I'm a newb to the weight lifting games. But you know I don't know if I'm doing it right.
I went to the gym. I beat the heck out of my legs with squats and leg extensions. I know I worked till failure because I was struggling on sets, and my quads where hurting. When I walk down stairs, it hurt so much. Heres my problem....it's been 3 hours since the beating...and I am able to run up and down stairs like nothing happened? But I still feel a lil "glow or pulse" in my legs if that makes sense. Did I really workout my muscles? Will my quads grow at all? Am I suppose to be sore for like a day or 2 instead of tight and weak for a couple hours?

Sounds like you did.Originally Posted by marcellius27
For me soreness doesn't truly set in for 10-15 hours.
Squats, the day after blow because my quads are toast.

everyone is different, usually if i get a good beating in my legs feel a little bit weak for the rest of the day then for the next couple days my legs ache. usually my ass most of all for some reason lol.... usually the next morning i sit in the shower to rest my legs and massage them into life but it always hurts to sit. im pretty sure leg press kills my glutes lol

We need a new ideology with the core values of reason, honesty, science and secular progress over the older traditions of religion, superstition and dogmatic faith that have long defined humanity. We will never be free to progress and advance until the last stone from the last church is cast down onto the last priest. And every equivalent.

Absolutely nothing wrong with going to failure, as long as he doesn't hurt himself or sacrifice form.
DOMS. they will attack you tomorrow.

I remember the first time I did squats, or any quad/hamstring work, in a long time and the next 3-4 days my legs were on fire.Originally Posted by Technium

Did you workout to failure when you first started working out? You never want to workout to failure when your NEW like he stated, unless you want DOMS for 2 weeks straight...Originally Posted by Num3n

The point is to get bigger and stronger, not sorer. Muscle soreness is a byproduct that happens when you train--sometimes more and sometimes less. Don't use soreness as a gauge for training effectiveness.

working out to failure could be a good or bad thing. if your new to working out i wouldnt suggest it as your muscles are not use to the added stress and will be sore for a long period of time leaving you practically unable to work out for a good 4-5 days.
hense why people dont do drop sets more then once a month or how ever long, its cause there then unable to work out until the soreness goes away. it would be alot better to get into working out slowly and allow your muscles to cope with the stress,
annnddd the pain could also be due to the way you warmed down, if you dont warm down properly your going to be 5 times sorer than if you warm down properly.

If you do 5-10 reps and hit failure it's okay.
If you do like 300 reps and then hit failure, don't expect to gain any muscle.

well im trying to not use soreness as the judgement of my workout lol. I did my chest today. Worked it till failure ( or until after a few sets I needed a guy to basically save my life.) I was sore like hell...then now...I don't feel a thing. I'm just praying that I will make muscle gains.

Same here.
When I do legs/back I feel it for days on end, but when I do chest (till I'm totally dead, can't lift another weight) It hurts for like 30 minutes, then, I feel fine. No DOMS either. Weird thing is, I don't make big gains on my chest, only my lower body. No matter how hard I assult my chest.
