@ChocolateMice
I have recently got myself back in the gym with the help of the nutribullet. I have been doing some punishing squatting and would like to keep this up, however my quads and glutes are becoming really stiff after a workout. I have purchased a foam roller and would advice on how to gain best results and recovery with this or any other general tips that would help me increase my recovery period from a workout.

@ChocolateMice knows the score on this
excellent advice given on hip injuries to me , thanks pal
Bump.
About to hit the gym shortly, pal. My upper legs are still very stiff and need some limbering up, what will yield the best results.

How many days a week exactly are you working legs? And what are you doing other days? The key here as always is balance, don’t be over training any one area- With knowing what you are at I can only give you the staples.
All body workout. Predominantly doing squays for the legs and I’m getting them in 5 times a week but my quads and glutes get quite fatigued and stiff the following day after a workout.

Warm up properly- few minutes bike/treadmill then some dynamic stretching- Do a few tuck jumps and/or body weight squats and jump up out of it as high as you can x 10- in other words engage quads/glutes before you get stuck in… Also, static stretch afterwards- all the old reliable stretches.
Secondly- are you eating right? Legs are your biggest group of muscles, pal, and if you are giving them a proper workout you are burning up serious cals- you need to eat right before and after- carb heavy that day- protein heavy after wards but dont ignore carbs here also. Might be worth getting supplements- protein or amino acids etc. etc.
Thirdly- go for a light jog the next moring and again stretch- this should help you recover quicker for your next session also.
Other than that, I hope you are doing everything correctly, as in your form during these exercises and you are not doing them arseways and putting pressure on joints. Best liaise with your gym instructor here
Youre squatting 5 times a week?? … stop, you mad cunt… depending on what you are training for I wouldn’t advise more than 3 times a week- but twice should really be your max. You should be leaving plenty of rest days inbetween such a stressful exercise on the body. I’d advise this for nearly every area of the body, pal… you have to rest the muscle after you have worked it- but if you want to persist with a programme like that alter it so you are hitting different muscles (upper/lower) on different days- so the lower might be various squats on Monday… various lunges Tuesday… Calves and Hamstrings Wednesdays… Squats Thursday etc. etc. Even that maybe tough and you might be better off doing just a leg day and going at it hard once a week.
What a thick cunt. :D:D:D
I drink nutriblasts and I feel terrific. Maybe I have a higher endurance threshold than your average male.
That is unsustainable, recovery is half the workout. Break it down to build it up. You need to rest to rebuild. You can train 5 days a week but alternate muscle groups.

Well squatting every day has very little to do with Endurance for a start.
But I’d be near certain you are shearing your lower lumbar region. Not to mention the even great of an irritable little cunt you will become from the cumulative fatigue.
I really hope you are a young lad, cos otherwise you are one stupid impressionable adult.

You are not the forum’s strength and conditioning expert so please leave the advice to guys like @ChocolateMice who know what they are talking about. You are also negating the impact nutriblasts and Positive Mental Visualisation (PMV) have on a person’s limitations.
