I hate working legs.

[biteme]

I just can't get up the motivation to go to failure anymore on leg days. Failure on everything else is easy. Anyone else like this? Failure on legs is pure torture.

I don't go to failure too much anymore on legs (or most of the major muscle groups). I found out that I seem to make better strength gains if I don't annihilate them every time I go in. I still push myself, don't get me wrong. I used to go to failure all the time- for the first four or five years I was lifting- man did that suck.

We all respond differently. I can only work each bodypart once a week without overtraining and if I don't blast it into oblivion, I will lose strength and size. I don't do many sets but the few that I do are very intense. For years I worked out more like Arnold, doing the mulitiple sets long workouts each bodypart twice a week. When I switched to my current workout it worked better. I change it up every now and then with different exercises and such. I'm willing to try just about anything, nothing set in stone. Well, I take that back. High rep drop sets on legs, forget it. Can't take that pain anymore.

Does ephedrine help you? Just load up on that shit and a couple of Vivarin before you hit the gym. Ephedrine has the added bonus of making me feel extremely pissed off, unlike some other CNS stimulants, so it's perfect for the gym.

I wish that I could take that stuff. It makes my heart feel like it's beating out of my chest.

Yeah, that could suck, especially with a daughter to take care of.

I hate Biceps more than Legs, and unfortunately it shows.

 

[WarriorPL]

Failure on legs is complete ass. Hurts too much. I'm a bitch.

 

[Testosterone boy]

I do not look forward to squat day.

leg day is no doubt the hardest...

Leg day is my favorite, but as of January we split up legs into two days...one for upper and one for lower. It was such a trip to be sore in my calves and shoulders at the same time. If you hate doing legs, maybe you should try splitting them up into two different days...this way you have more time to do something you enjoy on leg day. I'll also alternate what I start out with...say it's calves then shoulders one one week, then the next week I'll start with shoulders first, then calves. I don't know why, but I usually get nausious on leg days...but I love those work outs because that's where most of my strength is and I can push the hardest and feel like I'm progressing well.
