SOO many people only working out UPPER BODY

[Kevster89]

I honestly feel like everytime I hit the gym now I notice more and more guys ONLY working their upper body...

Does anybody get this feeling/notice this as well? You see these dudes walkin around with huge arms and chests, but u look at their legs and they are skinny down to the bone.

Its ridiculous...

[Immith]

Well, i have a leg only day, every other day has no legs... maybe you just dont go on their leg day...

I agree man but the chick like those muscles, look at it this way your ahead of the game.

I walk everyday and sometimes ride my bike. That's good enough.

Actually I'll probably start wearing ankle weights and lift my knees higher for a more intence workout. My legs will get huge this way.

[Hellboy_37334]

I was giving my friend **** about not working out legs because he was doing sit ups with this legs crossed in the air and it looked disgusting and his reply was, "no one sees my legs anyways so what's the point."

[--A7X--]

i only do them once every 2 weeks cause of my wrecked knees, i can hardly do squats so i have to use the leg press where i can only do half reps, i do ride my bike to the gym and back and play alot of sport

lol squats n dead the same day lol wut

[niospecv]

I do legs twice a week so I definitely try to keep a proportioned body.

[DaDomeSplitter]

u do realize that deadlifts work legs too right?

you do realize that it works more of your back and that both lifts are extremely taxing to your CNS. How do you have enough energy to do both? You're a noob!

i be laughing at chumps like you in the gym...

[dumac]

only people who workout at my school gym is the football team and since they need leg strength they split upper and lower body 50/50. i focus slightly more on my upper body

[Matt42]

I was actually at the gym 4 hours ago, we have 3 power racks, one of which has the safety bars on the side broken.

For the first time in the 2 months since I started I actually had to wait because there were two people doing squats, then they started deadlifting at the racks and I realized they were actual non-weekend warriors and I just tested my luck with the no safety bar one rather then wait. Had to cut a few of my sets short because I wasnt sure I'd make the last reps and didnt have anything to catch the bar if I didnt.

That **** was annoying, I'd prefer nobody worked legs, power rack all to myself then, well except for a few days like yesterday when some guys were suppersetting bro curls with the bar and pushups.

I do not see this sorta thing.Of course,then again,I havent belonged to a gym since june of 05.I remember everyone hiding they're legs though.
At my Job,being an Unloader,everyone's legs get naturally built up from pullin all those big heavy pallets off the truck and walkin em all the way to the store floor.
Getting Big Legs to go along with building the upper body bigger takes that much more Protein and Caloric Intake.The nutrition part is SOHHH
much harder when trying to nutritionally support and enable Big Leg Growth/Gains.
3000 calories a day and around 150 grams of protein is plenty sufficient for me to maintain my upper body and keep my legs halfway decent.
I would need around 5000 calories and well over 200 grams of protein daily to support an attempt at getting substaintially bigger legs though.
I just simply dont wanna eat THAT MUCH.....I'd Get Myself Sick.

No wonder..."taxing to the CNS" LOL


More like "Im a pussy and i dont like to push myself"

[eatsleephate]

Squats make your penis look smaller. Seriously.

But, I do them cause the ladies love my butt.

[JerG]

Some people don't care about how big their legs are. Why should you care about them?

Do you really give a **** whether some other casual lifter squats or not? Get your priorities straight.

[SomeoneStopMe]

if someone justs want to get a beach body then let them, who cares, not everyone is training for olympia.

i have read this many times, and a lot of people would agree that your supposed to keep ur deads and leg day as far as part as possible, i do my deads with my back day, most experienced lifters do.

-"the chicks dont care...they just want ya to sweet talk em"

ok just stating what i have read and heard from people that are pretty knowlegeable people about lifting. post this in the excersize lifting section or steriod section and see what people say. the majority would do their deads and squats on different days.

and you need to eat ALOT more to support and enable leg training/leg growth.

[SomeoneStopMe]

Personally for me mixing Deads and Squats together cause new growth to occur.

This is my experience from years of lifting. It has increased my agility, and my explosive strength.

I can also Lat PullDown 280lbs on the machine for 8-10 reps.

But yea i can see why some people would not want to do that.

weight and height? jw.
