That's a decent enough rest I suppose. Are you changing your leg workout each time? sets/reps/exercise?

How I mean is that the muscle building process isn't complete as DOMS ends, some will argue this point but the process is as follows :

Trauma > micro-tears > repair > growth

The trauma being you forcing you muscles to deplete there glycogen levels.

Micro years being the muscle breaking down and rupturing due to the incapability to sustain such a high level of trauma.

Repair is then kick started to replace all the necessary glycogen and to replace damaged tissue to return to a healthy state.
DOMS OCCURS DURING THE REPAIR STAGE

Growth is after the muscle has replaced damaged muscle tissue an is built upon to cope with the excessive stress in future instances.

Then we increase intensity and repeat the process again. Your diet as a whole and the readily available protein in your body will determine how quick each process takes to complete.

Thanks guys. Will see how expensive glutamate and bcaa's are. I probably don't stretch enuff either. Every meal is high in protein tho

 
Get Glutamine and BCAA's and Creatine. I assume you mean Glutamine not Glutamate?

Just on doms everybody varies - some suggest the aerobically fitter guys recover faster - maybe because the aerobic sessions help to flush the lactate from the body etc.

lol sorry posted that one on my iphone and i always do typos when i use it

lately yes, there have been a lot of front squats involved that i havent done much of before
