I have a question, since the past week has been conditioning for basketball and we did a crap load of running and agility excercises, my legs are pretty sore. However, leg day is scheduled for tommorow for me. We have practice again today and my legs will still be sore tommorow. My question is would it be a good idea to training legs tommorow because they have been worked all week? Im talking squats, leg press etc. Or should I just stfu and train them?
thankz

Just see how you feel tomorrow. Might as well go, but train light.

NOTHING is sacred.
"BUT... it's way too easy to get caught up in all this ****ing minutia- like the kids on the Teen forums who won't eat regular peanut butter because it has 4g of sugar or whatever, ATG nazis, obsessing about every part of training, etc. Simplicity works." -101CavGrunt

This. But definitely lift. You'll regret it next time you do legs if you don't.Originally Posted by piszczel

I swim almost every day and when it's time for back (once a week), I do back, and I haven't over trained it. So yea, do weights, it's a different kind of exercise anyways (anaerobic). Just make sure you get at least one day a week when you are not doing anything with your legs (other than walking).

Ok, so should I lift lighter weights or should I go the same? I mean my legs do feel a little uncomfortable right now.

train light, its better than nothing at all.
To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float. ― Alan Watts
