leg and work problem...

[acciaio]

In a previous post i saw that a lot of people hate training legs. I have problem with legs as well and what i want to know is:
Am i the only one having a huge problem going to work the day after legs work-out? Sometimes i cannot even walk, guess what it happens when i try to climb stairs!

legs are brutal for me also. most of the time my problem is walking out of the gym after leg day.

They don't bother me after three weeks worth of training them hard

My legs are extremely sore for 5 days after each and every leg workout.

Here is the leg workout I did last Wednesday (a typical leg day) - on thursday I had to build up the courage to put my socks on because my legs were that sore LESS THAN 24 HOURS after training them .....

bike for 5 minutes as warmup

squats
20 x 60kg (warmup)
12 x 80kg (warmup)
12 x 100kg (warmup)
8 x 140kg
6 x 160kg
6 x 160kg
6 x 160kg
8 x 140kg
only 1 minute rest between sets

followed by ...

leg press
30 x 240kg
30 x 260kg
30 x 260kg
30 x 260kg

followed by
4 sets of leg extensions

followed by
4 sets of hamstring curls

followed by
4 sets standing calf raises

Not too heavy, but the short rests between sets and the large number of reps on the leg presses make this a deadly workout for me

I remember when i was younger and went to school i had to bag the school porter to allow me to use the lift reserved for teachers and retarded people

I don't believe retarded is politically correct

Walking up and down steps, sitting on a toilet seat. All brutal after a successful leg workout. But the pain should go away quite a bit after a few weeks of good training.

I have also found that splitting my leg routine works well too.
Doing an entire leg workout in one session can be excruciating and even the very thought of it is discouraging making most people just say "**** the legs"

I'll do quads on one day and deads/hams/calves the next. This works well for me because of my work schedule having the weekends off, so I do quads on Saturday and deads/hams/calves on Sunday. But if you are just starting out, you may want to wait a few days between your split.

Currently my workout looks like this

Monday: off
Tuesday: Chest/triceps
Wednesday: off
Thursday: Upper back/biceps
Friday: off
Saturday: Quads/Shoulders
Sunday: Lower back(stiff legged deadlifts)/hams/calves/ abs

Agree!

Sorry if i offended someone, i don't know how to say it correctly in proper english...

Mentally handicapped but you can just call them retarded as they are too mentally handicapped to know that you offended them.
