I am curious if anyone else has this problem. Normally during my leg day I will warm up with 10 minutes on the bike. Then I will do 4-5 sets of higher rep leg curls to get the blood into the muscle and stretch. Next, I move to my main exercise, this rotation it is squats. I did 135x10, 225x10, 275x10, 315x10, 365x10, 405x5, 225x20. Not below parallel but all fairly deep. I finish my workout with heavy leg extensions. That’s it. I do this once every 6 days or so. The night I do my squats, I barely ever sleep. I am tired but can’t sleep. The day after my squat training, I can’t lift and am physically weak. Two days after, I am back to normal with just muscle soreness. I eat very adequately, I use supplements and have an office job.
This only happens with squats. During my hack squats and leg press rotations I never get this beat up, worn down feeling that I do with squats. No other body part taxes me this much either.
Should I drop the squats or just grin and bear it?
