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.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
No running after a leg workout!

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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:

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.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Uhh...I'm maxing my weights every week, still linear gains, I do pyramid sets and worksets and the 15 rep each Monday. Granted I only started doing the right stuff recently(afew months).
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.
