but who was frequency, mobility, stretching and soft tissue work..

the soreness can be easily avoided if you squatted at least twice a week. preferably thrice. no need for tons of volume either.

I start off every work out with either squats (3x3 or 4x4 lighter, paused) or deadlifts (3x3 or 4x4 lighter, deficit stiff legged). The weight is increased 5lbs every second week, 1 day on - 1 day off, etc. I almost never get a sore back or sore legs anymore.

Tried low bar, but my arms start to crack. Will try safety bar.

However, I squat pretty heavy- usually 400lbs on low reps. So I should maybe just drop 50lbs.

No, people don't train legs because it's the hardest thing to do lifting wise. DOMS is only that severe for newbies.

I dont respect anyone as a man if they dont train legs because theyre obviously weak minded. You've got to embrace the pain of leg day.

Knowing you have leg day is the worst feeling but leaving the gym after leg day is the best feeling. Its a weird relationship

Just don't go all out on leg day. Do some reasonable weight for squats you can rep 12-15 times and stick to 12 times. 4 sets, some presses, some romanian deadlifts or sumo deadlifts with the same principles and call it a day. You'll be getting 80% of the results of someone going all out on leg day but you won't have crazy DOMs that will ruin your running routine.

Also, having big legs never bothered me running. It would be like asking if having big arms makes it harder for pullups (sure a little bit, but it also makes it easier... if that makes sense).

You just need some blood pumping back into them.

Wait until the second day when you cant hardly walk. Then do the leg workout again. It will suck no doubt but after a few warm ups you will be fine. Will feel better the next day.

Haven't trained legs in years, but through lots of hiking and genetics I have huge calves. So everyone thinks my legs are huge

Hardly ever do legs since I was born with a large lower body and smaller upper body.

Though only my calves are naturally strong. Thighs look big but then I go to squat and awfukbye. I'm starting to do legs more because it felt stupid having a really shiitty and weak squat.

if you actually worked legs consistently youd learn the crazy pain doesnt happen all the time, just like any other muscle group.

they get sore.. but not a bad sore.. and there is nothing like stretching out in bed after a long day with sore legs... hnnngghhh that feel.

first leg day was nothing compared to my first time paintballing in the woods. ****ing 7 day soreness in every single muscle & tendon from toe to hip. so many isometric lunges, uphill walking, stealth-walking, kneeling, crawling

Agreed, most people don't have a high enough pain tolerance for a serious leg workout.

reasons 1 and 2 are the exact reason why you're a poverty jamal. actually you're a pssy, bro.

"oh the bar hurts my neck" "oh my vision!!"

Then why does this 166 lb dude have better traps than you bc my back doesnt hurt when i squat? Or when I actually front squatted, why did I front squat 225x10 without blacking out?

Maybe its because I'm not a pussy lmao
