Crazy DOMS

I've got 3 day DOMS, I thought they were only supposed to last for 2....wow...my legs still ready to buckle under just a little weight.  I did leg press on Sunday, hit a new record of 720#, 8 plates per side (man that takes a long time to load and unload). 

This brings us to the basic reason any of us do resistance training--muscle overload.  We push more weight than our muscles could previously push.  My wife recently told me that I kind of looked like I'm I real life photoshop mishap where my legs don't quite match my upper body...it's funny cos most guys who lift are the opposite.  My strong point is my legs, I need to up the weight and hypertrophy on my upper body. 

OK so consider this a bonus post, I'll try to post again on Sunday or Monday.
