@aaron_larson94, no matter what you learn about #LegDay in this thread, i think the most important takeaway is that when you still have much to learn (which is pretty much all of us, really), maybe don't be running around shouting about what you think everyone should do. #New2Site and #Newish2Lifting means it's time to be gathering information, not spreading poor information. you're getting called to task here for your presentation as much as your information. prolly more so.
but hey, #BTDT0 -
Thanks dav! I'mma try to do what you just said this tues. For everyone that said I should get rid of the smith machine. I'll do that too. Also if you know your limits on squats then do it the best way that works for you. Going low for me works best since I have flexible hips from kickboxing. Also since I'm working out 4 days a week would a day of full body exercises help or should I just use the days I have off to rest?0

i mean....those are good....for lots of things.....but do they have to be the answer for everything on this site?
Actually no, and I agree with what you are saying. Those get thrown around a lot on here. However, with him looking to gain, and weighing in at 122 pounds, he could eat and actually grow with a program of this sort a lot better than most people here that it has been suggested to.

he's going for mass. nothing wrong with those. he's just doing too much of EVERYTHING. it's like he's hoping to make a really good chili, but figured the best way was to use everything in his fridge, cabinets, countertops, and even a few remnants from the garbage disposal to make it better. but most of the time, more is just more.
crap, I just realized I am making my chill wrong…
so you don't use cabinets when you make yours???0 -
OP if you are a beginner I would go with something like strong lifts 5x5 …
and for the love of everything holly don't listen to your friend just because he is "big" …

Well I mean that's the case for a lot of people who use to compete without taking roids. Also not everyone is gifted with Arnolds genes.0

^Good point! Also, Greg Plitt was a famous fitness model who said a lot of really dumb things about training and nutrition that weren't even close to backed by science. Having a good body doesn't mean you know what you are doing. (says a bodybuilder who doesn't have a career in bodybuilding
haha) 0 -

fair enough ..
I am just saying that some of the worst advice I hear comes from the bros in the gym….just because they compete does not make them PHD's in nutrition and science…
and based on the fact that he gave a beginner an insanely high volume leg workout I would say that he is not off to the best start….0 -

Ahah everyone knew he was on roids. So was everyone that was competing against him. He still had great genetics or he wouldn't have won 7 times0
