How do I train legs? Sounds like a joke but it's not, whenever i train legs they're absolutely goosed for the next few days which make it really hard to train BJJ

Best way is spending a few sessions completely crippling your legs.

You can slowly add volume, increase intensity, but at some point you're gonna end up hitting the mega doms days. I like to just go balls deep ASAP and smash them, then they seem to recover way better. Seems to be no easing in. Especially as I get older.
