The Dangers of....

[Hank Moody]

The dangers of skipping leg day are real, gentlemen. Don't do it. I could've put this in Health and Fitness, but this has to be seen by as many of you as possible.

I see dudes like this ALL the time walking around. I swear, guys go to the gym and just work out the upper half of their bodies.

There's a reason certain dudes always wear wifebeaters and jogging pants.

I don't understand why any man would skip leg day, doing legs increases testorone

They are not.

Most dudes only focus on their upper body. Hard to believe.

oof that's brutal. Can't imagine many women find that attractive.

I dont train legs conventionally, for some reason they grow more in size and hardness running on the stairs or pushing cars rather than squatting or leg pressing.

Steroids have a disproportionate affect on muscles of the upper body due to greater proportion of androgen receptors. Most juiceheads actually do train legs. The problem is the drugs.

Barbell squats make your legs huge. Squat 400 lbs a fat ass and tree trunk thighs are guaranteed.

+1. It's amazing how bad one ends up looking when they ignore their lower body.
Also, what type of man are you supposed to be if you can't do some heavy sets of squats and deadlifts?

 

[DonJuanjr]

Up to 285 on my 1rm for squats. After months of being stalled at 232 due to no safe setup and lack of weight.

I like that you made this thread.. The gyms will be reopening again in the UK from Monday.

I am planning on hitting the legs twice a week hard.. They got neglected a little over lockdown

Can't stress enough on compound lifts. Bench, Barbell Back Squats, Deadlifts. Those 3 alone will change your life. Your goal for each should be the following, in relation to your body weight: 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x. Those are medium-advanced numbers, but are good goals to shoot for.

I like that.

I mainly do Deadlifts, Dips, and Leg Press. And a lot of swimming.

Keep the Leg Presses and Dips, but those should be auxiliary exercises to the main 3 compound lifts I listed above. Here's a sample routine: Bench day - chest and arms as auxiliary (dips, flys, curls, etc); Squat day - legs as auxiliary (leg press, calf raises, lunges, hamstring curls, etc); Deadlift - back & shoulders auxiliary (pull-ups, shoulder flies, etc). Swimming, bike, running are good cardio; those can be your off days. "Starting Strength" or "5-3-1" are great intro programs to powerlifting if strength training is your main goal, as it should be. I'm turning 40, 5'8, 185lbs, B: 315, S: 425, D: 475. Not a lifter by any means...but those programs have gotten me to where I'm at now over a short period of time.

I saw a buff Chad the other day that honestly had legs like a flamingo. He had a million dollar upper body and .10 legs.

Very nice!

I sometimes wonder how any 3 random SoSuave guys would do if they went out - to use an old PUA term - 'sarging' together one night.

I blame low T.

Women like men with nice, solid arses too. Plus probably helps with thrusting and signaling you'll be able to pound them hard in bed.
