Hi guys,

Okay I've recently had 7 weeks out of the gym, I have been training for a 10k run and that passed at the weekend so I’m this week back in the gym.

My question relates to the crippling DOMS that I always get. Even when I’m training a muscle every 5 days which my routine dictates my legs are always ruined for a day or two after a big session. Last time I had a rest and only 4 weeks and my legs were so trashed for 4 or 5 days I could barely walk, let alone play football or anything athletic.

So I’m due to do legs on Wednesday, am I best to go for it with a full session or am I best to ease back into it over a few sessions? I know once its out of my system I’ll be okay but I would like to be able to get dressed on Thursday morning!!

Cheers
