Dear all,

I just join a local gym near my house last month. They do provide 3 sessions personal trainer.

Last sat i started 1st session with PT. I do Leg Extensions, Leg Press and Lying Leg Curls 3set each 1set 15 times with weights

and my thigh started to feel cramp and pain.. now cant even walk properly.. cannot go up or down staircase.. cannot drive...


since sat i suffering until now..

any things that i can do to reduce the pain ??


and i'm worry i cant walk because im going to Bangkok next month for shopping trip


Please help

Just rilex. The pain is NORMAL because you haven't you that muscle (to its limit). The pain will usually disappear within a week.

Lolol. Welcome to the leg day haters club. Member no 3

Normal. It is just lactic acid (google it). Nothing is wrong with you, drink more water and eat more protein rich foods.

You will be fine in just a few days lah. No need to worry about your trip next month. =_=; If you have any PT sessions close to the day you are leaving for your trip, just insist that you don't want to work your lower body too hard.

and yes i do squats on that day too.. issit too extreme for newbie like me??

if you did squats then your butt area should feel painful. the first time I did squats, my glutes was so bloody sore till I have to hold myself before sitting down..don't even mention about taking a shit.

Give it a week plus, it should be okay by then.

Alalaaaa... kesian. There there. The pain will pass.

It is not too extreme lah sayang. It is just your muscles being worked and now they are sore lah. Don't stop doing them. Squats do an awesome job making your bum perky and round. Just google women squats and you can find lots of photos of womens backsides Sorry if your not a lady Guys oso greatly benefit aesthetically from squats - my own tastes lah. Chicken legs are not pretty to look at...

Eh I got complimented on my butt before. Dont play, muahahaha

last 2 week i do squats+deadlift+bench press+chin up on the same day..having low back pain till today..can feel the pain when u coughing or sneezing, dada macam nak pecah!!

I remember the first time I did squats seriously. I probably overdid it that time. When climbing a flight of stairs it feels like I have aged 40 years.

Same happened to me.. Leg day today make me cramp on both thighs..

Squat, Alternate leg extension, Leg press and hamstring curl only. =(

*no warm ups =((((((((

Rest.

rest, rest and more rest.

why the hate on leg day? it's a magical day

u will feel better after a week

Today feeling better already

next week can go gym again

Thanks all

leg day is the most awesome day, my apartment don't have elevator, i live on the 4th floor and i drive a manual car , traffic jam are the most wonderful thing to face after leg day..even sitting on toilet bowl feel like thousand knives poking at your butt.... i don't care, no pain no gain, say no to chicken leg.

-today = leg day-

Oh ive been through this stage before. Pain is awesome and whatnot. Wait a year. I promise u would be like me now.

you see, once you are into your second year of training, the soreness in your leg the next day + the results you'll get is a blissful feeling. you'll be craving for that soreness.

Crave your head. If u sit down 8 hours a day nvm la. Walk around go in go out car for the whole day see u crave the pain or not.

Ive been training more than 3 years fyi

He didn't hit his leg hard enough. Must be the same routine as what he did the first time he worked out.

Leg day on PHAT is very painful. 4 days of pain but I like them. Now on Max-OT, the pain isn't as bad as on PHAT but 2 days guaranteed.

Try stretching after your workout, it'll reduce the cramps and soreness

Uhhhh all this talk is scaring me. Gonna have my 2nd session with my PT later today *screams in horror*

do we still continue working out with the sore? or should we resume after it goes away?

you mean during the routine or after few days of resting? During training, lactic acid buildup is the most common problem for the soreness while injury also a problem. If the sore from acid lactic, just rest for few minutes (if you are doing weight training, there is the rest period between each sets). That is when you recuperate and continue your workout afterwards.

oh.. thanks

it's a love hate relationship u can have with leg days...love the gains..hate the pains..

Don't do stepmill or any other cardio after a leg day. It's not worth it.
