Gym Style Legs

[butterflygurl]

I think I expect too much from myself. When I did GS Legs, I was only able to do the Standing leg work the first time. I was not completely fried but felt that I should stop there. That was Wednesday, I still feel DOMS today, Friday. I was going to try to do the floor work later that day (Wednesday evening) but thought better of it. Opinions??

Also, should I just stick with the standing leg work for a couple of weeks until I can add in the floor work or should I alternate? Please, someone let me know by next Tuesday night- I plan to do legs again next Wednesday.

Hi...I'm not Cathe(obviously) but I'll give you my advice for what it's worth. The fist time I did GS Legs I had DOMS for almost a week after and I only did the standing leg work too. I definitely think you did the right thing by stopping and not doing the floor work later. There is a point where muscle soreness becomes muscle strain and then it can lead to injury and you won't be able to work out at all.

As for going forward, I think you should wait to see how you feel. Your body let you know this week when it had enough and it will do so in the future. Next Wednesday, you may only feel you can do the standing work or you may feel like you can do the standing work and a few of the floor exercises. I know for me it took a couple of weeks before I was able to do the whole thing. I do work legs more than once a week, though, and, therefore, was doing other lower body work which may have help me build up my endurance to complete all of GS Legs sooner. HTH
