There were like 50 or more people in the gym and there was only ONE guy, probably the BIGGEST guy in the place mind you, doing LEGS !!!

Yep, you guessed it, it was ME

So, I am sitting on the leg press with 20 plates on it and some older guy comes up to me with his son and Thanks me.....I think , what are you thanking me for???

He continues to tell me how he is working out with his son and trying to teach him the importance of working all his body and not just chest and arms
and him seeing me busting ass on legs helped him to see the importance of it, and how he looks around at all these other guys whose upper bodies are ok but they all have chicken legs and laughs.....lolol

I told him how legs are your foundation and the stronger your foundation, the stronger the rest of your body will become naturally.

Kinda made me feel good to know people notice the hard work we do sometimes......

Ive been telling people this for years, theres scientific studies to back it up but still they dont learn..

Theres even some retards on here that dont believe it...

This is the problem. When I first started in the gym I would have payed to have you big guys give me advice. I did the equivelent of hitting my self in the head with a hammer for the first year. Had I been able to/ or known where to get good advice back then I would have gone so much further/ faster. I the @sshole know-it-alls in the gym ruin it for guys like me. I don't have an ego when I walk in. I just want to do things right, and get strong.
BTW Matt. I read your squat post and now have started doing them on a very constitant basis. I am getting stronger, and bigger! Great Read!

Exactly, and when the few guys DO back, they are just doing cable pull downs. very few in my gym do deads, and when THEY do, its like only 135 or so, whereas I will put on 4 plates.(and i have a bad back)...lolol I love being THAT guy !!!......lolol

I hate dead lifts but you gotta do them. Deadlifts and squats. I hate them both

Lol, i did this at my college when i worked out there in front of some of the powerlifting kids, they all smirked when i was warming up with 135 and 225 and asked when i would be done so they could workout

i said they would work in with me if they liked and they said it's okay, they didn't want to have to keep loading and unloading weight

i said just do your sets and i'll keep up, at which point one of them starting chuckling

the stronger of the 2 maxed out at 405 and i went on to put up 495 for 2 singles

both these guys were seniors and had about 50-60lbs on me at least(fatty wannabee powerlifters)

that was probably one of my best ever back workouts

thats on a good day. depends on how my lower back is feeling. so 405 is good for me considering I used to do much more

my max squat was 600 before back problems........now a good day squatting for me is 365 but I can leg press a house

**vpchill** · 05-05-2009, 11:19 AM

I see. Damn, I used to squat alot when I played ball. Tendinitis in my knees is a byotch. So now i go no higher than 300 on squats. If I feel good I may squeeze 350. But you see my big ass under 185 wondering wtf?? Thats me!!

I have yet to go over 320 on dead lifts. Soon tho T. Im on my way.

Fk i hate squats,, have takin about 4wks off doing them because back been jacked up and ive been half lazy. Did them yesterday with alot of lunges,, man people at wrk are lookin at me like i shit a pine tree. Fk me.

**MASTER** · 05-05-2009, 04:02 PM

Oh how I live deads and squats. Once a month I have a "leg and lower back" day, which is just a pyramid of 8 sets of squats and 6 sets of stiff legged deads. I often feel like puking and getting up the stairs after the workout is rather challenging. My legs are effing huge tho (although not over 30' like tmos, that is just ridiculous).
