When will it get better?

Last workout was Friday morning. By Sunday Afternoon I am still sore. So sore. Can't have my kids touch me sore.

I love the workout but holy moly this is a really long time to be out of commission!!

    It's my quads. The rest of me is ok. But my quads.... :'(

    It'll get better quickly, I promise! You'll get used to the lifts and it won't hurt like that. in fact, even next week will be better. You'll be fine!

    I do stretching on a vibration plate after and I haven't had doms once (which is crazy because I always get them bad and lasting for days)

    Are you sure you're going deep enough in your squat? My quads hurt until I fixed my form.

    Someone told me I would one day miss the doms and I thought she was crazy. But she was right. I've read enough to know that a lack of doms doesn't mean that I had an easy workout but it still didn't feel like I did enough when I wake up feeling fine. Your doms will ease up in time (took me about two weeks). Drink lots of water, stretch and work through the soreness. Good luck!

    Thanks all. Things have gotten much better. In my 3rd week now and while I get mild soreness, nothing like when I posted this. So all is well :)
