who hates leg day as much as I do??? I procrastinate until the last minute to do it...although I feel great afterwards it takes me much longer to do it... and I only do leg day once a week!! UGH.....but on the bright side it is helping with my C25K.....!!!

    well I train legs 3 times a week because you can produce more testosterone that way. Yes ladies need some of that male hormone too. Just a significant amount less.

    Until I dialed in some of my nutrition issues, I found it so hard to recover from a hard leg day workout (sometimes taking a full week to recover). Now, I can recover in less than 72 hours, but it is still a very intense session.

    Every session is legs. Don't be a curl bro.

    I love my leg days! Currently on three a week and recovery is a breeze - yes my legs are tired but that's it.

    I do some form of leg exercise everyday. It may just be kicking drills on the heavy bag or it could be heavy squats and deadlifts. You can't perform well in any sport without strong, well conditioned legs.

    I like leg day. I hate the day after leg day.

    It's a love hate relationship. I like how it makes me look and more importantly it's solved a lot of injury type problems for me, but I can't walk right for days! Worth it tho. Always

    I squat 3x a week (I only lift 3x a week). Leg day (days when I do dead lifts) is once or twice a week, depending on how my program falls.

    I can't say I hate leg day because I love having quads and a booty.

    I hate front squats. I do plan to keep trying for the wrist flexibility.

    I do, so i usually do a full body workout 3 times a week with just 3-4 sets of legs each workout (compound exercises, no isolation). Less soreness after, compared with split workouts.

    You could always do them with your arms crossed (with your hands on your delts), as opposed to holding the bar "clean" style.

    Yeah but then it gets hard to do full cleans then.

    Or you could wear lifting straps and wrap them around the bar so you can hold onto them

    What's this leg day? It sounds an awful lot like arm day? LOL, I kid... I personally love to be challenged and the Squat is the perfect challenge, so I go after it and hit PR's. The Squat is both my friend and enemy.

    Today was quad and hams day. I do hate that day. Bulls day isn't as bad.

    Try using your middle 3 fingers an only brace the bar... don't actually grip/hold it. Made all the difference in the world for me.
