    Is there anything wrong with going on a hike (like 4-8 miles; approx. 1-2 hours) on the day after leg day?

    I've been going on hikes on the day after leg day and I haven't had any problems as of yet, but I've been told by quite a few lifter friends of mine that they would advise against doing this. Am I working out my legs incorrectly?
