So I did legs last night and squats for the first time in a LONGGGGGG time.

Here was my leg routine:
Squats: 6,6,10,12,12
Leg Presses: 6,6,10,12,12
Lunges: 6,6,10,12,12
Leg extensions: 12,12
Leg curls: 12,12
Calf Raises 15,15

I couldn't walk up or down the stairs last night or this morning. I don't have the leg energy to bend over to sit on the toilet seat to drop a deuce.

Does it gonna get better?!?!

instead of lifting weights right away you should start running to train and build those muscles up also bulid up your endurance.

I slept great actually... knocked out like a baby. I had issues at around 4 am getting off my bed to go take a leak. My legs are DEAD. I think i'm outta commission for another day or two.

They aren't sore yet, but they are dead, no energy whatsoever. I'd rather be sore and able to fuggen walk.

It's not way too much, your body just isn't used to it (right Mort? lol).

And uncle Steve is right, ROFLMAO!

Yes. I'm sure somewhere in your guide it will tell you that you need to be at a certain baseline of physical fitness before you start.

Your muscles will develop quicker than your joints, so just remember that before upping your weights.

Give yourself a YEAR to get into the shape you wanna be in.

Just cause you did cardio 5 times this past week, doesn't mean that you've stuck to it for a long period of time.

Sticking to a plan is the key here.

you should of streached before you worked out. i spend about 20-25 min streaching before working out. plus you haven't worked you legs for a while, you should start with lighter weights i know that feeling

Stretching cold muscles can do more damage than good.

I stretch after working out, or after my muscles are warmed up.

Yeah I know stretching cold muscles is bad. I usually only stretch after doing light cardio to warm up and after major cardio sessions.
