Today I’m feeling particularly sore after my leg workout yesterday. This is quite normal and you should expect the same. This is just a by product of training with such intensity, which is what you have to do in order to force those results. To help alleviate my tender muscles today, I’m visiting Dr. Watson again for my back realignment and electric pulse treatment. This helps reduce tension within my muscles, which facilitates quicker recovery between workouts.

Then it’s time for another chest and shoulders workout!
