Fuck leg day indeed. It does give you a mighty feeling of accomplishment when it's done tho. I personally hope to still be squatting into my eighties.



Sounds like some bullshit a boot camp drill sergeant would say.



Eventually, most learn to enjoy the soreness, and being tired enough to fall right asleep when you want to does have it's benefits. It becomes a comfort more than an offense, which certainly helps take the edge off.

Eventually when you're no longer forcing yourself to eat a caloric deficit for goals, you also won't need to be hungry. But yeah, it does suck in the meantime. Try more fibrous fillers, and anytime you're hungry put water in your face. Both will help you to not feel as hungry.
Thanks. Good advice. Yeah I’m looking forward to a calorie maintenance phase once I hit my weight loss goal. I’m still going to continue healthy eating choices, but it will be nice to have larger portions & the occasional cheat meal.

Yesterday I did both yard work in the middle of the day (108 degrees here) and later worked out legs. This time we introduced more weight with squats, lunges, farmers walk, etc. I feel like Lieutenant Dan this morning.
