THIS is why no one does LEGS

[strengthgained]

*Assuming you haven't done them recently, and you decide to hit them*

-hit legs, all is well

-day 1 post-leg day: oh wow I'm sore, this sucks but it's not as
bad as I expected...

-day 2 post leg-day: Sweet Jesus God above please grant me swift death
Can't sit on toilet
Can't walk
can't straighten legs out
Can't fold leg too much
Can't think cause he pain is too much


-One week of the above^ goes by

Okay time to hit legs again now that I'm off my wheel chair


^Repeat process up to 5x before legs stop being obliterated

that pain is addicting. When you recover you get a new appreciation for your legs and that nader between pain and recovery is ecstasy.

Is that how your stomach feels after every meal?

[chickenallday]

i dont mind the soreness, its my heart feeling like its going to explode during the workout that makes me wanna quit legs

[homunculus]

Soreness goes away eventually, and you should ease into any workout

Problem with most is that they go 100% the first time and feel horrible for many days and get unmotivated

This. You have to build and slowly work on your conditioning, work capacity, and movement patterns.

People go in and do like 8 exercises go as hard as possible on every one for their first session. You'll be sore for 10 days lol

Twice a week high volume leg days are what made my legs grow to 26.5 inches without pump. Same with my calves, I had to work them 3-4 times a week but they blew up.

[2RDEYE]

people who don't train legs are gross. like i can't take anyone seriously who has stick legs and no muscle at all

[BearTactics]

Lol the OP is very true but nothing feels better when you work through it and you're in there getting wheels while all the curl bros watch and they know you're about that life.

5x5 squats, 4x8 leg press, and leg extensions, I'm fuking done srs. So much lactic acid, pain, and inability to walk. Holy chit. Legs throbbing thinking about it

[Zerafian]

more like because hitting legs doesnt do sh*t for calves and everyone thinks small calves= you dont do legs.

[PathToSage]

Just stretch everyday. It'll be weird to get used to at first but a good mobility routine+legday=HNGGGG

[AngusPeppered]

Used to train legs hard and when I was in the groove of training them probably 3 times a week they never got unbearably sore. Started getting knee problems so now I only do minimal leg work (no squats or deadlifts) once a week.

Edit: I didn't quit bc I'm too lazy to train legs. I had a little over a 4 plate squat and 5 plate deadlift. No matter how hard I trained them they weren't going to make my calves grow so I decided it wasn't worth the recurring knee problems

[AngusPeppered]

This. I have a big ass and thighs but looks like I have chicken legs in shorts despite my calves being strong and relatively sculpted

Yep. Throw in 4x15 for calf raises. I ended up doing like 8 sets total cause I was in the zone for calves but I'm walking like a velociraptor now

[BrahPlease]

I dont do legs cuz legs are genetic. Plus i dont wanna have to get hip and knee replacement when im 60 just because i "did leg day" back in the day.

Hips and knees werent designed for having "leg days", they are made to last only long enough so you can walk and run until your like 80. Nothing more.

Just lmao.

[Sawyerk1996]

I recommend anyone to try this routine for 3 months. (Twice a week of course)
Calve Press 4x15 Reps
Squat 5x10-4 Reps
Hack Squat 3x12-6 Reps
Leg Press 3x15-8 Reps
Romanian Dead Lifts 3x15-8 Reps
Calve Press 6x10 Reps

I hate legs b/c :

1. The bar on my traps hurts like absolute hell because it literally rubs my bones. My arms can't do much to stop it and they bend uncomfortably if I try to ease the pressure. My wrist is also bummy.

2. Front squats make my vision blur in and out- sometimes I'm seeing black dots and white dots and my face wants to explode.

3. Not once will I ever want to be over 6ft tall and 166lbs. Imagine being the size of me in 8th grade but 4 inches taller. Yikes.

[dingler]

Feeling like I'm about to pass out after a heavy set of squats makes me want to quit legs

[EssexM8]

Will training legs correlate over to running?

The only reason i don't train legs regularly is i run 4-5 times a week and the DOMS (lasts about 5 days) from training legs affect my running schedule so i never train them only occasionally, also i was under the impression that bigger legs will make running more difficult can anyone chime in

[JungleJenetics]

I squat/clean/snatch every training session so pretty much everyday...lots of average lifters ITT lol.
