    hmmm I am normally not like that after my workout...

    Last night for example...squats 5lbs from PR, OHP good go but failed, DL's were awesom with form @ 195lbs

    That was a good workout, I wasn't shaky afterwards, I can walk fine today...

    and I went for a walk with the husband after that...and another "workout" after that...

    Progressive overload and the "O" face is all that matters for me.

    having sex with your SO afterwards seems like a chore. "Ugh, I already had my workout, I don't need another one..."

    Leave puddles of sweat through the house.
    Still sweating AFTER you take a shower.
    Too freakin' tired to eat.

    Driving home is difficult because there is not a single upright position that doesn't make your abs scream!

    Everyone around me claps....oh no wait that doesn't happen.

    When I'm exhausted and feel great about it.

    My favorite is when I get in the truck to drive and I think I should have brought a designated driver because your can't control the steering wheel as well as I should.

    Also, having to a "dip" our of your office chair after leg day.

    ...you go out for a pork tenderloin afterward and feel like "I need this in my body" and no bloat or guilt after eating it.

    You're doing your last 100 pushups as a cooldown, and you finish out with a sore nose.

    When I am laying on the floor of the gym at the end of the workout with sweat pouring off me....texting my trainer that I don't like him at that moment.

    your workout clothes are as wet as if you'd kept them on in the shower!

    more seriously, when I know I have worked as hard as I could all session.

    You smell like cat piss
    You feel like you need to take a nap, until you get a protein shake or some food in you
    The only thing that gets you to stop sweating is a cold shower, and sitting in the car with the AC on.

    It hurts to laugh, sneeze, and/or cough.
    You go from actively sitting to flopping down.
    You can't tell which shade of a color your shirt is anymore because you've sweated through it all.

    when you can only bend so far before having to just drop yourself on to the toilet.....and use leverage, counters, friends and family to help you back off.
