    Hi I have recently been back to the gym (haven’t been in 2 months) and I was training legs on Saturday and I now have really sore quads. Whenever I bend down it’s difficult and when I’m getting into my car it’s painful. Anyone else ever have this problem? How do I get the pain away and should I still train legs or just with less volume ? Thanks

    Suppose it depends. Is it muscle pain or ligament/tendon? How severe is the pain? Has it been decreasing/increasing/consistent?

    It's just doms, start light and build the weight up slowly. Most people would have doms from doing bodyweight squats if they hadn't lifted in 2 months. I squatted for the first time in 2 weeks on Monday and my legs are still in shreds, I kept it light as well.

    Assuming it's not joint pain and based solely in the muscles, then you're grand. Just going to have to get over it. You won't be nearly as bad after the next leg session and again after that. If you really want relief, then go for short walks and just keep moving. If watching TV tonight, try a few squat sits which will be sore AF, but get easier the more you try.

    When i have DOMS going up the stairs or bending over to pick stuff up, or tie my shoes is the worst. But then I actually get under the bar and do some proper movements... and it's grand
