my legs just gave out

[KillahBee]

I was running down my stairs in my house and they just gave out on the last step or so. I guess I hit my squats pretty hard today. It was awesome.

Only someone who lifts would find falling down the stairs as a good thing.

plus when im walking, my legs/knees will just buckle from beneath me sometimes

I remember back in the day when I did a leg day, it wasn't a good one if I could still walkup the stairs to the locker room WITHOUT falling down....

why is it always harder to go down the stairs then up...i could never figure this one out!?!?

 

[Scotsman]

That's awesome. I love it when my legs are so sore that when I try to get out of bed in the morning I fall on the floor.

momentum

like said above- momentum- when going up you only pick up your weight (your mass times the acceleration of gravity), on the way down you have to stop the acceleration of gravity plus that of you "falling" the height of a step.

Try lifting a bowling ball up 24 inches versus catching one dropped 2 feet. Catching the dropped one is much harder.

My personal favorite is when i hit calves so hard i cant even muster enough strength to push the pedals of my car. I just end up eating dinner at the restaurant next door.

You're mistaken. The bigger tip is a result of the pizza arriving uneaten.
