Unless you're a beginner with completely DYEL legs or a roider trying to turn IFBB pro leg day is a meme

squats make you strong

Except squats signal full body muscle growth to your muscle that are currently sore, I.E unreplaceable for mass building in your routine.

You're a dyel faggot nigger though..so wouldn't expect your ilk to understand.

semi-agree with your shit-bait thread. A complete leg day with quad, glute and hamstring isolation is completely unnecessary, Squats and deadlifts are enough, with 3x/week calves and pitalis anterior work while you're sitting down

It depends. If your arms aren’t even 17 inches you will look crazy if you’re squatting 225 for 10 reps. But if you have big arms and shoulders, bench 225 for reps, then it makes sense to be able to squat a full set of 165.

I don't necessarily disagree. Legs should be worked just enough to not look like chicken legs in proportion to your upper body. But trying to infinitely grow them (especially as a natty) is extremely short sighted since your body can only put on so much total muscle, and you'll never have a good physique if you invest too much in legs.

IDK about that but what I do know is that caring about my joints prevents me from getting my squat up real heavy. When I try to progress beyond about 3 pl8s, my knees say "nope" and tweak on me and make me prehab/rehab them for 2 months.

OP has tiny weak baby chicken legs and makes daily cope threads to deal with his faggotry.

I squat 5 plates

Probably lacking in one of the muscles required for better knee stability at higher weights. Try opening with hamstring curls before squatting and if that doesn't work try more adductor/abductor work.

Bump to save intermediate and advanced lifters from a lifetime of overdeveloped legs

Work legs with squats. Don't have a whole leg day. Squats will make your lower body functionally strong and won't develop cartoonish legs unless you overdo it. I squat 5 plates but my legs don't look that crazy.

Your ideal legs should never be bigger than the ideal shoulder circumference you calculate from your height using the golden ratio principle.

5'10=178cm=132cm shoulder circumference=66cm per leg=26 inches per leg

Having this size with a teardrop and hamstring shape, while being at 12-15% bodyfat and your legs will never need more in terms of aesthetics. The next step could only be to maintain the size and develop explosivity with dynamic exercises.

This is a good rule
