I hate leg day! I avoid weights because of it bump to get over my phobia

Is there any pattern how often the DOMS sufferers checking in here train legs? I've had advice that frequency reduces DOMS.

Perhaps spread your leg training over 3 days a week rather than 2, or heavens forbid 1.

I would suggest that you get hit with DOMS when you change your routine to up the frequency.

I don't have a leg day per se. I train in cycles for the lifts. As I approach a meet, the intensity (weight) increases and the volume decreases. After a meet, it changes to lower intensity and higher volume. Every single time I make this change, I get hit with DOMS. This is years of training. However, DOMS isn't an issue going the other direction, heavier weight, lower volume.

super sore.... my lord... though it has been almost over a year of working out in the gym, legs are always my hardest....

seeing these big gorilla looking mofos at the gym, they mostly have skinny legs...

so uneven.. but i guess its because they hate leg day...

im not stopping but its funny how the soreness probably discourages many to work out the legs


what say you..

For those guys, every day is upper body day.:laugh:

Anyone ever pushed it so hard on leg day that when you walked down stairs your legs gave out a little bit on you?

That's when you know you pushed it hard.

That and puking.

yes this is me... sliding down the stairs on my ar$e because of the pain. will it ever go?
