I feel like Homer Simpson, with a little angel and a little devil, one whispering into each ear - but I don't know which one is the angel, and which is the devil ...
I did some very light front squats on Thursday (http://ausbb.com/showthread.php?p=521807#post521807) - an exercise I hadn't done for years, and I had very painful muscle soreness in the lower back, bum, and legs all day yesterday, and still pretty bad this morning. I don't think I've damaged anything - just made myself bloody sore.
On Monday last, I did normal squats of 95kg, 5x5, which is on track for my program, and my schedule would have had me doing 96kg 5x5 yesterday.
So, should I do (or rather, try to do) these squats today? The argument against (expressed by one of my voices, and also my dear wife - who, btw, is not an exerciser) is "take a good rest, wait until you feel good again, and if you do a leg workout today, you'll hurt yourself even more, or even damage something, and you'd be a bloody idiot, and you won't get any sympathy from me this time!"
The other voice says "You're a lazy bastard, AND a wimp - just do it!"
What do yous experienced muscle types recommend?
