I just kinda... stopped doing legs. After a decade of being gaslit into doing squats and deadlifts, dreading it every time, all the stretching and mobility required, all the injuries I just... stopped. I know I know. ughhhhhhhh. I'm sorry. But I'm just not gonna do leg work anymore.
I only do legs via machines. Squatting is gay
>>76616544Doesnt lifting heavy especially cause hormone upregulation? And having more mass is just a boost to testosterone?
Same here, stopped all leg work and now I'm regretting it. My legs are looking more and more like sticks while my upper body is almost looking like a semi-muscular male human. Might have concentrate on legs for couple of months soon.
>>76616553sure but actually looking forward to every single workout, not having to hassle with mobility work for half an hour before training because you sit on your ass all day in an office jobgoing to snap city and being competely unable to train for a week or two
>>76616573Alright what lifts do you want form tips on. Squat? Dl/ clean? You can work on intraspinal muscles/tendons and shit but you gotta go insanely light to do say deficit dls or sprinter stance fromt squats or whatever youre working on. And its easy for foot alignment and overpowered hams/lower back/calves to cause imbalances in hips/knees then you out a ton of load on it and youre way more fucked than shoulders since shoulders youll tear less but if you snap tendons on like biceps/triceps also(2d) it usually causes way worse injuries. Also most people dont practice jumping and have the powerlifter ass.
>>76616590>just frontsquat brogreat now i have to work on my fucking wrist and elbow mobility
>>76616553People still believe this shit
>>76616544Me too anon. I just do just calves now and no one can tell the difference because if you have muscular calves people don't notice anything else. I do incline walking for cardio and that keeps the upper legs toned and shaped enough that women still like to grab my butt.
Why wouldn't you want an extra 5 - 10 pounds of muscle? Makes cutting so much easier.
>>76616544im just doing them once per week, so they don't look horrible. they're still half of my body, so there is no avoiding that, but calisthenics, weightlifting and gymnastics are just way more fun than squats
>>76616544I just so legs once a week. It's simply not fun, and I go to the gym for fun. It's a miracle I do it at all.
>>76616547>fpbp
>>76616544> I fagged outk?
>>76616647Took you this long to show up Mark?
>>76616544so what are your PBs after a decade?
yea they kind of suck and I have more difficulty with squat than most lifts. the feeling of strength and muscle growth all down my posterior chain, from my shoulders to my ankles, that I get the following day makes it worth it though. love me lower body DOMS
>>76616547
I just wanna see where i can go with legs. My squat is very bad which is weird because i have huge, and i mean fucking huge hamstrings, from before i even lifted.
umm yes i am a straight femboy and yes i will do squats and all the leg machines :3
>>76616573If you need to spend half an hour doing mobility work before legs then you should probably do it regardless of if you're going to hit legs. You clearly need it and you will pay long term for not getting blood into and loosening up these areas.
>>76616544I'll let you in on a secret bro. I've never done legs. I lift upper body 4 days a week, and do cardio 2, those 2 days are all I need to give my calves the yoked look. I also am 31 been working out since I was 13, and ive never had a back problem or pain and likely won't. Nobody cant tell I don't do legs and ive never been to snap city win win.
>>76616606What? If you have stick thighs people are absolutely still going to notice. Who told you this
>>76616929No one told me, just how it is. Still get compliments on legs
>>76616902We can tell, ranjesh
>>76616544me too lol its a meme
>>76617204It ain't a meme
>>76617213idc i aint doin it
im scared of leg day and it sucks and i hate it. but i like the way my legs be lookin
>>76617217
>>76616595Feomt squats are alright for core, just angle your elbows way out. You should be able to balance it without hands. Or just cross your hands or zercher. You want it to be super difficult on core, back squat you basically wanna do high bar for the core gains too, as legs typically need less work especially training vertical ime. If you want bigger legs you can just squat/dl wide stance or narrower and leaned forward for hams/back vs quads/glutes. Im just trying to find some lunge variant hand braced on the wall for quads and vertical, cleans, and the strict squat variants/dls here and there. And ofc atg will help put weight on. I also like jump squats but idk if thats better or just pushing through like a leaned forward leg press or whatever.
>>76616604I mean philosophically i have to be doing something way wrong if upper body doesnt grow as fast this is some bullshit. I think ignoring delts/arms is honestly why, they in fact do not fucking grow proportionally with bench.
>>76616553literally just add more reps to whatever lift and it's the same test boost
>>76616573this all sounds like major skill issue to me bub, my stretches take a few minutes (including the ones that are just for arms) and I've never injured myself doing leg exercises. Meanwhile I've hurt my shoulder on bench once and my elbows doing curls twicee.
>>76617375no it's not lolthe test boost is proportional to the size of the muscleyour arms will NEVER be as big as your legs and your back, and you'd look like a fucking freak if they were
>>76617416I was responding more to the lifting heavy part
>>76616544"Doing legs" is stupid. Just squat and deadlift. Your legs are only made up of a couple big muscles for the most part, and it doesn't really matter what they look like just make them big and tree trunk looking. Save your neurotic effort for the upper body. That is the happy middle ground between 'doing legs' and not hitting them at all.
>>76616544Hey
>>76616553Your body doesn't make a distinction between pushing a bar on your back or the pad of the leg press.
>>76617523im not picking up
>>76616852> squat> hamstringsimagine being this dumb
>>76616553>Doesnt lifting heavy especially cause hormone upregulation?Short answer: No.Long answer: Technically, but only by a little bit and for a short time (few hours), which autists blew out of proportion to have a reason for squatting.
>>76616929>If you have stick thighs people are absolutely still going to noticeOnly weird homos with a leg fetish aka SS victims.Normal people won't notice shit.
Let's be honest... we lift for women. And big legs only attract gays. You just need to do some pull ups, bench press and lateral raises. When you have a girl and you take your shirt off you are already there more muscles are not needed anymore at that point.
>>76618751>Normal people won't notice shit.Ehh, even before I started to lift I noticed when people skipped leg day. You don't need to do that much with legs but if you do nothing its very obvious imo. And it looks like shit.
