The funniest thing ever is when you see this massive upper body guy, who has chicken legs and has never heard of calf raises or squats.
Anyways, I know one of these guys who acts like he is so strong, but he is unproportionaly strong. He has a great bench (we were doing 5 sets of 10 reps, he was doing 150-155 on his last set or so), I was doing 95 5×10 because my upper body is tired and I was not feeling it today (monday). A guy asked him for workout advice for core and he says he doesn't even work his core, like wth. He has a big chest and arms, everything else is not impressive.
When we were doing squats, he was looking over at me and my friends acting like we were freaks because we could squat over 100 pounds more than 10 times, lol. He was doing 95 pounds 5 X 10 just like us but he was stuggling. He wasn't doing ATG squats and his form was not the best. Then, I do 5 ×10 130 and my friends do 165 5 ×10 (we could do a lot more weight if jt were 3 or 5 reps, need light weight for high sets and reps).
BTW why do so many people love working their upper bodies out only and love benching so much? I hate benching and think it is an overrated workout, someone who can squat or deadlift a lot is more impressive to me. I love squatting and deadlifting, but hate benching so much.
>>36821689
girls don't care about legs m8 stay mad virgin
xxoo
>>36821689
dont even fucking talk about working out when you bench 95 5x10 you fucking dyel
>>36821698
>caring what girls want
holy fucking shit, what a retard.
>>36821698
what if you're a homo? Other homos care about legs, a lot ;)
>>36821712
OK M8 keep telling yourself that while you squat lmao 2 plate for reps while I pork your bitch
They like pants that fit.
I just find squatting boring. It's not like a pull up where you throw yourself around or like a bench where you have this heavy ass weight hovering above you.
You just put it on your back and fall asleep while you go up and down.
>>36821708
>I was doing 95 5×10 because my upper body is tired and I was not feeling it today (monday).
read again, you fucking cuck retard
I wish more people didn't train legs just so I can find a squat rack easier
>muh leg day
>>36821746
>I'm a huge pussy with chicken legs please fuck my face
Yeah ok pal whatever you say
I don't ignore legs, but fucking hate working them out. I always get dizzy and feel like I'm going to puke on leg day.
I have a hip flexor injury that won't heal.
>>36821749
>still no info about max bench
DYEL
Lol all these virgins posting about actually working legs, you know its just all genetics right? If you have a good face literally all you have to do is curls and sit ups and you get mad pussy
>>36821749
UPPER BODY IS TIRED SO HE THINKS HE CAN BENCH LESS THAN A PLATE
YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP
>>36821778
Nah mayne. You're just a faggot.
>>36821808
sounds like you're just a pussy
>>36821815
>>36821843
shut up. you don't even train legs. you look fucking stupid
>>36821854
It started to heal with acupunture, but it got worse than ever because I squatted every day.
>>36821689
adults rarely wear shorts
unless you go to the beach no one can tell you got small legs
Legs any bigger than this look retarded.
>>36821867
I train legs. I'm dyel too but 95 lbs dude? Are you 80?
>>36821869
>I squatted every day.
you're only supposed to squat once a week
>>36821876
you don't even look like you lift with shorts on
>>36821698
that's just fuckin wrong
whenever i'm round my gf's she asks whether i have trained legs cause she always wants to massage them.
>>36821867
>>36821867
KEEP TRAINING YOUR LEGS LMAO
KEEP BENCHING LESS THAN A GIRL TOO

>you
Youre telling me THIS (the guy in that photo) doesnt look like he lifts...
HahHahaahahahahahHHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhahaahhahahahahaahahha
Go back to /pol/ faggot,
>>36821908
yeah, and that's why you got injured
ever heard of a brosplitter that's gotten injured from lifting?
>>36821906
Pretty sure I fucked a girl with legs shaped like, you estrogen riddled cuck.
>>36821922
doesn't look like he trains legs no
most amateur cyclist who doesn't lift has twice as big legs
>>36821929
That's a different guy. I got injured last summer when I started lifting. Not from squatting. Just by walking with 135lbs at my waist.
>>36821929
Every bber ever?
>>36821689
Because pussy faggots can't handle pain in muscles that are in constant use like the core and leg muscles.
>>36821943
Big legs ruin aesthetics. It's about the V frame, not the X frame.
Legs are what autists fixate on when their upper bodies look like shit
>L-Looks like you skipped leg day Ch-Chad
>Your girl is thinking of the rashes on my inner thighs w-when you pound her v-vagoo
>>36821906
THAT'S FUCKING IT!!!
I'm stopping all leg training. I do not want to look like that.
>>36821963

>>36821966
I once saw a meme type thing where it showed girls laughing in a high school hallway while another girl they were making fun of was hiding behind her locker starting to dry and the caption from the girls poking fun said "her boyfriend doesn't even train legs" then some other caption somewhere I've seen says real friends don't let friends skip legs.
>>36821929
i'm not injured, in fact i hurt myself quite often when i did a brosplit. been doing 5-10x1-2 for 3 and a half months now and have added 35kg to my squat, now doing 177.5kg for doubles.
>>36821712
>i lift for me!
>i just sculpt my body because i want to be the best i can be!
>it's my lifestyle!
le tip
You gotta be dumb to not work out your legs, they're literally your foundation. I can imagine somebody toppling over because their tiny legs can't support their disproportional top
Meh, IMO you can't call yourself a weightlifter if all you do is work your top half
the guys you probably see who don't look like they train legs are probably just tall as phuck with skinny calves with quads/hams that cannot be seen, i have never ever met a dude who doesn't train his legs, mainly because the internet is filled with posts ridiculing people who skip legs.
>>36822197
>i have never ever met a dude who doesn't train his legs
where do you train, gold's gym?
most people in the gym i see never do legs. then again, i live in a gym where doing endless sets of preacher curls is a common and welcomed sight whereas deadlifts are only ever done by me and one other dude.
>>36821847
Keep talking smack bitchboy its not gonna make your legs any stronger
>165lb squats
>>36821698
No one cares about legs, really? Last year, I heard these girls talking about this guys calves. Have got compliments on my legs before because I run and squat more than once a month unlike you, the stereotypical noob weightlifter. Ever thought why people don't complement your legs? Because they aren't muscular, unlike your unproportional upper body. BTW I don't just work out to look good, I do it for my health and mainly myself. BTW, have heard this hot chick say, "Ew look how small that guys legs are!" Just saying. You think women like skinny weak little legs? Or powerful, muscular legs? That's what I thought.
>>36821843
Thank you for saying it so I didnt have to
>>36821689
dude i was benching 295 before i fucked up my shoulder
honestly benching 295 i can still make myself tired with 165 maybe 185 tops its how you train
every rep you do hold it an inch above your chest for 5 seconds you wont need very much weight and your chest will be feeling it
>>36821689
>95 bench
please tell me kilos
>>36822456
also training like this really helps you increase your max do this for a bit and when you try going heavier again youll be a lot stronger on the negative.
lowering it it will feel a lot lighter so you can do more weight
>>36822460
lbs
it was for 5x10
>>36822460
ikr?
i have 315 bench 405 deadlift
never did squats and i started off doing 225 ass to grass
>>36821689
typical "but i train legs meme" shitposter that benches 95
How much do you think he squats if he's 5'10?
Goal legs 2bh
>>36822540
495 if he lifts for strength
225 if he lifts for aesthetics
>>36822553
lol you're so fucking stupid
>>36822540
225 for reps
>>36822259
devilish post
>>36822540
95lbsx3 maybe.
Those don't look like trained legs.
>>36821906
it looks cool
>>36822592
>225 for reps
you fucking retard
no way he lifts more than 185 x1

>>36822391
You can almost hear the tipping of the fedora
Wandered in from the front page, I'm a fat nerd, like 5'10/190 and I never exercise. I can leg press 450lbs but I can't lift 100lbs. How did this shit happen?
>>36822854
leg press is a meme lift
it doesn't even count
>>36821689
You best be talkin about kg faggot
>>36822170

>>36822874
Another question, then, Is chicken legs kinda genetic? I do nothing and have strong legs, then I look at my dad and brother who actually go to the gym and they've got chickenlegs. It seriously just looks like I missed some kind of chicken-leg gene.

You should probably start lifting before you bitch at other people

No shit

>95 5×10
>95 5x10
You're weak as fuck OP and you're just trying to make yourself feel better by putting down someone who's stronger and more aesthetic than you by insulting his legs. It's a cop out. Most people don't care about legs so autists on the internet focus all their effort on them because it's the easiest muscle to have "above average" size/strength for. You're still a weak pussy and being tired is never an excuse for repping less than 135 on BP.
>People like OP actively post on /fit/
>They honestly think that they are being mired
>They honestly think that they are strong
>They give other people advice
Jesus Christ I think I'm gonna have to take a break from this site.
>>36821689
If you only lift to impress random 4/10s in the club than by all means skip leg day forever but if you want to get strong and aesthetic you need legs, just don't overdo them, but juicy tighs and existant calves(I see guys who literally have zero muscle there) are a must for a manly aesthetic body

Get stronger fagot. It is not like your numbers are very impressive.
Guy I do mma with.
Then again he has a kid and a wife and I don't.
>>36822476
Oh such volume!
I love working my upper body precisely because it can sometimes have that tendency to lag behind. If I could build a proportional body just squatting that would be pretty awesome. Bench is one of the best bangs for the buck for an upper body compound exercise. There are other good options but that's down to preference. You've gotta address your weaknesses, not make excuses OP.
>>36821906
Ok im gonna stop squatting

You know, I thought of this and it's the closest thing to an explanation I can think of. Maybe hefting 190-220 pounds around is just that much work.

You can hate benching all you want, but at the end of the day, it is a test of strength in the same vein as squats and deadlifts...although it seems to get a lot more attention than the other two.
Bench is by far the hardest to progress on for me, but also offers the greatest feeling when I hit milestones.
To answer your question
People work on their upper bodies because that is what makes you look imposing, and look good when you are naked/ with your shirt off. And that is why most people exercise in the first place....and then there is /fit/

Yup, july 2011 I think. 220lbs. He was trying to get bigger in Thailand.
I don't ignore legs, but that doesn't change the fact that my calves are ridiculously small and refuse to grow. I'm 6'3" 195 lbs, squat 275x5 and deadlift 385x2, yet my calves are fucking stilts.

>>36831290
Squats and diddies dont hit calves enough silly. What you standing calf raise 3x8 max?

I'm 5'10, ~15% body fat, I can bang out 225 for reps (5x5 for example). Yesterday I did 235 3x5, and then 5 more reps stepping up by 10 each time (after doing 185 1x5 and 135 1x8). I look sort of like this guy. Plus regardless of myself, I know this asian dude that looks fucking small, but can deadlift 495 and squats 300 like a fucking joke.

this is a non-sequitor, as we are arguing motivation's relation to goals. basically lifting for the sake of numbers climbing is quite autistic, and self-improvement lifting for enjoyment suffers from a lack of goal-based reporting ( gym journal intervention-performance quantifications ) is probably also autistic ( non-meme definition ).
Arguing for the validity of your own desires above others is pretty much stupid; do what you want and why you want, society will react.
