Any idea what I did wrong?
 

Last night I was doing lunges on the smith machine and hurt my left quad. About my 10th rep it starting burning/pulling so I didn't do anymore (or my last set). I was only doing 20 pounds so I don't think I had too much weight. I did do them last in my routine. I'm wondering if I stepped back too far with that leg? Last night it was really hurting, like I couldn't put any weight on it. This morning I skipped cardio to give it some rest. It's feeling ok now but I haven't done much. I was sooo worried I was going to be out for a week or more. I just want to make sure it doesn't happen again! So any ideas?

Thanks!

No idea, but had to comment on your new avatar - you certainly changed! :rofl: Was it you who's DH works for CourtTV? The outcome of our trial was unexpected, no? I'm sure she's guilty, but I'm not on the jury!

Hehe, yea a little. That's actually my future husband (I wish!), just don't tell my current husband :o

No, sorry. Not me with the CourtTV.

We talk and talk and talk about planning ahead. Cardio tomorrow, weights on Friday, in my next life, the next time I go shopping, the next time I get married to an Olympic athlete .....

I don't know, but the Smith machine does have a reputation as a knee wrecker, because it forces you to lift in an unnatural motion.

Why not just grab a couple of 10# dumbells for your lunges?

Next time I'm just saying "no thanks, I like being single." :rofl: Really, I love my DH of nearly 35 years, but no way am I doing it again....
