la M.C. Hammer in many of his videos. When I'm really pumped I'll throw in one of those fish flopping on the floor dances.

That's because you're old.

i guess no one besides myself works hard on legs.

gotta blast those bis.

i do legs twice a week. monday box squats and seated calves (and need to throw in some leg curls on mnday), Wednesday 5x5 squats, stiff leg deads, and calves. i work my legs pretty damn hard, but i'm not crippled for long. the worse part of my leg workout is calves, because whether i do them seated or standing, it's 5x15 and not much rest inbetween sets.

sometimes after a leg workout, walking up the stairs to a class or in the library is a challenge, but regular walking is no big deal.

and vinylgroover - damn straight 170lbs can look good, depending on your height. at my short 5'6", i don't look too bad at 170 (minus the little around the middle i still need to lose )

I hit legs 3x in 2 weeks, and I used to be sore as hell until I really took my stretching seriously. It's night and day when I stretch after my workout and when I don't. If I don't I'm feeling it for days and I'm all stiff walking around.

Do you do this with other bodyparts and does it work for them too? Are you able to recover faster or is the soreness just diminished? Are you Gai?

 

[Buddy_Christ]

i don't stretch after, but i do stretch a lot during. that seems to help me a lot.

i'm actually guilty of a lack of a lot of stretching lately. need to do it more.
