I'm not going to pay as much attention to legs any more

[Brother_Trucker]

Seriously. I'm tired of walking like an idiot for five days after a day of heavy squats and deads. No more

I have no desire to be on stage or join the circus so having super human legs just aren't that important to me.

I'm still going to work them but now it's going to be lighter weight and higher reps.

Super sweet dude. Thanks for sharing.

Unless you have naturally well built legs, you're going to look pretty stupid with a broad upper body and small as **** lower body. You should focus on them, even if you don't go extremely heavy.

Well this is a message board after all.

Doesn't end badly though. I broke the 500 mark earlier this year.

Actually my legs are my best part because I have been training for about seven years.

Well than there you go you have the ability to ignore them and not look stupid down the road.

[blancmange]

you can get good results from lighter weights, Getting_big can only use 225lbs i think and he has 27inch legs... I had to cut down to 300lbs max due to injuries as well and they still grow..

High rep squats hey? 20 reps? See how long you can do that for.

[WildHockey]

i did 20 rep squats one time and i think i saw jesus

Many people laud the muscle growing ability of 15-20 rep sets of squats.

Train them more frequently and they won't be as sore. Try training them twice a week (doing half as many sets) in each workout.

But Dom, that would require people to move from their 5 day splits. Heresy!

Exactly, how would we fit that in with all our arm work? Curls get the girls.

I guess the message is it doesn't have to be Rippletoez or an Arnold nuthugging split. Somewhere between those two extremes.

I felt worse going lighter and higher reps than low reps and higher weight lol

If you are experiencing debilitating soreness for five days EVERY time you work the legs, you're doing something wrong.

I'm interested in learning more about 20 rep squats

[unity]

seriously... he doesnt like the soreness so we are recommending 20 rep squats? lol

i like dom's idea.

[JoeyDaFool]

20 reps squats...yea good luck with that, you'll need it

[tuhaka2005]

man i feel like vomitting after doing 12 rep squats

holy crap, unity. Long time no see man. I am not advocating the 20 rep squats for someone complaining of soreness, but part of the thread was hijacked.

Increasing frequency in which the legs are trained throughout the week should solve teh soreness problem. I know hitting legs 3x a week when I was doing full bodies, left me with only tight legs, but not sore through the week.

LEGS, WHO NEEDS EM?.. i mean you only use them everyday in your life

[Colossal Spoons]

i did 20 rep squats one time and i think i saw jesus

Haha. amen

lol!!

My legs always get crazy sore too... but I dont think they get any more sore that any other muscle I work, I just feel it more since its in my legs. I think if I walked around on my hands, that my arms and chest would hurt just as bad.

Yeah, they are brutal. My latest masochistic invention was 20x225 lb + 45 lb db lunges - no rest between. The first & last set of that I'll ever do!

Next you'll be saying youre going to drop squats. Just think of the bb.com servers before you do.

holy ****... and you know what sucks the most about single leg exercises? after you're done with one leg you just feel like falling on the floor, but then you have to do the other leg
