Can hardly walk ... help ...

[nicky007]

I trained legs on Wednesday (2 days ago) and I am having serious difficulty walking. My quads and hams tense with every step and its especially worse if I have been sitting. Trained upper yestrday and that too is limp! Question - is there anything I can do, take or not do to ease the pain and speed up recovery? Also does this pain mean my muscles will be stronger when I have receovered and are their ways to maximise gains?

I was like that after my first leg day on the 5x5.
Did 300lbs calf raise (like squats but you use only your calfs to raise and lower)
The next morning i couldn't stand up straight....
it was rough

my legs are sore for about 6 days usually, i think it's because of how intense my squats are, it feels damn good though i love the pain, i think creatine cuts down on soreness for myself, try that
