"a good feeling anyway".
Hrmmh, have you ever squatted, I mean really squatted ?
I remeber I took my roommate for "leg day" for the first time.
Actually, first a little background. Leg day has damn near cultish connotation among my peer group. Leg day is divine. Leg day is the day everyone loves to hate. Leg day is pain. Leg day is hell. A good leg day is 2 hours of Nirvana. A great leg day is a 2 hour orgasm.
Pain.
Pain.
Every week.
Anyways, the first time I took my roommate to a basic leg day, it was hilarious.
I have him do like 10 sets of 10 reps of forced failure. ie. A weight is picked where you get 10 by the skin of your teeth on the first set. 10 is possible the 2nd. By the third you re lucky to swing 8. The trick is, I force him to finish all 10 for every set, so I just spotted him from behind (he s much tinier dude, so it was easy).
My mistake.
He started bitching around the 5th set, so I just started screaming at him. Fine, he finished it. Then we slamm the leg press / hack squat. Or attempt to. He did one set and stopped. Fine I thought, I m tired and want to go out drinking, we ll go home early today. Next week, no excuses. Fine.
I m all done, he s all done. He stands up. He instantly falls over. LOL. I help him up. He s walking bowl legged. Like there is a big load in his pants.
Get to the first flight of stairs. He takes 2 steps. Falls face first into the stairs.
I help him up the stairs.
He starts moaning about how he s gonna puke.
I hustle him outside. He starts vomitting all over the front of the gym. Campus security rolls by (we re at college) I wave em off, cause I know them, and nobody parties in sweats and a t shirt.
I get him back and he can t climb onto his bunk. I toss him up there, and he just passes out till the next morning.
He wakes up, attempts to get down, takes one step on the ladder and crashes to the floor.
Ouch.
He get s up and goes into the bathroom and starts screaming. I figure he s pulled or broke something. I rush in, his pants are around his ankles and he s screaming..
" I CAN T SIT DOWN YOU F*CK!! I CAN T TAKE A F*CKEN SH*T!!"
So then I instruct him on proper post leg day poopage. No one get s it the first time so he just sorta falls on the toilet. More screams of agony.
Anyways, the most the pain will stay around is 2 weeks. It becomes bearable after the first week.
But I know exactly where you are man.
