not sore after leg day?

[user787877877]

so yesterday i did my first "mass" type workout pyramiding my sets. After the workout i felt like my legs were burning, but today they feel fine. Did i not work them enough, usually im dead the day after a good leg day.

no, that doesnt mean you havent worked them enough. as long as you are ntot going half ass you dont need to be sore

don't really need to be sore after your workout. Look for long term effects, not the short term effects of your training.

If you have worked your legs enough they SHOULD be sore. When i train my legs i am unable to do any kind of training for at least 6 days after thats how sore they are. Wait till two days after the workout thats when i start feeling it the most.

When you train your legs you have to work them absolutely to failure, and you have to put them under huge amounts of stress. Here are a couple of tips:

- Sets of 8 to failiure are good but legs can handle and sometimes respond better to high reps of 10 - 15 or more.

- After the workout you should either be feeling sick from the pain and exhaustion or elated from overcomibng the challenge, or both!

- Try the pre-exhaust technique with leg extensions first. Go really heavy with full smooth motion and a couple of seconds squeeze at the top with slow negatives.

- GO HEAVY with ranges of motion.

- Make use of forced reps and drop sets.


You are only 15 so i dont expect you to do all of this yet but when you gain more experience this is what you should be aiming for, just dont stop when the pain starts mate.
