This opinion is… astonishingly dumb. How the hell are you going to lift anything if your legs are like matchsticks?

I like the "training legs is exhausting". Homeboy, if you're training to failure, all your exercise days should be exhausting.

by Solid_Purchase_9036 2 weeks ago

Training to failure is not the most efficient way to train, though.

If leg days make you look short and stubby, then it sounds like you're already doing a bad job with the rest of your body. Nobody likes to see chicken legs.

yes, aesthetics, the only reason to exercise

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

Let's be real here, the reason most people get cut is aesthetics. We've seen time and time again that working out at the gym doesn't give you the most functional strength, and people with leaner muscles don't look nearly as cut a lot of the time, but are a lot more powerful per weight. But if you look into lifting, you're going to mostly find advice for looking stronger. If it was all fitness, people wouldn't lift all that much, because there are much better ways to get physically healthy.

Nah. I always regret it when I skip leg sessions, and I'm ashamed to say I skip them a lot more often than I should. If you do cardio that works legs as well as weight training, your legs will tone and not look chunky as you add mass. But even chunky is better than disproportionately scrawny legs.

by Bayerkatelynn 2 weeks ago

If your goal is trying to look aesthetically pleasing, then you should train legs as well.

by Spirited_Abroad 2 weeks ago

So you don't often lift things in life with your legs is what you're saying? Honestly I haven't trained them much myself, but the reasoning is much simpler: It's hard keep walking the rest of the day and however long it takes to recover. Upper body you can often get away with not holding heavy loads but legs you have to keep on moving as needed. That doesn't mean it's bad to do it, just means I usually don't wanna.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

I mean it's not exactly an unpopular opinion among gym goers, I've known plenty of people that never train their legs. There's literally jokes about skipping leg day. It's still one of the largest muscle on the human body though.

by Worth_Huckleberry572 2 weeks ago

I remember when I was a personal trainer and women would often say something like, "I don't want to get huge like those muscle ladies." It doesn't happen because you picked up weights a few times. Those muscle ladies are incredibly dedicated, and some are on gear. Getting big legs doesn't happen because you did a few squats, and lower body exercises are probably the most important as you age so that you can stay mobile. If you don't want to get huge legs, then don't do hypertrophic exercises, but having strong legs is probably a good idea.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

that is a valid reason to train them. Im talking about aesthetics

by Spare_Breadfruit 2 weeks ago

Legs and back are most used muscles whether you're completely sedentary, work a laborous job or do lots of labour at home, or are a recreational athlete Leg exercises also work back and core. Whatever various people vaguely define as functional, doing squats and leg exercises will keep you nimble, strong, and mobile into old age. Bench and curls less so

I mean, if you want to look disproportional then I suppose this is true.

Crazy take. I am complemented more on my legs than anything else by a wide margin. Because so many dont train legs and because they're pretty genetic dependant, or atleast calves are, if you're rocking some bomb ass legs and some good above the knee shorts to go with em, you're gonna get noticed.

This is truly an unpopular opinion and I hope you never have to pick anything up. Remember the most important part of a building/tree/ or anything remotely spectacular starts with a good foundation and the legs… they are the foundation

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

I train legs because I'm a runner and don't want an injury. Also leg strength is important because it bares weight, there's a reason people say "lift with your legs and not your back". Legs may seem like a waste of time if you're young, but as you get older leg strength is super important, otherwise your back will go FAST. Not saying you need beefy legs (I don't and don't want them), but training isn't only about aesthetics.

by Mallory68 2 weeks ago

If you think about it, you train legs everytime you walk anywhere, and the weight your legs carry is your upper body. So if you have a big upper body, it automatically trains the legs. /S Is what I'd say if I wanted chicken legs.

You got it bro...keep working your "glory" muscles only.... you'll have a strong upper body, too bad it takes legs to actually do things like pick up stuff.

Possibly the most idiotic gym take I've ever seen. Believe it or not, other people work out to improve sports and activities that involve more than just appearing like a piece of meat to women. Legs are used for basically every activity outside of sitting on a bench press.
