Lame excuses NOT to do legs...!

[Riddick]

I'm sure we've all heard some flat-out lame ass excuses from gym members NOT to do legs.

It seems like at my gym, everyone does chest and arms everyday. So the leg equipment is ALWAYS open no matter what day it is. Occassionally, you see a dude that looks half-way decent throw in some delts and back. But very few.

These are some of the excuses I have heard over the years:

1 - I train them somewhere else

2 - I hit them enough when I do cardio

3 - I have a bad back, so my Chiro told me not do them

4 - I wear pants alot

5 - My quads grow too fast, so I only train them once a month

6 - There's never any equipment open when I want to train them, so I just do something else

7 - I only train them during the summer

8 - I'm trying to bring up my upper body

I feel the same way, I believe anybody who says they like doing heavy squats (ass to the grass) are fuckin' lying.

AHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!  Very few people actually squat and 1 in a million that do squat ever squat "ass to grass".

well I promise you I do... I don't go heavy, but than I have never lied about my weight and I'm not ashamed that I cannot lift as heavy as most guys here
In any case every time I tried to gain some mass by lifting heavier than I should I gained nothing... I need to keep it clean./

Honestly if a guy has a bad back why should he squat? If he isn't a pro BB and they don't want to do legs who cares, that is their choice. It just leaves equipment for the people who do train legs.

I overheard a guy tell his friend "A girl's already made up her mind about whether she's gonna fuck you before you take your pants off.  So why train legs?"  

[kcballer]

pain is the most common i've heard, i don't personally like doing legs although squats are hard the worst is straight leg deadlifts and leg curls, not when doing them but the after effects are brutal.

Also do you guys have idiots who use the squat rack from stupid sh*t like holding the bar in between rest periods for bicep curls? the guys at my gym do it ALL the time and the thing is they only curl 70-80lbs total and the gym has bars already pre loaded with those weights.  

[SWOLETRAIN]

They wont fit into my girl pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed.  If I stop at paralell, my knees scream for days.  Because I do go ass to ankles, I don't go as heavy as some might, but I know I'm stimulating growth.

Besides, I'd rather be the guy that squats 405 for a deep 6 or 8 than the guy that quarter squats5 or 6 plates!

I think goin that low creates a little rest pause and tension relief; although, I've watched some guys squat "ass to grass" and I literally hear their knee joints pop and click during the upwards portion of the movement.

I personally get the most brutal after affects from walking lunges.

[Bluto]

hunnies i deal with like me because i have big legs.

[Camel Jockey]

I don't squat due to lower back problems, but I still do legpresses every week and plenty of leg curls.

Legpresses will never be as good as squats, but if you go deep with them and are very intense, then you'll get decent enough results.

[Mars]

oh yes those too destory the glutes one of the best leg workouts i did was when i couldn't afford to go to the gym so i went to a park and did walking lunges slow for 100 yards, rested for a minute then did it back, the whole time concentrating on my glutes contracting throughout the movement i literally couldn't walk for days haha

this trainer names Ty "Ropeman" used to train my college football team in atlanta. This fool had us doing weightless lunges around the damn 400 meter track.
