The pains of doing an old, forgotten exercise
Yeah …. like Hip adduction and abduction. Thursday was leg day … and a good one it was. I did nearly all my exercises that I had planned on doing. The one thing I bypassed was a butt blaster. 
But the rest of it was good, as I said. So good that Friday and Saturday I had some trouble walking. The inside of my thighs ached! Friday was supposed to be chest/back/abs day …but I was so drained from work my 1 hour post-dinner/pre-workout nap ended up going from 7pm until midnight. Consequently … no workout! I did that on Saturday and had a good day then, too. Sunday my legs were still sore so I forego the walking, and finally got on the treadmill this evening. Still taking it easy. I did 4.25 miles in an hour. No pains at all. However, if I’m going to do the 1/2 marathon this June I need to start doing longer weekend walks. Starting with about 6 miles this weekend and adding a mile every weekend until I get up to 11-12 miles.

Leg training has left me walking funny more times than I can count. Ah.. the price of victory! lol

Must have been a great leg day to be sore for so long.

I feel the same way, but it’s with my chest. I recently changed it up and did some flat barbell bench press. I’ve been doing the dumbbell bench press lately, so jumping back into it was extremely painful. I’m still hurting, so I know it works! Looks like you’ve got the same thing, so keep it up man!

I love torturing legs that way. I usually do it with squats. Thank heaven my knees feel better than my elbows. I mix up the squat routine regularly. Pyramids, strip sets, super set with sissy squats, front squats. I end up walking around like I have saddle sore. Sitting on the toilet is a nightmare.

Ahhhhh, the price of progress! I always love receiving that payday. Keep up the hard work, your looking as if your going to achieve that 170 lb mark over the next few months! God bless my friend!
