How many days off after leg day?

[joshua]

usually after leg day I am super sore and it's hard for me to even walk
I was wondering what you thought would be the best option after a leg day and how long i need to recover? not just when I should do my next workout but also the next day I should train legs again. Should I be waiting a full week in between?

if you train your legs like this take a full week off .. in other words you train legs once a week

you can work your calves more often though

until you can walk again

Split the days up so it’s not so bad. Do a ham focused day then do a quad focused day

you need to deload and not slam your legs that much every time

Most guys are good to do once per week. Some more serious guys may split push and pull muscles for legs on different days.

take as much break as your body weeks.....if your body demands a week.....then take a week.......

If you're experiencing muscle soreness, you may need only two or three days of rest. Another option is to alternate your workouts to avoid overusing certain muscle groups.
