Squats

chelsicle Posts: 1 Joined: 2007/06/04	2007/06/04, 04:17 PM Okay so I decided to do some squats the other day, I think I did 50 but spaced out. The next day I woke up with immense pain in my legs. I still have it 3 days on. I can't walk down the stairs without putting my weight on the railing or go up the stairs and I feel really wobbly on my knees. Every so often I'll fall over or come close to collapsing. Any ideas whats wrong? Is it serious?

This is called DOMS or-Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.....usualy goes away in a few days. Take hot baths, massages Ice it and or take advil. -------------- Curl Jockeys, get outta the squat rack! I wish everyone would get a partial amnesia and never use 'tone' ever again. (thanks Menance) 7707mutt@freetrainers.com

Sounds like you went a bit overboard is all. -------------- My Catahoula did it. I saw a book titled "Sex for Dummies" and wondered why anyone would teach dumb people how to reproduce?
