Gotta Love first day of leg workout!!

Front Squats Straight Leg Deadlift Calf Raises I've been reading about the onset of muscle soreness. Basically, most of what I've read talks about delayed onset. I wouldn't say that mine is too delayed because it's been 4 hours and I can already feel the soreness. Can I offset this soreness so I don't have to walk funny tomorrow? -------------- Do just once what others say you can't do, and you will never pay attention to their limitations again. James R. Cook

I don't know if this is "suppose" to help, but it does for me, I do nice and slow stretches throughout the day, it seems to help stretch out the muscles that are tightening, it feels better for a while, a least better than that soreness, I don't over stretch, though. I also always do a warm up exercise for those areas beforehand and a cool down and stretch after, though again, much is to be said about what is right - it just seems to work well for me. Good job on the workout!! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

He bought another drain to replace it, but he hasn't made/had the time to put the new one in. So, no baths for me. :( -------------- Do just once what others say you can't do, and you will never pay attention to their limitations again. James R. Cook

I'm going to attempt one to see if I can even get back up. -------------- Do just once what others say you can't do, and you will never pay attention to their limitations again. James R. Cook
