Leg day is one of the most hated workout days in the gym. People go so far as to skip it all together because they dread enduring another set of squats, lunges, leg presses or step ups. Don’t let this be you ever again. After watching this video, you are going to know the real reason why you hate leg day and, most importantly, what you need to do to start loving it from now on.
Leg training is very polarizing. Ask someone whether they enjoy training their legs and you are going to get a strong response one way or the other. Some will actually look forward to it while the majority will despise it. There is actually a very good reason for why you might be one of those that does not like training their legs. Because doing so is really hard! There are over 50 muscles in the lower body that get trained when you do your leg workouts. The same cannot be said for training biceps. The more muscles that are working the harder the demand placed on you.
That said, that isn’t the only reason why you hate leg day. More importantly, if you do not look forward to training your legs then you likely were forced by external forces to start training your legs in a way that exceeded your abilities at an early point in your training. This is a big mistake, but it can be corrected. If you are willing to break it all down and start back at square one, you can rebuild your leg training and build huge legs in the process.
This is going to require that you get honest with yourself however. You need to be willing to admit that your squat (while heavy) may not truly be commanded at all points in the range of motion of the exercise. If you are feeling every rep in your joints more than your muscles then you definitely need to re-evaluate your performance of the lift and be willing to make some changes.
Either way, when we skip the necessary process of building up to a big squat, we get frustrated and wind up hating leg training. This happens for one of two reasons. The first is, you perform your reps badly and allow the muscles that should be doing the work to escape unworked. This will only limit the gains you see in your legs which will frustrate you and make you start wanting to blame your genetics for your poor progress.
It is not your genetics. It is you. You need to be honest with your shortcomings and realize that lifting with a lighter weight may have allowed you to put more of the work in your legs where it should be and you would get better results in the process. The second thing that happens is that you compensate your way through every rep of your leg training and wind up beating up your knees, ankles and hips in the process. This makes leg training physically unbearable and something that you want to avoid at all costs moving forward.
Neither of these situations are conducive to you getting bigger legs. So, look at yourself in the mirror and be honest with your current approach to leg training. If you find that either of the above scenarios sounds like something that you are doing too much of right now, do me a favor and back off. Start with much lighter weights than you can supposedly handle and work on perfecting your squat form. From here, gradually add back in the weight and you will be shocked at not just how good your legs feel but how great they start looking in the process.

Do gack squats if you wanna look tough. Those scare me like my knee will snap
When I wake up and realize it's leg day i think to myself. "Should I take a rest day?" In fact if I'm not feeling rested or up to it I sometimes will take a day off. Not often but I certainly don't more than say chest or back day
Whenever I do legs with dumbbells after the first exercise I get shaky and it's hard to do the other exercises with good form, I keep going back anyways, hopefully one day my legs will be super strong 💪
Due to leg day once i decided to jump sit on my toilet seat and the results were horrific 😏

JOKES..😄
I have nothing against squats, I even like to train my legs, but I don't like that at the end of squats my pulse can be 160+ beats. And I do not know what to do with it, I'm afraid to hurt my heart.
For me sometimes I get moody. But it must be because I don't eat enough before the session. So then after I'm done, especially if I go hard I get so moody like a girl
I can't even walk down the stairs of my gym after leg day 🤣😭
Why people hate leg day:
1. Your not hitting chest
Thank you for this I really needed this I’m new to the gym and scared to do certain exercises cause I’m weak but this got me motivated to actually do them thank you for this information 😊
I hate leg day because I don't use my chest or shoulders to walk
i do hate leg day but only because it makes me want to puke everytime i try my best and it doesnt seem that healthy at all. Anyways, it feels like winning after you finish it 😉
I hate working out legs because I always have the impending doom of passing out. Even when doing moderate weight. Have breathing technique down, form is good, primarily using machines and without fail, every leg day. I train and I'm light headed, dizzy and it puts me off the rest of my workout. This only ever happens on leg day as well. I can push like crazy any other day exert myself to breaking point, but leg day, I barely push, and I'm ready to keel over
I just hate being sore AF for 4 days after
I think one additional problem that squads are hard if you have some problems with conditioning
I only trained 1 leg the first year..I wish I did all 3.
its weird. most girls love legs and hate arm workouts, but for me its totally opposite. I hate legs with burning passion and i could hit upper body & abs every single day, especially its kind of weak of me to struggle with such low weights as a woman.
STOP DOING LEG DAY YOU'LL KILL YOUR GAINS!!!!!!
Such great advice. I see so many chasing numbers caring little about form and actual mobility, all of whom have been injured in the process. Swallow your pride and do it right for actual ability, not numbers.
Amen
why I don't hit leg day
1. my back hurts
2. days after that day
I love leg days because I can lift impressive weights but I hate it because I become totally fatigued and usually run out of breath before I reach muscle failure. I feel sleepy and light headed after some heavy sets.
This video is getting old…
…yet it still drills a hard lesson. Thank you Taskmaster Jeff Cavalier 🙏❤️
Nothing I love more than leg day. I literally overdo
Amazing info, thanks bro 🙏
going to drop 5kgs from my bar during squatting
I think that the skeleton got it better than me xD
I hate leg day because i think it’ll get bigger rather then just toned and lose the bf
Not me squatting 95lbs… I'm building my reps though.
I love leg day!
I hate leg day because I feel like Im not doing anything right. I always get cramps in my toes. My feet pains in very workout. My knees pop and pain. And I don't know how to fix it. I really want to, but I just have no idea how to fix it or how to find out how to fix it.
I love feeling my legs work. I hate not feeling anything with the amount of effort I put in
I love my leg days. I’m 43 yrs old. I actually do 2 leg days a week. 2 days a week helps against that severe sore. And ya squats and deadlifts I’ve had to start over several times because form and just small details that I was never taught. That ego is a hard one but I want to be in gym in 20 or 30 yrs from now. I love leg day over any upper body workout. The growth and strength I’ve seen. Exciting and proud of where I am now. Thanks Jeff!!!
