I don't like doing legs with my upper body so I have a separate day when I do legs and I swear it takes all the will power in me to go to the gym to do it. I hate leg press, squats, calf raises, etc. But I don't wanna look like an idiot with a huge upper body and chicken legs.

    A simple co-sign would not do this statement justice. I hate when leg day shows up... it just ruins the rest of my day. Can barely stand and ? , just feel like your walking on jello or something for the next couple hours

    I don't have a leg day, I just mix in a little legs every time I go in. 5 sets of back squats, front squants, lunges, one legged squats, 3 way lunges, all that ? , but never in the same day.

    I'm actually starting to not mind leg day that much. I still hate doing squats though. I do a heavy leg day. I think I hated it so much because it's not like you can show them off when u leave the gym like u can your chest, shoulders, arms.

    Hard squats are so dynamic, you use so much of your body it makes it suck, but it's so good for your overall strength it's so important people do them. They increase testosterone which is gonna make you bigger elsewhere.


    I actually kinda like the feeling of blood rushing to my legs and feeling my compression shorts tighten up as my legs get swole.

    I dread doing legs. I advoid it like the plague honestly. I work out my legs maybe like 3x a month. I can honestly say that I give a flying hoot about legs. I ain't no professional body builder and I don't plan on competing. So why do legs? Yeah, I know the usual reasons. But who cares. I lift for me and nobody else. I just have no desire and no motivation to do them. So im not going to bother to train them seriously. Maybe i'll have a change of heart one day, but I don't think I will.

    I do legs on Monday because and have done so for years because I will probably blow it off it I have it later in the week. I work legs, lower back and Abs on Monday, delt, tri's and pecs (Push) midweek and upper back and bi's (Pull) later in the week. I have every squat I have ever done but my legs are a weak point on my body so I gotta.

    this should just be called The Justice League thread.

    Legs are essential.

    If any of y'all dudes shoot hoops, you know that legs are important. How else can you grab a rebound over everyone if you jumpin with chicken legs?

    When I was younger, my leg press was well over 600lbs. Last time I did leg press, I maxed out at 425 because of the strain on my lower back (gotta get that toughened up). I can still do curls/extensions with 195lbs+. Calf raises are exceeding 500lbs on a Hammer Strength machine.

    Gotta hit the legs hard, don't be a wimp, just take the pain.

    If you hate leg day you are an idiot. Leg's have so much potential mass, if you are neglecting them you are failing to reach your real potential.

    Also, switch it up. There are so many different exercises besides regular squats and leg press. Ex. deadlifts, reverse lunges, bulgarian split squats, barbell step ups, other variations of squats.

    Legs are my favorite bodypart to work. I work them twice per week because I'm doing Westside for Skinny ? 3. I use to work them 3 times a week when I was doing 5x5
