If you're one of the guys who skips leg days….

Fuck you for perpetuating that stereotype. I, on the other hand, want everyone to know that training legs is fucking awesome. Obviously your highest amount of weight is going to be pushed with your legs. So, why wouldn't you gloat about the fact that you're in the 300 club on squats, or you can leg curl 150 lbs? I understand that you want big arms. So do I. But that shouldn't mean you neglect the largest muscle group on your body just to get an extra day of arm work (that you probably won't let yourself properly heal from anyways).

Don't be that guy…

If you feel like you need extra work on your arms, do your leg workouts, then go do some curls afterwards. It's not going to make you lose all of your arm gains, so shut up and get under the squat bar. I'm currently squatting 3 times a week and it feels great. I'm a small guy and have increased my squat almost 100 lbs. in the past 3 months, and will soon be at 300. And I'll have some tree trunk legs to prove it.

On the contrary, ladies; don't be afraid to do some upper body lifts. A lot of girls focus on the squat rack, then go straight to the ellipticals in fear of "getting bulky". That's not going to happen. At least not unless you start powerlifting. You'll grow a little, but dudes will think that shit is sexy. So don't be scared of the dumbbells.

Sorry, for the short post. Had to get it out of my system. On a side note, I have some news coming soon to the Lethal Force Fitness Facebook (www.facebook.com/lethalforcefitness), so head over and give it a like.
