Absolutely hate it.


But by sticking to it and not skipping, I pack on extra sought after LB's and my upper body gets noticeably bigger and stronger.  It's what allows me to put on enough muscle to shift my BMI score (which means dildo's to me in reality, but makes me feel better when it goes...) to the overweight tier.

Thanks. I hadn't done legs since the 12th. My left leg was hurting so I gave it a break.  It feels ok now so I'll try and stay on it.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! !




I had acl surgery 14 weeks ago.  I fucking love leg day.  Currently doing Wendler 531 but thinking about switching to SL 5x5 because everyday is leg day and I really want to no longer have one leg 40% smaller then the other.

Bar is usually 45#.  so 195.  Just practice on form and going down all the way....or as far as you can comfortably.

Can't wait to get back to leg days.  Strained a calve 10 weeks ago.  Couldn't do anything for 4 weeks.  Just this week I was able to do squats without any weight.  Still can't deadlift or use squat rack.  Fucking sucks.

Wow, his legs are tiny. What's that he's deadlifting, 300 lbs?

Also to OP, try some front squats if you want to go lower. You can activate your gluts more with less weight and really go "ass to grass". Best part is if the weight is too much you can just fall forward into the rack... embarrassing true, but sure helps me mentally knowing its an option.

I've been doing SL for a few weeks now and I gotta say, I'm really liking it.  The app is also incredibly convenient, really makes it (mentally) easy.

No more leg days for me.

Doing my retirement physical stuff.

Degenerative arthritis in my hips and knees and bad disc in my back.

no squats
no extentions.
no deadlifts
of course no running.

I can do eliptical.

very depressing.

Well, even if he has no plan but sticks with it and tries really really hard, this time next year he will still look like a fat dump and will still be posting stupid shit on FB... So there is that... I judge you for not un friending him when he started this type of behavior.

Typical Olympic bar is 45#...so you're doing 195.  Just stick with it.  I do about the same for the moment but i just added "real" squats into my routine...i was doing them on the smith machine but decided i needed to do it the right way.   You just need an attitude adjustment towards them...squats are one of the best compound lifts you can do, love them for what they do to you, not how much they make you hurt.

Squats are my strongest exercise now that I play competitive sports more than I am in the gym. I did 3 to 4 days a week every week for the better part of 4 years with no breaks longer than a week in the holidays or a vacation. The last 2 years I've gotten back into soccer year round so I've dialed back strength training as a result. I'm mostly in the gym twice a week now, three days on a good week. I haven't lost as much strength as I thought I would but I have certainly lost some.
