I mean I get about 6-7hrs daily. My work schedule makes things hard, and then with overtime being unpredictable it's hard
That's understandable. DOMs from training legs definitely kicked my ass when starting out, but I gradually acclimated.
How many sessions have lead to 5+ days of this for you so far?
But before that I've done leg press and calf raises and the like, some stationary bike. Free weight with barbells really scared me because I don't want to mess up my back with bad form. Like it scared me to the point that I'd get under the bar and I start shaking because I don't want to mess up. But now I can under there and do it, it's just my legs are really tight and it gets hard getting down into a low squat
If that was your first leg day with barbell back squat, I think 5ish days is understandable.
First time hits different but subsequent sessions will not put you out that long if you keep up with it.
The first leg I've done in 7 years was friday. Before that I was just running 4 days a week(easy run, tempo, interval, and long run). I have huge legs but trying these different compound movements makes me realize how weak I am
