sad but true ... and getting more this way every day!

[workinglegs]

I just saw this online the other day and I got a kick out of it. I see more and more women squatting and less and less men doing any serious leg training. Not surprisingly you see a lot more women with muscular legs and a lot more men with spindly legs. Makes you wonder where it all is going to end up.

I had a girl from our local college track team complement me on squatting the other day. She had some awesome muscular wheels ...

Although i appreciated the complement ... it's kind of pathetic that she noticed me squatting BECAUSE she sees so few guys doing it.

She said she rarely sees guys squatting and when they do they rarely go full extension ... nor use heavy weight.

Ironically ... guys should do more work on lower body ... since guys tend to have skinny lower bodies. Women the reverse ... generally.

Again ... I just wonder where this trend ends up ...

Haha! Yeah it is very true and very very sad.

Maybe it's partly because women feel like their lower half is generally their "problem" area . We wanna look good in skirts and shorts . Guys seem to focus on upper body . I train with a couple good friends who guys and they despise leg day ! Lol

I was thinking the same thing as you musclemama - that's exactly why I focus on my legs so much.

If I don't focus on them they WILL get out of shape very fast and my arms and stomach will stay toned longer even if I don't work on them all the time.

It seems that the long time 'measure of a man' was the broadness of his chest and shoulders inorder to bear the load of being a provider.

Unless you have tiny chicken legs!

I totally agree with all you , it's really sad as it makes more sense to squat DL etc as OT set own GF round our body by doing so. They are two of the best growing lifts.

Yep, I get more men asking me what they can do to get their upper body to grow, and more women asking how they can perfect their butt and thighs.
