Squats and stiff legged deadlifts.
You gotta stretch though, and it will take a good amount of time before they really loosen up.
Mostly, make sure you never stretch cold muscles or you're asking for an injury.

This last weekend messed me up guys, in many ways.
I went to a quincinyera (sp) for my girls cousin. Stayed out of town at her sisters. We didn't drive so we accompanied others most of the time.
The party itself had a taco bar. I had a lotttt of tacos. Now im not complaining too much, because im bulking...so some tacos isnt a big deal for one night.
However, then the relatives handed out some drinks. Her family is very persistant, i said okay ive worked hard ill have a couple...just one night.
Bad idea. Let to me eating 3 slices of Pizza hut pizza late night.
Next morning, everyone woke up...i asked what we gettin for breakfast, everyone wanted McDonalds :x
Had no choice but to eat something. Had a Filet o Fish, only one bun. Threw the other bun away and they were laughing.
Got home last night... middle of the night i got the chills and woke up with a bed full of sweat :x
Been nursing a high temperature all day. Couldnt get back to the gym. Appetite has been gone all day, so i def didnt hit my macros...not even half.
Just took Nyquil and im hoping i feel better tomorrow so i can make my comeback.
But i still have a high temp and im worried.
CLIFFNOTES:
-Wen't out of town for girls cousins birthday party.
-Stayed with her relatives.
-Nothing but bad eating for a day and a half.
-Had a few drinks.
-Got bad sleep.
-Got really sick early this morning and havent been able to eat.
-Worried about losing my progress with my lean bulk If i cant get back to the gym and my regular eating plan tomorrow.
Can someone help me feel better and let me know that all that combined, and possibly being sick for the next day or two wont ruin my progress... Im a very paranoid person. I dont normally eat like that, it was just hard being out of town unprepared.
I feel like my body just isnt responding well to any of it, this is why i dont do 'cheat meals' and try to stay clean.
and yeah...I know im very hard on myself. Its been a problem of mine. Im just trying to stay as dedicated as possible, i dont like taking steps backward...
You're fine. You can't lose massive progress overnight.
is this real life?
Makes sense. If you do sprint training /hiit, it will get you right. Getting your heart rate up >>>*

Just checked him out, has some cool pics, but I feel like I've seen better fitness IGers. I can try and find them by name, not sure who I follow that's worth posting.

Stretch and do some warmup sets then stretch some more. It's what I do on leg day and works like a charm.

this. matter of fact, coconut oil can be used to anything from eating it and cooking with it to putting it on yambs when smashing but that another topic.
also, started doing pull-up regularly and my abs get destroyed. Is there any other good core exercises b/c im starting to realize i need to work out my core muscles more.

try doing this,
84 jump ropes
21 kettlebell swings
15 pushups
10 toe to bar
see how many sets you can do in 20 minutes.
keep the core tight, specially with the jump ropes and keep that momentum swing going with the toe to bar.

Tried C4 today before hitting my chest workout. Did not feel the pump I thought I would.
