Q: FOllowing a one week break I decided to add ten pounds to my squat. After doing four set of 8 at 215lbs for the entire next week my legs hurt. They hurt really bad the first few days, then it got a little better. When it was time to do squats again they still hurt. Is it better to skip it for another week, or hit them a little less, or do the same weight again?

A: Skip squats until your legs fully recover. Coming back after the break and adding more weight always results in most muscle soreness, so next week you should be back to normal.
