Aches after exercise

I’ve just come back from a knee ligament injury. Yesterday, I did some squats and my legs have been aching since then. I’ve got circuits tomorrow which involves squats again.

Should I do those squats? or should I wait for my legs to recover?

I would really appreciate it if anyone can answer me…thanks

Not to be short with you … but your therapist is the best person to ask!

No one really knows better than you and he … now that being said I know that’s not what you want to hear!

Maybe you can give us a few more details?
Degree of injury, type, which lig, when etc.

Sorry mate - not being smart but even with that … giving good injury advice on-line doesn’t make real sense

And oh yeh - go to bed

Well my qauds are aching. Sometimes it’s difficult to get down the stairs. I have to get down the stairs slowly. It’s happened to me before, and it took about 1 week for it all to clear up. But I’ve got circuit training tomorow which involves squats. Should I do the squats tomorrow and do some stretches tonight to relieve it all? or should I take tomorrow off?

I’m really strict about my circuits that’s why i’m asking, lol

If it’s just your quads that are sore then its probably just DOMS, not serious, if its in your knee joint be v careful.

You should be good to go tomorrow once the circuits are of an easy weight.

Thanks a lot. I don’t lift anything on my back, I do about 100 of them, lol.

The last time I didn’t squats before the sets I did yesterday was in June!

Hence the DOMs … now go to bed …

:slight_smile:

haha, goodnight, btw what does DOMs mean?

Oh no …

Go to bed … I’ll tell you in the morning

Ok …just kidding. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, its where you get sore muscles not during exercise but after maybe days after … before you ask … ‘Why?’ … its not fully understood - well agreed on to be more accurate.
