Today in the gym I finished up on my leg workout ahead of time and thought that it couldn't hurt to throw in some mild cardio........NEVER DO CARDIO RIGHT AFTER A LEG WORKOUT. I only had the treadmill set to 6.0 incline @ 6.5mph, I had to stop at .36 miles because I felt like I was going to throw up at any second. Came home,20 minutes later I felt worse and it hurt to try and eat. 1 hour later after burping a whole bunch and taking a nap I feel much better but I'm never running right after a leg workout again! Just aheads up to everyone else because I wouldn't want anyone else to expierence the same thing.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
No running after a leg workout!

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I run 3 miles after my leg workout, in 30 minutes.
Mabye youre just not in shape
I've heard that HIIT after leg workout is bad, but low-medium cardio couldn't hurt.
You might have not eaten enough that day. You need energy to fuel your workout, if you run out of steam, then you aren't getting enough calories.

Does umm running two circles around the gym and realizing how badly your legs mainly calfs are freezing up sound about right?

You sure seem to act like you know a bunch when you have yet to prove that you are even in the slightest of shape. Anyone can post words on a forum but where is the proof that your knowledge is correct?Warboss Alex said:
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Hmm. What exactly do I need to prove to know that you shouldn't be able to walk, let alone run, after training legs?

I've done enough leg workouts over the past 5-6 years to know that I hobbled, not walked, out of the gym each time. Except the times when I chickened out on the 20 rep squats, which I did quite a few times.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

When I get my legs I have to sit down for at least 10-15 minutes before I go anywhere. Usually I plant my ass on the mats under the squat rack and hope no one wants to use it before I get up hahahaha

I shake and tremble after a leg workout but am still capable of running on a flat surface.
Yesterday i did a short (I had to squeeze it in my shcedule) 20 minute leg routine consisting of super sets.
I did 5 sets of 8-15 rep 225 pound squats immediatley followed by calf raises and then leg curls. No rest. The entire workout took me less than 20 minutes and I couldn't even walk up the stairs to the cardio room.
But I still managed a two mile run in 13:30 and a 500 meter swim in less than 9 minutes.
Total workout time including pre-pool shower: less than 50 minutes (I didn't rest once).
just because you're legs are jello after a leg workout doesn't mean you can't do cardio with your legs. Eff strength, that's when it comes to endurance.
For the record, that was a FUBARed wokout compared to my normal routine. i was just very short on time and had to get cardio in.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

And after legs + cardio, I literally can't walk down the stairs(i almost fell down them acouple weeks ago..my legs were under me but they wouldnt stay upright)...I take the elevator.
