new kind of pain

i've discovered a new kind of pain. actually, strike that, i've just come up with a silly name for an old, familiar pain.

you know the old saying, "it hurts so much it's not even funny", don't you? well, my legs hurt so much it is funny. i am laughing at myself and the comically over-the-top pain in my legs. it's funny for two reasons: because it's incredibly painful, impedes my walking, sitting, and standing, and yet it's totally harmless. it was also entirely expected.

i deadlifted on friday, and just because i also squatted. when i get back into a squat/dead routine, there is no amount of warmup/cooldown exercises that will forestall the inevitable painful-to-the-point-of-hilarity DOMS that i can look forward to enjoying for the following week.

i expect to stop laughing at this walk-inhibiting pain sometime around friday.

haw haw haw!
