Gotta love the legs

As some of you may know i havent' worked legs until this year. I actually enjoy working them. It takes nothing but raw power to squat the weight. I thought i'd see what i was up to today on the smith machine so as a final set i put 8 x 45lb plates on and did 7 reps. I'm gonna push myself harder next time and add more weight considering i did them fairly easy. On the machine (don't know the actual name) that you sit down in and lay back on and you push upwards on it..i put 12 x 45lbs plates on it and repped it also. But damn i worked them so hard i can't get up from a sitting position now without wanting to cry.

I actually get compliments for my calves. They say that their pretty big...i honestly don't think so but hey it's good to know their growing. Well that's my "i'm excited" moment for the day.

Im with you bro...legs are my favourite workout. Theres no place better than under a heavy ass barbell in a squat rack. Squats are KING.

Why bother with the cardio? Just shift to a higher rep workout.

I'm a habitual power type of guy....heavy weight...low reps. Kinda hard to mentally shift gears.

Same here, i can usually get away with it. I figure i get enough cardio at work laying 12" concrete block all day. I only switch to higher reps if i feel my joints acheing alot.

So your that guy in the gym making all that f'ing noise???!!! :D
Be careful on those lying down leg pess machines(If thats what you were talking about). They are hard on your lower back.

i don't think that's the one...i'm more at a incline pushing up at an angle. I really don't feel it much on my back. I use a weight belt so i don't know if that helps

Is it like the first one or the second one? The second pic is the shitty kind of leg press that will F your back up. The first one is fine.

I use the first one. I rep 12 x 45lbs plates for about 8 good reps. I'm bumping it up next week.

That's what everyone uses when they want to fool themselves into thinking they are doing a serious leg workout.

Do free standing squats (no smith machine) until you puke and then tell me how much you love to work legs.

Leg workouts suck!!!

I actually did those prior to doing them on the smith machine. Still enjoyed it.

That's what i do...i know i'm working the same part of my leg but i enjoy killing them with the leg press. The only thing i hate is taking off all the plates when i'm done
