mark ellis Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Did a new leg session at gym on monday and my legs are stiffed that MJ at a kids party. Can I still ride with stiff legs? (I know I will need to bend my knee's) was always told never to train stiff/sore muscles
Lukep Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Sometimes a light spin helps flush latic acid out of the muscles, dont push to hard and it will be fine.
Jeepdude Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 ah thats rubbish are you kidding? it will probably take some off the stiff away
mark ellis Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 cool thanks guys. Yeah, thats what they told us back in the day.
'Dale Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Low intensity only, mark ellis. Always try to follow HARD sessions with EASY sessions.
Woofie Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Low intensity only, mark ellis. Always try to follow HARD sessions with EASY sessions. 100%Sore legs are always made to feel better with some easy spinning - below 60% HR. Anything over and you are going to be overdoing it. Train hard when fresh and rest even harder when tired.
Grebel Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I did a new leg routine at gym last week Wednesday morning and may have gone a bit too heavy. I went to bed on Wednesday evening with stiff legs and woke on Thursday morning to do my morning ride with sore legs. I took it easier than normal but around my neighbourhood below 60% is impossible! Needless to say I started my course of anti-inflamatories on Friday afternonn because the discomfort was unbearable. This continued through the weekend and this morning I was able to get out of bed without a grimace for the first time. Next time I will stay in bed if I feel that way. Either that or I need a stash of L-Glutamine! Does anybody think that the ride made things that bad or was it just the weights...?
andretraut Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 One can train with stiff legs, provided it is only the left and right leg!
