Why Are My Quads Feeling Tight, Pumped, and Hard?

When I went into the forums today I had a great question posed by one of the girls. Between sets in Superset 1, my quads felt really tight ; I tried to do a lot of stretching--as much as possible between sets. I continued that throughout each superset...

I was going to take all kinds of credit for this statement and then decided I shall not steal and give credit where credit is due. My own trainer today said something to me during my back workout that was so on target that I wanted to run from the gym...

Workouts That Are Not Created Equal
