I can fully understand why some people don't work legs

[Loswaldo]

Ever seen a cyclist?

[IraHays]

And for what? Nobody notices,

Is that why you work out?

[lolmuscle127]

And seeing this thread reeks of *******ry

wtf. that is the definition of a flat ass.

[rob112]

to each his own i guess but i like working my legs. squats are one of the best exercises there is. plus man, it helps if you work out for more then just to have people look at you. seriously.

[LunicaAshes]

wtf. that is the definition of a flat ass.

And that is exactly why leg day is important.

Thread has come full circle?

[LTrem]

I loved leg day.

Until an Inguinal Hernia poped in my groin area.

I ****ing hate leg day now.

FFFUUUUUUUUU!!!!

[MattRage]

since i started really training my legs.. ive seen an increase in all my lifts.. so while not the funnest wo day.. i enjoy the overall benifits very much.. and its fun to watch peoples faces when your doing deep leg presses with all the weight the rack will hold.. feels good man..

[jakobi]

why do you think i work my legs in the first place? coz i used to have chicken legs....
i can easily tell if the person have chicken legs or big legs....

-im 5'9 and when i sit down next to a person who's taller than me....comparing my legs and his legs...my legs oversized his legs.....height difference

-pants on, big legs look wider than chicken legs

same thing with guys that have big lats...they look wider as opposed to guys with no lats...with shirts on...

Before you neg me, I do work legs.

But lets be honest, legs are the hardest work for the least payoff. You kill your legs with squats, lunges, leg press, etc., leaving yourself light-headed as you exit the gym, unable to walk for a few days afterward. And for what? Nobody notices, especially if you wear jeans all the time. Even if you wear shorts, people only see your calves. (In before "you should lift for yourself, blah, blah, blah)

People will post a pic of someone with a good physique, and other posters will try tearing them down to console themselves by saying, "he doesn't work legs" or "leg pics."


In before:
---people neg me due to their own strong reading comprehension.
--- people trying to act hardcore.
---90% of the misc claims they love leg day
---my stats are posted as if that proves anything
---this thread becomes about me
---major shitstorm

you've got ta train legs, brahs.

Would rep but on recharge. I lol'd

[PickItUp]

If you want to burn fat, you need to do more cardio right? And since cardio work majority of the times includes your legs, why not have really strong legs to take your cardio workouts to the next level?

Well...the soreness from a strong leg day can be more than 4 days. I have gone almost a week in the past...and that meant no cardio for almost a week.

If you plan to be heavily involved in cardio, I would not risk the DOMS or even injury to the legs until you are done with the need for regular cardio. If bulking, GO FOR IT. IF cutting, do it lightly once a week so that you aren't out of comission for too long on your cardio.

[vik_man]

i love quad pumps.

whenever i flex quads after leg day i get the biggest boner for some reason

[ianianian]

i admit I do HATE doing legs

heavy (for me) squats and lunges suck donkey balls

My perspective (caring only about the aesthetic side of things) i train them for a few reasons

1. wide hips/ large glutes can give you a better V shape illusion
2. CHICK DIG A NICE ASS ON A DUDE (fact)
3. Theory that squats release more test
4. in the summer you can wear shorts that are short enough to show off the quads but long enough so that people don't question your sexuality

[Diesel05]

i blame them because....

when you work legs it releases growth hormones in your body... which help all your muscles

have you ever seen someone with huge muscular legs and puny arms? There is a reason you haven't

ever seen a cyclist? they have huge legs with small arms

[Lotto20]

I used to train legs religiously. Till I started to get insane pain in my left knee from doing deep squats. I have naturally thick strong legs . I walk an hour everyday plus do hiit for cardio 3 times a week so my legs are far from out of shape.

And to those that say u need to train legs to grow. I gained 20 pounds on my bulk not touching squats.

But I may be the minority I don't know

[safi connection]

i always lol @ these threads cos first people are like:

"MAN YOU GOTTA TRAIN LEGS, YOUR BODY WANTS TO GROW IN PROPORTION SO IF YOU DONT'T TRAIN LEGS YOU'LL NEVER GET BIG"

then in the very next paragraph will be like

"MAN I ALWAYS SEE HUGE DUDES WITH CHICKEN LEGS LOOKS RIDICULOUS SO YOU GOTTA TRAIN LEGS!"

make up your mind..

[Josh81]

i've never had a day where i couldn't walk afterwards, after a few weeks you don't even get sore after leg workouts anymore



my squat went up to 315x5 on rippetoes


stop your btching and work your legs

[scrace]

errrbody wanna be stylin but nobody wanna wear no tight ass jeans.

[Amsterdammerr]

I do squats, but I am inclined not to do them and will be throwing them out of my schedule soon.

My form is ****ty, and there is no one around in my gym who knows how to do the correct form, or is willing to take time out to teach me how to squat correctly.

Dont wanna **** up my knees so soon because of ****ty form

[thetruth21]

I hate leg day, but I love being able to jump higher and run faster.

[Mac_xX]

Doesnt squats/deads release testosterone or help produce it? Or is that just dat der broscience?

Anyways, I do hang cleans/full cleans on leg day so it builds core as well as legs. Same with squats.

Leg workouts are essential since I play varsity sport.

[TeenMisc]

It all depends on your goals. If you want to gain mass, you'll look bad with chicken legs even with a great upper body. If you're an athlete however and are just trying to get faster, quicker, weight training which targets the legs is not necessary (unless very tiny untrained legs) but rather doing plyos and speed drills will me way more important. But no matter what your fitness goals, there are certain parts of the body that must be trained with resistance to give one the strongest base possible, such as core,back,shoulder,hip flexors. Someone corect me if Im wrong since this is just in my opinion.

[affy]

i just squat once or twice on bicept days

[plasmicfury]

It's good because:

1. Your legs grow fast
2. You can lift a respectable amount of weight with them
3. I'd rather not have chicken legs


Also, your legs don't really hurt for that long after the workout if you consistently work them out. Usually only a day.

[proconsul]

have you ever seen someone with huge muscular legs and puny arms? There is a reason you haven't

Actually, that was me before December. Finally discovered the other half of the gym late in life. I've been furiously working chest/shoulders/back for the first time in my life so that I can get some balance. Former rugby player (scrumhalf) and bike guy, hence the quads, hams and calves.

[turbotoast]

The good girl/bad girl machine doesn't count.

It's called the Yes/No machine in my gym. funny thing is they moved it so it doesn't face the wall of mirrors anymore lol.

I used that machine after my squats, is it homo?

I have never seen a guy on that machine. However I have seen some women on there I wish I hadn't.
