is there a point to training legs? serious

when someone calls a guy jacked they are taking about their upper body; not the hips, glutes, and thighs. serious.


used to squat 3x a week when I first started lifting then gradually dwindled down to 1x per week squat and deadlift. I haven’t squatted or deadlifted since March due to the quarantine; gaining more upper body size recently. already squat more than 99% of my gym

is it even worth it


pic for reference:

I’m eating close to 1000 calories less and maintaining muscle ever since.


always see powerlifting twinks in my gym doing 1rm squat dead every day, but can’t even touch my bench press and other upper body lifts.

Women love legs. Get comments on my butt and calves all the time.

Women are brutal and if you have chicken legs, they'll notice.

At least keep them somewhat close to your upper body

There's a approx 6'4 Lebo brah probably mid 30's who lifts at the gym I go to. On OJ, jacked to the tits. Benches 3 plates as his norm.

He wears long pants year round and never trains legs.

Seen him one time on the leg extension (he only went on it to try talk to a sloot) and he was struggling with 2 plates (20kg). After he got off the machine he was limping lmao

Depends a bit on how your base level body looks if you never lifted. For example, some people naturally have decent sized legs, while a true ectomorph type wouldn't.
So if you are naturally skinny I don't think you can get away with skipping legs. Unless you do something else that targets them, biking/skating w/e..

Yes.

The think about having weak legs, let alone having 60% of your bodies' muscle not able to burn fat to it's peak potential.

That's aside from legmogging Timmys.

Exercising stuff that other guys don't is what will make you stand out from other guys.

Exercise everything.

If you're not going to squat, at least do some leg presses, lunges, and calf raises. Not training legs at all would be ridiculous.

Imo conventional squatting is pointless. For me anyways, i gain tons of strength but almost zero size to the legs. Ass is another story tho, that mrfr is thick, lmao.

Just got a super squat machine at work and its fn awesome. Full rom squats, no back pain. Legs are starting to grow again.

But yeah. I asked the wifey and consensus is chicks dont dig the Jonnie Bravo look. She actually lifts tho so basic sloots may think otherwise.

I get the best pump in my legs from pushing and pulling a sled.

I still squat though it's a great movement abs down to knees, calves get a little work in there too.
