haha. I think you should just wait. It'll probly clear up in about half an hour

Haha. Just don't do things like that. You just exhaust yourself and it takes a long to recover from so it's not really good exercise if you plan to do anything.

I was working out with some swole intense people about a year ago and I ended up doing a shitload of leg exercises (which I didn't train often). I like 50 reps of a leg press I couldn't handle (not sure how I got there) and strained like everything. I couldn't get out of bed the first day, so I just slept. The second day I got food went back and slept. It took over a week before I was fully mobile.

Don't do this. The best thing you can do is get up and walk your bitch pains out.

Lactic acid...double edge sword. It lets you know you've worked every fiber in your muscle group the first day. However it's discomforting as hell (soreness). Some stretching, warming up and down before your workouts, and plenty of water should help clear it out a bit faster. Takes anywhere from three days to a week to recover, however it doesn't mean you should stop working out. Give yourself 48-72 hours before working out again...and do the same workout. It shouldn't come back again.

You idiots know that you can rupture a muscle with overtraining?
A bit of sore muscle is ok, but there's a limit to what you should do.

Working out three to four times a week is FAR from over training. 72 hours and he's good to go again.

If you do stretching, make sure it's very, very light and easy. Overstretching can easily screw up a strained muscle.

You can easily overtrain working a single muscle multiple times a week. You can overtrain working a muscle once a month. For example, I can do about 5 chinups in a row. One day as part of my workout, I did 50 chinups broken into sets of 5. After the third set I couldn't do any more full chinups, and did negatives for the remaining 7 sets. After this I literally was unable to do one complete chinup for a month.

This was stupid; one should NEVER attempt to do full effort on a new exercise. Partial effort should be used, so recovery time can be properly assessed afterwards. If recovery time was too short, add more intensity next time. If recovery time was too long, reduce the intensity.

That 72 hours shit is not appropriate for any arbitrary amount of work done on muscles; more work needs more rest. You should rest until your muscles feel fully recovered. There's no need to do another workout if you haven't recovered from your last one. All that said, I can understand why 72 hours has become a common timelimit; it's likely that anyone who has been training regularly for at least a couple months would have such a maximum recovery time.
