My quads are extremely sore?!
Question: My quads are extremely sore?
On monday i did some lifting for the first time in a month. The leg excercises i did were leg press, squats with weight, lunges with weight and thats it for legs. My legs since then are extremely weak and sore. They keep buckling and ive even fallen on stairs. It is extremely painful to get up, sit down, and going up and down stairs, especially down stairs. Is this normal because i've never been this sore from a workout.

You might want to see a doctor, soon. There is a condition called rhabdomyolysis that can be caused by doing an extremely strenuous workout that you aren't conditioned for. If you are so sore that your legs are giving out, it might be a good idea to get checked. The byproducts of the muscle breakdown in this condition can reach levels that are damaging to your internal organs, so it can be serious. I doubt this is happening, but better safe than sorry. Good luck.
