Leg Day Motivator!

[DarrenConroy]

True straight leg dead lifts yesterday and my hammies are TOAST!! It hurts to sit, walk, drive, think, talk etc.... Yeah Buddy!

[spitonem]

lettuce be cereal... if you need motivation to do leg day, you dont lift.

I used to do legs every monday but ever since I came accross this thread I've upped it to twice per week. FEELS GREAT! My squat is going up 5-10lbs a week and I'm gaining in my bench and rows too.

Cheers OP!

since splitting my leg day into 2 days, quads/hams and calves i've seen great results. Ive especially noticed my calves gaining some mass which is exciting, guess they just needed that extra attention.

Glad you like the thread! It definitely helps get your mind in the right place and gives us guys a different outlook on a workout that most would want to avoid.

Cheers!

I agree with you 100%! I have been guilty to just skipping out on calves early just because I killed my quads and hammies earlier in the workout. Now by splitting those big muscles I am able to give my calves 100% of the attention that they need and deserve!

haha awyeah leg day!

i used to hate it but after seeing the results its awesome.
Plus i love the fact that i always train in the morning and the only people in my gym then are old people or people doing cardio.
so when im grunting out my last squat i know i got an audience :P

I know that while you are over there pushing with all you have, you are motivating all of those around you! Keep doing work! Maybe one day they'll join you!

Legit! Great physique!

GlycerGrow, Green Mag and White Flood = Quads pumped beyond belief!

In a month I've gone from 365x1 to 405x3 on Squats. Starting to drop a squat day for a deadlift day, hopefully they complement eachother nicely.

What is a good leg measurement? I know that it's all relative, but we can say that 18 inch arms are large and 20 inch arms are huge.

Hit a personal best on dead lifts today!
225-10
315-8
365-6
385-6
The rest of the workout was good as well, I walked out of the gym in shambles! This is gonna hurt tomorrow!

How often do you see those guys at the gym that are constantly training their chest and arms. Eventually those individuals become topheavy and have to resort to wearing pants to the gym everyday to cover up their chicken legs.

I wear pants every time but I also have relatively strong legs (315x8 squat several sets). Forever small calves though. Feelsbadman.

You are not alone my friend! I to have had trouble getting my calves to grow.. I just keep chipping away at them and hope one day they'll grow.. Good numbers though!

I will be there tomorrow as Sunday is for legs. I've stepped it up to two days a week for now so it seems like as soon as the soreness is gone its time for the next leg day.

Agreed! I train Quads on Wednesdays and Hamstrings on Saturdays... It works out perfect! Watch them grow!!

[DarrenConroy]

Saturday = Hamstrings, Calves and Abs... I know they say curls for the girls, but what is the slogan for dead lifts?? Anyone???

Deadlifts are for girls too. Actually everything is for girls.....if only more of them knew that.

Well said! I know that girls don't like those guys that are top heavy.. Gotta have a good set of wheels as well!

legs are just one of those routines i love to do however i do look forward to finishing because of how much you have to push to get the most from the wo and the pain your body endures during it but it is a good feeling when youve finished the wo that its another week till you feel the burn through the legs again

Yep. As with all workouts it's cool to see what you can actually accomplish if you push yourself. On Thursday I did 120 lb leg extensions which is a personal best. I had to talk myself into it. Telling myself I could do it. When I did, it felt so good. Of course I got home and was so psyched that I had to tell my husband. He was like "oh that's great honey."

Me: SIGH!

trained legs today in between sets getting the feeling of wanting to throw up/pass out then when you get to the end and have held it all together was the best feeling knowing youve pushed your self to a limit and managed to go the distance the next couple of days are gonna be a bit rough but cant wait for next week

I know the feeling.. sometimes I think all of those around me get tired of me saying that "today was the best workout ever!" I guess I say it a lot..

[bclutch23]

OP, i will continue to workout legs.. just for you.

[RangerDanger51]

Legs are killing me. I had my leg day on friday and they're still giving me problems. I had to go to the mall to get a few things for work yesterday and a couple of my buddies tagged along. Needless to say, they kept leaving me behind without even realizing it because I was walking like I shat my pants. And even when they would walk with me I'm sure people who passed by thought "Look, those guys are being nice to the special guy!" Still totally worth it

[TigerBulk]

Doing squats 3 times a week on starting strength (3x5). Have plateaued once on the squats, but I've reset and am currently pushing to break through. Squats this morning went OK and I'm mentally preparing for Wednesday
