Why do so many people refuse to do legs???

Why do so many people refuse to do them are they just afraid or lazy??????

one thing comes to mind, plain ol' stupidity. They are either too dumb and think their legs are the shit and just care about their upper body and think they don't need to work them... and they don't realize how unpropotional their body will look after years of training nothing but arms.

I know what you mean. I really don't understand it, never will. I see some leg press warriors out there, and thats about all they do for legs if they even do that much. Hardly anyone squats. Oh well, let them stay small!

I, for one, don't squat because I don't want to expand my ribcage. I'm already quite thick standing sideways, which looks odd enough. And I will never put up with having to buy bigger pants because my legs don't fit. That sucks. I like my sticks, they look good running and mountain biking. Though, as I wrote in my post above, they had a hard time supporting my lame deadlift.

I think these are the reason:
1# "chicks only dig abs and biceps"
2# "i dont want to break my spine.....i heard a gym at the gym broke his spine last week(or some other made up story/excuse)"
3# "im 15.....i have read that you will stunt your growth"
4# "i walk/ride everywhere i go.....thats enough isnt it?"
5# "its too hard"

Thats what i hear all the time.

because they are pretty boys who think that doing 9000 bicep curls will give them that ripped model fitness look that chics dig...hmmm

i did legs yesterday and I caned it big time, when I got home I sat down to eat and then tried to get up as normal, buit nothing happaned, hahaha, dont you just love that? When you EXPECT to be able to get up and you cant and you have to put in twice more effort as normal and actually think about it. i also overslept and was late for work.

Being that you don't do squats, I'm sure we'd all crap our pants if we saw how thick you are.

The expanding the ribcage theory is really just more new size dimensions of the pecs and lats caused by overall whole body muscle growth. And this is also mostly only purposefully done when you undertake a 20 rep breathing squats program. So you could do squats but with less reps, like a 5x5 program. That way your legs will grow. You don't have to do a leg specialization program or anything, just throw in one day a week for squats.

And I will never put up with having to buy bigger pants because my legs don't fit. That sucks.

But I'm sure you'd be thrilled if you had to but new shirts because they didn't fit.

I like my sticks, they look good running and mountain biking.

The only good thing about "your sticks" might be that they make your extremely small penis look bigger.


Now, I'm razzing you, but only because I now how much of a difference squats will make for you when you start doing them (and you will once you realize you look like a lawndart). And when you do start doing them, we will embrace you into the fraternity of iron, until then, enjoy Bally's.

Listen, I'm not big, I'm strangely shaped structurally. My ribcage/torso is wide if viewing me from the side. Bones are big, not the muscle. I mean, I'm 159 lbs and I bench about 165 max.

But I'm sure you'd be thrilled if you had to but new shirts because they didn't fit.

You're right, I guess. But I don't want to grow out of my small and medium sized clothing. I wouldn't look right as a size large with huge pecs and protruding back muscles. I like a smaller, tight package. That's why I'm trying to make small gains while keeping slim. I want the abercrombie model look vs. the meat-neck, can't lay my arms flat look. You can't hold that against me, it's just how I'd like to be.

I just don't want big legs. My thighs are kinda big already, bum genetics. And my calves have decent diamonds from running and cycling. IMO, huge legs do not look normal, they look stupid, and right now, my upper body isn't too big for my legs, i.e. I don't look like a lawndart.

If you want to flame me, that's your perogative, but at least take a look at my thread on my workout, and maybe give me some advice. Back to the boards I go, looking for signs of intelligent life.
