Leg workouts are a bitch.

[biteme]

try doing cardio afterwards... like the elliptical
accelerating if frickin impossible

I jogged a mile after I did heavy leg presses, squats, leg extensions and calves. Felt like I was running in quicksand.

...and then there's the old reaching back to grab hold of the 'throne' before being, uh...seated.

tying a rope to the ceiling makes this a lot easier..

I used to love working legs. Now I fart when I do leg presses and get dizzy when I (rarely) squat. Getting older sucks ass. I'd still rather do legs than anything else.

Leg workouts suck.

For the first few years I started working out, all I ever did was upper body. Bench, curls, triceps. They made us do squats in football, but that was the only time I ever did any kind of leg work. When I finally did become very strong in the legs, it made a world of difference athletically.

When I started working out in 8th grade I was really scared to be in the gym. I was weak as hell (benching like 85lbs) and didn't want people to see how weak I was. The gym had a leg room in the back with some squat racks and other leg stuff. I was in that room 5 days a week.

but the pump u get after tearing the shit out of your legs is well worth the pain afterwards in my book

Try getting a Ford Explorer bumper in the hip eight months ago.

Out of commission for three days...heat packs....pain killers....from doing the sled with zero weight added. It weighs soemthing empty.

Hell....I used to fill the sled with 45's.

Doc wants to to lift weights. He doesn't have to deal with the pain though.

I do a full body athletic dealy for martial arts and feutball so I hardly have time for dedicated leg day. That being sad, I do not feel the after effects the next day. My leg routine is like this:

shit loads of box jumps
shit loads of jump squats
3x10-12 lunges
3x10-12 leg extensions
3x10 SLDLs
