Tuesday I worked my legs out, squats, leg press, leg extensions, hamstring curls excetera... I knew it was a good workout but yesterday I had zero strength in my legs.. I literally collapsed at work 3 times!! My legs just gave out underneath me... I jammed my wrist... I think I overdid it... They kill today but they're manageable and I haven't fallen... Kind of embarrassing...What about you, have you ever had that happen?

U use wrist wraps when u squat? If not try some. Puts a lot of stress on your wrists if u jam the bar tight into your back

Taking a walk or just doing something not too stressful while using your legs will help get you some relief. If that doesn't work don't be afraid to take some ibuprofen to get thru the day.

What did you do for legs?

I didn't use any wrist wraps. They hurt from my legs giving out the next day and falling. Lol

I did 4 sets of 10 with light squats then moved to 3 sets of 10 on the leg press then when two sets of 10 leg extensions and two sets of 10 leg curls and then one set of 10 to fry my calves

All the weight was embarrassingly light so I'll leave those numbers out of the mix LOL

My quads and hams are always super pissed by the end of the training session till I go to bed. Almost always OK by morning. Haven't gotten DOMS in years.

Stay safe brother.

I ate shit walking down the steps to the garage after legs last night. Almost called the ol lady in to help me off the shitter today. It's been a while since I burned my legs completely out.
