Surfing on leg day
I just started surfing and so far it doesn't feel like I use my legs to exhaustion. I would like to continue with my normal gym routine which would include a leg day about three hours after surfing. My leg day is squats, lunges, dead lifts. Thoughts? Any surfers out there?

It doesn't hurt too much in my day, but when I try and workout with any jumping or big movements it…

Sore muscles
I have just started lifting. I do upper body one day and then lower body the next and always give myself an extra day or so in between if I am really sore.
