Every time you skip leg day, you lose a chunk of your brain.

Who has legs today? I do. How to you get yourself pumped for leg day, especially if you've been working out for a few years? Share your leg day motivation methods. And if you enjoy leg day, that's great too.

[Ben76]

Already done. Some nice squats at 85% no belt, then a clean/front squat/push jerk combo, ham/glute raise/RDL compound set, calves and vertimax then 40 minutes of agilities.

You'll never reach the thousand pound club without some heavyass squats, and your deadlift will be shot with weak legs.

Girls like legs too

[basamin]

Hmm, Well in my opinion legs are just as important as other major muscles so I never skip it, also, I train in a way so I could compete in a couple of years, and with chicken legs, you dont stand a chance

Ha, that kind of made me want to go work legs right now...

[Mono]

i always lack motivation for legs, thats changing this summer

That's what they all say

[Catch39]

I dont know how true it is, but "they" say that working legs increases free testosterone production.

Had leg day yesterday.

Love training legs so I don't need to get my self "pumped for a legday" since I'm already "pumped" for it even some days before.

I dont know how true it is, but "they" say that working legs increases
free testosterone production.

It's true.



My leg day yesterday: (It was really heavy)

Squat x 6, x 5, x 6

Leg press x 4, x 6

Stiffleg 2 x 6

Calf raise in machine 2 x 8-10

Calf raise in leg press 2 x 8-10

[iMatt69]

I know which I would prefer!

[NeedToBeBig]

I get motivated by thinking to my self... Who do I want to be, a b1tch, or a man... then I go and do my legs. (serious)

[EZ-Bar]

because only b1tches have a strong/big upper body and chicken legs.

but seriously if you really push yourself every time leg days are scary, and that makes it 10x as awesome when you get in there despite your fear and pump that **** out.

[NeedToBeBig]

its true. if you wont do legs youre a b1tch.

[Skrawny Beefcak]

yea i think leg are a chore too..i do them, but definately notas hard as upper body

[Abdominatrix]

I did too. I had no motivation at all today, except that some of the bigger guys at my college gym have a bigger upper body and chicken legs. it feels good to know i'm doing something better than them

[jochexum]

if youll just start doing them as hard as everything else youll start enjoying them more...

once i realized the huge pump i could get in my quads if id actually push myself on legs days i started to really enjoy it.

but seriously just take pride in what youre doing...why waste your time in the gym doing something half assed when you can do it right and get a lot more out of it?

legs are the biggest muscle group, putting on muscle there will help keep your bf% down since youll be burning more calories, also increases testosterone levels...if you want to have a good upper body youre gonna need a lower body to support it...not to mention dont you want to look proportional???

[NeedToBeBig]

/\
hes right

[An0nymous]

I enjoy doing legs the most out of any day, my shoulder/trap day is the one I need motivation with.

[gobbles]

Legs would have to be my favorite day(serious) because nothing feels better then an all out leg day.
How do i get pumped up? loud music, and staring the bar down, like i'm telling it "thats right, you're my b****"

[Sun Field]

I enjoy doing legs the most out of any day, my shoulder/trap day is the one I need motivation with.

I'm like this too. We probably don't like doing shoulders because they're a much less consequential muscle group than legs.

I love working legs and there's no muscle group I'd rather have than huge legs, the problem I have with them is finding out how to vary my leg workouts with different exercises (I find myself just doing squats and leg press, then feeling confused as to what to do next).

I need to learn how to do jump squats and pistol squats.

[ee33ee]

It's been said, but a lot of times I fear doing legs because they are such a large muscle group.

An easy leg workout will always be harder than an easy chest workout, a hard legworkout will always be harder than a hard chest workout, etc.

I know that even when I feel ****ty I can usually force a decent chest workout, but I cant do the same for legs... I have to feel it. But when I do, its the best feeling in the world right after.

Well I'm off, squats ftw

Get yourself into the gym, drag yourself there, the motivation shouldnt be a factor once you are around the weights, its not like you're going to run away from them, you're there go do it.

I lift in my garage, so i could very well just walk out however, I've watched Mike Miller squat a few times (youtube) before leg day to make myself feel like i have something to prove...to whom i have no idea.

[xxflash]

my motivation is squats make your whole body grow

[magnate]

This is always good for a watch too:

Matt Kroczaleski is a beast, he has a 30 Wide grip chin video out on youtube as well where the form nazis actually try and say he is cheating himself, made me laugh. 2nd strongest man in his weight class, EVER, cheating himself by not doing full range of motion, as if these kids know whats going to work for him that he hasn't figured out yet. /rant

[cbat28]

I skip leg day waaaaaay too much. I use my left knee tendinitis as my excuse. It's not a good idea.

[SS_Goku]

You gotta learn to love the pain.

[remix26]

i did legs 2 days ago. feeling it

5 sets of SQUATS. 10, 6, 6, 6, 5 . id say pretty good amount of weight for me

5 sets of LEG PRESS(angled). 8, 6, 5, 5, 5 (all the way down, real heavy. Over 720 and thats good for a 16 yr old )

4x6 DEAD LIFT.

5 sets of STATIONARY LUNGES. 10, 5, 5 , 5 , 5(dumbells )

and 5 sets of that hack squat machine

seated calve raise, standing, the 1 where u bend over with weight on your lowerback and the angled calve raise that u sit on (i need more ideas for calves)

did single leg curls(standing), lying down leg curls(both legs) and seated leg curl for hamstrings (dead lift and lunges worked hammies too)

[KyleY]

Going to kill my legs about 1 hour from now. About to prepare my purple drink and get my playlist ready. Can't wait to start it off with 3 sets of 5, heavy ATG squats. Then I kick it up a notch with explosive box squats. Then I take my squats to an even higher level and do some jump squats. Gotta get that vert up baby. After this, I stagger over and rep out with my Stiff Legged deads. Then from there, single leg on the leg press, super setted with calf raises on the leg press. I finish it off with some lunges and the calf machine.

I ****ing love leg day.
