Still sore after a rest day... ok to workout today?

[obsolete29]

My quads and glutes are still sore from doing weighted lunges on Saturday... is it ok to do sumo deadlifts today?

For a little more background, I'm doing a 3 day split full body workout. Weights on Monday, Wednesday and Friday then Cardio on Tuesday/Thursday. Off from the gym on the weekend although we may hike sometimes or play tennis or whatever.

Anyway, this has only recently become a problem as I've moved up in weights and started to be pretty consistant with going to the gym.

If I were to rate the soreness on a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being least sore and 10 being the most sore, I'd say I'm at about a 4.

Thoughts?

Yes, it's okay to work them again today.

I'd work out - no reason to kill yourself though - maybe go a bit lighter until you get used to the higher frequency/consistency.

I had the same question recently, I dropped my weight a bit and worked out anyway. My legs actually felt better afterwards than before!

do some light cardio for the legs to get the blood going in there, it will help

For the record, I felt fine doing my deads... I was actually felt more tired when doing my bench presses so I lightened up the weight a bit.

Anywho, thanks for the replies all.

God bless the deadlift.

Today's thought process in the gym.....

Workout calls for - Swiss ball back extensions.
Swissball being used......

Screw it, I'm deadlifting today! [img]smile.gif[/img]
