Sore legs

Hello,
I have been smashing myself with squats - front and back, also doing cardio (circuit)

Now after i am fine its when i am trying to get to sleep i cannot becuase my legs are a little sore but also feel really hot and I cant sleep. I have been eating like a horse and stretching - for the first time ever. Did a workout in skins (at home) and same thing.

Now here are my options

1. Pump up!
2. Cold/freezing baths after working out - havent tried lately
3. Pain killers and anit inflam - doesnt really work at normal dose
3. Sleeping tabs - tried works

I would rather the no sleep over not training. I am getting stronger and feeling good. It might seem a small thing but I am awake until 3am.

Any thoughts? Am i just old?


I would like to thank the persons who post and reply for the threads on this forum. It is great.

Nope, shrek got it right the first time....LOL

Seriously though, have you tried foam rolling your legs after you squat? I can't tell you if it actually works, but my mate does it. I get some weird aches and pains after a heavy session around my sides, like where the hams meet the quads. It's a basted when you try to sleep, but it goes away and has been less bad since the weather has warmed up. Make sure you fully warm up and warm down after the workout, don't just finish up and go relax, do some stretches straight after and try some foam roller work, it may help you.

good luck

Thanks rambo i will try it.

Can anyone explain the heat?

Last time I hardened up i eneded up at the docs and found i had patella tendonitis. On the lounge for a week, no running for six and am not back to 100% yet.
 
Hmm, the heat is a weird one, I had a chat to my old man and reckons it may be nerves as he gets a similar discomfort in his feet. You may be a bit dehydrated maybe, not because you don't drink enough water, but because you don't retain enough salts in your system to help absorb the water. I got that one from my mother, she is a nurse and says try some hydration drinks from the chemist, or a cheep alternative is a rally strong Gatorade (bit sweet though) that you mix yourself.

Rambo thanks that is actually making sense.

Its just turned hot up here and I have been drinking lots of water but nothing else. I will get a gatorade mix and try.

Thanks man.

I am Still happy shrek!
