I did 3 sets of squats, 3 sets of lunges, 3 sets of leg extensions, 3 sets of stiff-legged deadlifts, and 2 sets of ham curls. By the time I was done with this, I was exhausted and all kinds of out of breath. I took a 10min break and did calves for 10 sets, though of course that wasn't nearly as intense, mainly cause i was just so short on energy at that point.
Anyway, after training, I was so exhausted, I drank my shake and took my vitamins, etc, came home, and went to sleep for about an hour. I'm still pretty tired and it just took a lot out of me.
If you're exhausted to the point after a workout where you need to lay down and rest afterwards, is this too much, or is this just leg day? I know sometimes I did need to do this back in the day, but I don't remember being this shot after legs. I think I may have overtrained.
