Stop f**king around and lift like you mean it.

squats are damn fun infact all of leg day is, leg day is like christmas once a week or another Steelers Victory in the SuperBowl or a WVU over Georgia WIN!!!!!

GET ON THE G**DAMN LEG AND BACK BUS!!!

Or, like the powerlifting experts would say, STFU AND SQUAT!!!

And moralski, no you're not.

Be full of fire. Make the world burn.

ever since ive added a leg workout to my rotation, my lifts for everything else have gone up from 5-40 lbs!!!! guess when i added that leg workout?  ONLY TWO WEEKS AGO!  in that time ive gained 1/2" of muscle on my arms and got leaner, i have to say that that's amazing.

IM BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!!!!!

really silly question can anyone post pics of how a squad is correctly done and dead lifts i only started a week ago and noticed some guys doing various different workouts on the free weights thanks

Look under the exercise section of the forum, top post.  Also, try exrx.net and bodybuilding.com!

Age: 33
Height: 5'7"
Starting weight/body fat- 202lbs/30+%???

Current weight/body fat- 175lbs/24%

Take this simple test- Ride your bike for thirteen miles. See how you feel. In a few days, do a full leg routine- squats, stiff leg deadlifts, calf raises- Now see how you feel. Big difference? You bet.

 
This is DB.coms quote of the year, so true, i used to bike loads, and walk a lot, and my legs are still minced meat since my wednesday leg workout, but im gonna be a absolute monster and add 20lbs to my squat next week regardless of pain, i love squats, they do show strength better than bench, easily.

I got to say Squats are GREAT, but Deadlifts are the real KILLERS!!!  Aspecially if you do them on the same day with some front and back lunges!!!

I love doing this!

You think girls look at what you lift...or what you lift it with?

Age: 17
Height: 5'9''

I dunno squats i find a lot more difficult than deadlifts, but i guess its different for everyone

Is it me or does anyone else feel giddy when they start to tear apart their boxerbriefs, beucase their quads are huge?

Eat...Lift....Sleep......Repeat

Enjoy the process.. but crave the goal.

Havent got there yet im afraid lol, but il let you know in around 6-8 months time when il hopefully be that big lol

The only reason people hate doing legs (imo) is because the have never done them!!
 
If/when you finally start doing squats and deads, the difference in size and strength in all of your other upper body exercises is huge. Just try it for 8 weeks and you'll be a believer.
Unfortunately I feel that I somewhat "wasted" my 1st year as far as gaining lots of muscle. I was doing almost all isolation movements, and using the machines at the gym.
 
The proof will be in the puddin when I reveal my new physique sometime in November....

Oh, and great post CPL!!!
When someone asks, just post a link to this thread

Thank you very much- I link to this quite often when someone comes looking for info and they're only working certain muscle groups. That's exactly why I wrote it.

I am really glad that this was stickied at the top of the beginner forum as when I first started several months ago this was the first thread I read, so it kept me engaged, but most of all really helped me make the most of what I am doing.

how can you not love squats? i must b the biggest cardio freak ever, im barely ever sitting down appart from rite now  footy, running, sprinting, boxing, my BIKE!, i gete everywhere on my bike, the gym, to my friends, home bla bla bla. Yet my legs (yep even today ) are killing me after a good leg work out (courtacy of black)
 
I find squats harder but more fuffiling deadlifting i find easy, my bench sucks so much i can squat and dead lift way over my body weight like 5-10 times i aint even boverd trying 1 rep max  im only young you see...my bench? well im 10.5 stone and i can only comfortably lift like 30-45kg 10 times and i dont mean 45kgx3 i mean atleast working up to it  but....love squats
 
I thnk squats are harder any way...i think its because the weight is on top of you it really puts preasure on ur back i mean i know you can drop it but deadlifting its just so easier and safer to drop, and easier to lift ot be honest. I just get one problem the only reason my deadlift is where it is is because my grip sucks, i eventually got to a really good weight and instead of 10x1 had to do 5x2 to finish off with because my grip was so worn out it appeared.

oh....great post CPL
