Sore Legs

I know I’ve probably said this before…. But I think this is the sorest my legs have ever been. I could barely walk up the stairs this morning. My quads mainly are whats killing me. John and I hit up the giant set workout on tuesday – and now I am paying the price. The 20 full, slow reps of leg presses (with 630 pounds) alone would have been enough…. but we superset that with three other exercises. All done without rest. The last movement is 20 forward barbell lunges with 135 pounds. On my third giant set – I could barely finish the lunges. I literally fell to the ground when I was finished. I know it is mostly mental… but I swear that this leg workout added a 1/4 inch to both of my thighs! My pants are barely fitting over my quads. I tried stretching my legs really good last night – and I think that helped. But this is some serious pain. My whole body was so physically exhausted from this workout – that I did not train at all yesterday. I did not even go to the gym. I could hardly stay awake at work. So… instead of working out… I went home yesterday afternoon and took about a 2 hour nap. It was great and I really needed it. But I probably slept too long – because I felt even more tired afetr I woke up.

Anyways, Christmas was great. Tons of great gifts and good times with the whole extended family. Since yesterday was christmas… I obviously missed my normal shoulers/tricep workout. I thought about hitting them today and pushing all of my workouts back a day. But tuesday is always leg day ad I don’t think I can change that. It is burned into my brain. So I will probably just make-up shoulders and triceps tomorrow. This cold has kind of kicked my butt – so I am not expecting a record-setting workout. But I will push it to the limit no matter what.
