Hi guys, i have done my leg workout on saturday.
And my legs have been getting really sore and painful on sunday and monday.
My hamstrings hurt the most.
I cant walk down the stairs properly.
it hurts to walk and I can't even get off the sofa properly.
Any suggestions on how to reduce the pain, or recovery ways for my legs. like: active recovery etc.

Super sore leg muscles after squats.
Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

100% normal for the first time when you start lifting, or begin lifting again. With legs you can expect 48-72 hours of soreness with the most intense being the second day after. Every muscle has this, just that your legs have to flex every time you walk or stand up to support you. Luckily, after doing triceps, they can rest for the most part and you don't notice how sore they really are.
Should happen the second time slightly and after that if you are still getting very sore on a regular basis then you might want to look at the diet.View my Cutting threads here

All I'm trying to do is gain weight in my lower half such as calfs , butt , hips and thighs also I'm wanting a four pack but not to extreme as well as tone my arms up some , I sort of feel like I'm all over the place and don't even know whether if I'm doing the right exercises for my goals or not ...

Same here dude! It took me 4 mins to get out of my car. When I finally made it I faced the distance of 10 ft to my house. Somehow, I conquered that too. Laid on the couch. After 30 mins I realized that i cannot get up, so I rolled to the floor and ONLY with Jesus help I was back on my feet. My butt hurts so bad that I am afraid to go ****. The only good thing about it: it will all go away. Just give it 2-3 days

lesedimokgatle try not to bump old topics if you can, but here is some advice.
I'm only new to the forum and bodybuilding.
But from what others are saying, as well as my personal experience.
I used to experience soreness in my legs 2-4 days after my workout.
A short 5 minute warmup on the elliptical machine, plus 5 minutes on the bike on a heavier gear.
Then 5 minutes of stretches, I recommend both before and after you do quads/hams.
Warm up sets are a good idea too.
Anything to make it feel better for recovery as well: tea tree oil, deep heat, hot bath, ice bath, sleep.
When starting legs, your legs will be super sore for the first month or two, just keep at it.
Even when you're not doing leg day and you're sore - do some squats.
Good luck.

You need to stretch , try yoga squats . The extreme hamstring pain is mostly from squatting deeper than your body can handle flexibility wise . For instance.. if you squat without weight, once you start feeling that pulling stretch, is nornally where you peak , but with weight on your back , you unnaturally stretch deeper than you are physically ready for. The more squats the better, every 5-7 days should be a hard leg workout squats included . aside from stretching you use a gym hot tub or a hot bath at home and rub out all the sore spots , of course it's always better if u have a lady that can do that for you
