Yup. And the stretching too, that's important, lol.

Seriously. Before and after. Most people way overestimate the amount of time they stretch. I eventually started timing my stretching when I was running a lot, to force myself to get enough. Sounds anal, but it really helped.

I did legs on Tuesday and I am still feeling them today! But, last night I went and rode the bike at the gym for about 30 minutes and noticed that it made a huge difference. I can still feel my hamstrings sore this morning, but the cardio took away LOTS of the soreness.....

And, I was in PAIN - the pain was so bad that it was uncomfortable to "enjoy my man" the nights following my leg workout!!

But, its ON tonight!

You sound like most of my clients a couple days after heavy legs.

My advice to them.

Get a massage and deal with it. You got your money's worth, don't complain.

i had the same problem this week with my legs too. stretching didnt seem to help at all...it felt like i couldnt stretch my legs enough to take away the pain....my leg workout was on monday and they were still sore yesterday...today's not so bad though.

Just remember my 5 day rule - if leg day doesn't make for painful toilet visits for at least 5 days, then it wasn't hard enough.

I usually get a massage every other week. It feels nice for sure, but I think it does more than that physiologically. It helps to flush the toxins from your body which aids in recovery. So I think that would help with faster gains at the gym.

Sometimes I feel even more sore after the massage, but the soreness goes away more quickly after that.

Sounds like a good workout!!!! Love that kind of pain...its annyoing and hurts but you know you hit em hard. Take glutamine before and after your workouts...some vit c too..its really something you just got a deal w/. No pain no gain

Spatterson:

Stretch during? Like between sets? I never tried that, I have to say, unless I had a twinge or something. I guess I always felt like my muscles were already warmed up/loosened up by then.

Interesting -- I'll try it next time.
