Thanks!

Well, I really fubar-ed this one.

My squat workout from Saturday is still kicking my butt big time. My hamstrings and butt are so sore I can barely squat down to the royal throne.

I skipped my hypertrophy workout on Sunday, and chilled. But today...is deadlift day. Not sure what I'm going to do.

I agree here, I would do something to get some blood flowing and then stretch out real good and then maybe you will feel up to it.

Thanks guys. I'm hoping. The last time I was this sore was from a German Volume Training leg session.

The soreness is starting to get better. I think I'll be able to deadlift without any issues. I have some minor, lingering butt soreness. As long as my hammies and back are good - and they are - my old body will rock it.

On Sunday my legs hurt so bad I couldn't get up out of my chair.

09/08/2009: Deadlift Day

Workout Time: 46 minutes

Workout Grade: B+

Notes: I missed my hypertrophy workout on Sunday. Not due to laziness, or personal issues. I simply couldn't walk. My Saturday squat-fest killed me. It left me sore beyond belief.

This morning, I still felt iffy about today's workout. My hammies and butt were still a little sore. But, my 3pm I felt 95%, so I went for it.

I felt good throughout the deadlifts. then when I started front squatting, my hammies started to remind me they were still a little sore. I survived, and powered through my sumo deadlifts.

Sweating. Strong. And with a back pump.

I am using a modified Doug Hepburn rep/set scheme on primary lift exercises.

Deadlifts
375 (75%) x 12 (1 minute rest between reps)

Front Squats (2 minute rest between sets)
185 x 7
185 x 6
185 x 6

Sumo Deadlifts (1 minute rest between reps)
375 (75%) x 5

Weighted Sit-ups
25lbs x 12
25lbs x 12
25lbs x 10

That is a good looking workout MAB, especially for being sore!
Nice Work!
