Day after LEG workout.

[esteveze]

UFFF.. girls!!!
As I posted yesterday my leg workout was great!!.
But this morning 5:00am I was not able to move. My legs were killing me. I decided to skip Gym today because I was very sore. I yhink my body would apreciate the rest. Therefore I slept an extra 2 hours.
I was in such pain(Good felling ) that my legs were killing me when I try to sit down in the toilet..auchhhh auchh
I decited to take a very hot bath with Epson Salt to relax my muscles.
AHHH also I workout my abs on wed. and even last night I was sneezing and had to hold my abs because it would hurt.

JUst to let u know...I think this is good!! that is why I am shariing my experience with u all.

ohhh thanks Spats...I feel so good and happy..and healthy..ahhhhh


Ohh forgot to mention, that tonite I am going with in-laws to Italian restaurant....and I have to eat pasta and some fried calamar...and tiramisu for dessert
I am starting to not like those days when I have to eat not so clean(to put it that way), but I will make this my cheat meal.
Tomorrow back to clean food and low carb.
I have notice that when I have a cheat meal it takes some days for my body to re-adjust.

Esteveze,

Way to go girl!
First the vomit club
and now the I'm-so-sore-I-can't-go-to-the-toilet club!

(Leg day is my fav!)

LOL...I've sat on the toilet so hard I thought I was going to detatch it from the wall before!

Sometimes those quads just don't cooperate.

You know, maybe it's just me, but I SWEAR by glutamine. I used to get SO sore, and it would take a week to recover from legs. Then I started taking glutamine regularly, and I don't get AS sore, and it doesn't last long at all. I ran out last Thusday, and didn't have any in me for my leg day on Monday....WOW, what a difference! I'm SO SORE, and it hasn't let up. Got more glut yesterday - will be better soon!

Rest is good...your body is growing some muscles RIGHT NOW. Let it do its job.

GLUTAMINE IS THE BEST THING FOR RECOVERY-

it has no sides and is sold at every health food store

You can find it in the performance supplements section of the store - l-glutamine. Good stuff. Many protein mixes also mix it in.

Sometimes when you are really sore, the best thing you can do is get back in the gym & do some cardio to work it out. Doesn't have to be intense. I have a desk job -- usualy the day AFTER the day after legs is the worst. I'll sit down for a few minutes & my muscles lock up - so the next time I got to stand up, I end up limping for a few steps because I'm so stiff from sitting! Its an evil circle but unless you're just really wiped out from training, i feel so much better if I keep moving!

 

[esteveze]

Thank u spat...ufff long post, but full of info...very apreciated!!!

 

[new@gettinbig]

I get this feeling almost on a weekly basis....always on a heavy leg day week...usually the 2nd day after is killer!! Always a good sign

 

[SteelWeaver]

Spatts, do you take glutamine on non-training days?

 

[alexiarenee]

I take it everyday (glutamine)..it's supposed to help with immune function also , at least thats what I hear.

 

[NY Muscle]

I take 1g post workout and 1 g in the evening EVERYDAY NO MATTER WHAT.

you could probably take much more than that, i usually take 15-20gms a day, including after workout and before bed. theres no bloat from glutamine like creatine.

 

[wilson6]

Speaking of legs, how were your legs from our last leg workout New@?

W6
