Bad for not wanting to lift legs?

You my friend are a prime candidate for yoga as part of your training. You are not stretching enough. and yoga is much harder than it looks. Thanks!

stretching is absolutely crucial... i have poor movement in my left shoulder due to surgery and a recent injury.. ifi i dont stretch like a mother fucker before i workout, i wont be able to do shit with it.

Same problem here bros. Big ass, big quads, 32 inch waist but there isn't a pair of 32" waist pants I can fit into. The odd size 36, but mostly 38's for for this dude. I hate the when the waist of my pants gets all krinkled up when I tighten my belt. Just one of the sides of being a bodybuilder I guess.

my normal waist size is 32, but the pants my work supplied me with are built for skinny mofos, because they looked like spandex on me. I exchanged them for 34's, and they still look like spandex but they fit around the waist.. i bet at the end of this cycle i'm gonna be ripping through these where my quad is. I guess i'll get some like size 40 pants, tighten up the belt and have some cool lookin mc hammer wannabe pants to work in

Exactly my thoughts...hammer time...lol. It looks like shit if you ask me. I'm not here to become a pro body builder....looking sharp in clothes is still a high priority. I do need to stretch more...sometimes when I'm on my Chest days and I stretch after my first couple sets, I really feel like my armpit area is going to rip open. I have some pretty nasty stretch marks that fill up with blood in that area on Chest days.

Quadsweep,
That statement was beautiful man. Today is leg day, so that was just what I needed! Not that I needed the motivation, I love training legs(seperates the big arm and chest guys from the true bodybuilders) but the extra motivation doesn't hurt. Oh, and good luck with the rehab, you'll be back in the squat rack before you know it.

Well hell, I really don't have the right to be commenting too much on training since I'm just now getting ready to hit the gym again myself after a very long layoff. But I will anyway.

I had a similar problem even though the majority of my training was natural. Once I started squatting my thighs grew so fast I got stretch marks and I busted the legs out of every pair of boxer shorts I had. I still believe in the squat though.

But I do know that back in the dinosaur days Vince Gironda used to design a lot of routines around limiting ass size. Bob Ciccerhello?sp? uses a routine along the same lines which includes no squats. I'm sure you could do some searches on those guys and come up with a good routine.

To minimize glute development try squatting/leg pressing with your feet farther apart.
