Legs....

[callthedoctor]

There are quite a few dudes at my club that have VERY good upper bodys...but have toothpicks for legs...

This just cracks me up...they look ridiculous.

I want to go up them and ask what's up....but instead I just kinda give them that 'snide' look.....Probably just my ego. (Bothers me as much as the J.Lo and Pink videos that constantly play on the monitors in the weight room - - gotta get my home gym going...)

Any advice on how to be more accepting or supportive of these guys...they obviously know the upper body lifts...but I never see them do lower body. I don't want to be dick, but it kinda erks me...know what I mean?

this is something you'll find in most gyms. a lot of guys workout just to get chicks, and most chicks look at your upper body out at clubs or bars when those guys put on tight shirts. the pants cover up any muscle they could have built there so they just say screw who cares about legs.
if they are happy you should let them be

on another note though, I think they look ridiculous LOL

someday maybe they will wake up
probably not though

ask them if they are going to grow wings cause they already have the legs of a chicken

It all depends on goals, really. They're just doing it for vanity, most of the time. I got over that and enjoy training the entire body now. Legs are one of my favorite muscle groups to train. I love my squats.

personally i think its great no one ever really goes in the power rack..so its all mine to squat and squat some more lol..and my other fav the hack machine...once in awhile a chick will put a 45 plate or 2 on and do 1 set but then its all mine..

i believe you haven't hit your full potential till you have killed both your upper and lower body...don't worry about those guys that are all top heavy, just know that they could be a lot bigger, overall, if they started lifting legs too

Yeah, bless your lucky stars they not trying to compete for the use of the one shitty-ass power rack the gym purchased (probably second-hand) to service 200-300 gym patrons during dinnertime. Yep, if those dolts actually trained legs I don't know what I'd do.

I dunno, give the chicks some credit. Look at the guys who girls in general think are good-looking. celebrities, musicians, athletes... not too many of them are 'top-heavy.' having muscle on less than half your body might work on dumb chicks but there are plenty of girls who either don't care that much about a guy's muscles, or prefer a balanced looking physique, or only like little ripped dudes, or whatever. I mean the girls I've talked to about this at college either a)don't really like the way the bodybuilder types at our gym look in general, but didn't notice specifically that they had stick legs, or b) think 'chicken legs' look stupid.
I mean, what are the odds of finding a girl who appreciates muscular physiques but can't tell the difference between 30" thighs and 18" thighs through a pair of jeans? it doesn't take much of an eye to notice that someone's arms are literally thicked than their legs.

I think it'd be more accurate to say most GUYS only look at your upper body - just the way girls tend to dress and wear makeup according to rules made up by other girls, rather than dressing the way guys would want them to


the stick leg dudes kind of tick me off, but I like the surprised looks I get when I pull or squat more than them. They don't understand how i can be strong at any lift without having giant arms and pecs
