I've started lifting and 3 days after my first deadlifts

Better amputate before they get gangrene

I realize it sounded stupid, but they're pretty damn swollen.

I though the picture was a burn victim. Man dream vision is pretty spooky4me.

don't know man. First thing that comes to mind is DOMS. Could be blood pooling due to injury and doms.

>>38459651
Your muscles are inflamed as fuck. Relax and recuperate.

>>38459651
Same thing happened after my first workout it's very likely to just be really bad DOMS, keep up the routine and it gets less sore post workout after two weeks

Do lots of stretches pre and post workout, makes everything less sore

Hello newfriend.

>>38459651
it's all the new muscle piling on, weigh yourself when you can move again and you'll be like 5 pounds heavier
noob gains = better than steroids

Happened to my left tricep a few days after skullcrushers (for the first time), had to skip a few workouts because of it, sticking to compound movements only now til I get my strength up.

I thought it was rhabdo but it subsided by itself, take a week or two off til it heals completely, and if you're worried, see a doc, it MIGHT be rhabdo, but chances are, as a beginner, it's very unlikely. As long as your actual muscle feels fine under the swelling, and you don't suspect a tear or something of that sort, it should heal itself fairly quickly, might take longer than a week because leg muscles are much larger.

thats what everything looked like to me the first time i did acid. some nice nostalgia feels coming through right now, good times

How do noob gains work, I lost 20 lbs with major setbacks now I'm 6'2 140. All of it seems to go to my quads.

>>38459700
Just inflammation because your muslces aren't used to it.

>>38459651

DOnt listen to these people....if your thighs have literally swollen up go see a fuckin docter....
if they are just sore...STFU
