I admit to skimping on leg days ... problem is I commute everyday up and down hills on bike to work + do a lot of cycling .... a leg day totally kills my rides, so I end up prioritising fast riding.
I really must get back in to them, but squats just make me feel crap and then kill my ride ... perhaps we need a motivational leg day group to hold me accountable2 -
I love leg day. I just hate the day after leg day when I have to run, and two days after leg day when the DOMS hits and it's leg day again. Especially Romanian deadlifts, my hamstrings get so sore. But being female I have much better lower body than upper body strength so it's fun to lift heavy and impress the guys.1

Everyday is leg day! I work them so often I don't mind it and don't really get DOMS (unless I do a new movement/exercise sometimes).1

It’s my favourite day..
I loathe when my programming has me go a day without squatting or has me do a light day. Heavy front and low bar squats are my favourite movements.2 -
Don't loathe it or love it. If I skipped leg day I would not have strong capable legs that allow me to do what I do every day. And if you add in aesthetic looks, I don't want to look unbalanced because I focused soley on upper body and skipped my leg days.2

I have my days where I don’t want to go at it with the same intensity...but I enjoy it mostly and definitely enjoy the results.2

Strong legs are good. How strong is mostly up to you. Same with how you choose to strengthen them.2

I hated leg day for so long. Now it is my favourite day. I absolutely torture them and I am seeing the benefits of it now. I hate the pain of it afterwards as do my colleagues!1

I don't hate it. My legs are strong so it makes me feel beastly. I have "lower body" days in addition to power lifting though so I'm not really spending like hours doing leg press and high rep squats and *kitten*. I get a lot of stimulus from my 3x per week squats, then add in two days lower hypertrophy. Love it.0

I don't have a dedicated leg day...my program is full body, see every workout is leg day.1
-
I love it and hate it sometimes cuz it just takes so much energy I try and make sure I eat enough so I don't feel too dead lol0
-
I do three "leg days" a week. Mondays is squats, Wednesdays is cleans, and Fridays is deadlifts. I don't understand why anyone would want to skip leg day.2
-
3 leg days/week...can't have good aesthetics without a good set of wheels "brah" (male or female for that matter)0
-
I train for powerlifting. In my split I squat twice a week so I guess those would be my leg day, but it’s also glute, back, biceps, and grip day. Anyway I live for intensity day and kind of hate volume day. 3x3 at 85% or higher...bring it! 5x5 or more at 80% or less...*kitten*.0

Leg day is only bad if you cram all your leg exercises into one day. I do two days as part of my powerlifting program and I don't find it too bad that way. I really couldn't do one leg day.1

It's foundational and the base for fitness and health with so many large muscles. Skip it at your own peril.
