    When you seriously contemplate wetting yourself rather than getting off the sofa and walking to the bathroom.

    When you have to consciously engage your core muscles in order to get into the car.

    LOL

    or when you are also sprawled out on the sofa and look down and think OMG massive !!! - indeed maybe even a little gross :~

    When you drop your car keys on the floor and think "F**k it, I'll stay at home today" then spend the next 2 hours trying to figure out if you can pick them up by only bending at the waist.

    When you begin to think it's an evil conspiracy that the weight room is on the top floor!

    When you spend some time waiting at top of stairs until no one is there to witness your ungraceful stagger down!

    Our weight room is downstairs (like a basement) so you have to walk back UP the stairs to leave!

    When you'd rather operate all the pedals of the car after a leg workout, than walk home, 20 minutes uphill! (Shame I don't drive)

    The next day, walking becomes a challenge, and getting off the sofa seems like the hardest thing in the world.

    When the choice of bath or shower comes down to "which will involve bending my legs the least?".

    When the kids reply "You can't!" to you shouting "Don't make me come up there!" from the bottom of the stairs.

    When you weigh yourself and figure that the half a pound weight gain is the swelling in your aching muscles.

    I find getting on the bicycle and going for a light spin gets rid of he ache and stiffness

    When you have to go to your friends house to have your toe nails painted as it just not possible to do it yourself!

    I prefer the term 'hot' :wink:

    When you are damn near close to falling on your *kitten* climbing into the shower after a power-leg workout...

    You do your thing, shut the water off but you cant get out of the shower.

    "HONEY - I CANT GET OUT OF THE SHOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".....

    Hubby to the rescue! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA That was me last night and this past weekend....

    It doesn't take long to go down the stairs. Kind of like falling down the steps without actually falling down.
  • You have to fall into your car.


    LMAO!! I literally FELL into my car this morning... no word of a lie... perfect timing for this thread!

    oh and my addition to this is you know it was a good leg workout when you try and figure out how to go down the stairs without bending your legs at the knee!! It's pretty awkward going downstairs with a straight leg!
  • once you ungracefully get yourself into your work chair and have to slide out of it.


    hahaha thats been happening to me for the last week:laugh:

    ..i dont know if 'ungracefully' is a word, but im soooo using it right now. lol:smile:

    You think to yourself, "If I saw myself walking like this, I would seriously think something is wrong with me." Or something like that.

    Two days after the workout your walking and a leg gives out... your co-worker sees this and asks if your drunk.

    You're wondering if you'll make it down the steps or fall like Simon Pegg in Run Fat Boy Run

    Hahaha Jelly legs.

    Mine would be when I did 100 squats for the first time and next day I was walking like a hobo in college and kept getting asked what I was doing last night.

    You try to get out of your desk chair and realize you might need some help...or at least to take it slower. ;)

    OR

    We always like to say "You're walking around like an overworked hooker." That means you had a good leg workout.

    :laugh:
