Leg day is the easiest day to skip for sure. Especially if it's on Friday. I've been extra sure to make myself go lately as I've been guilty of skipping in the past.

Honest question, why not make Monday leg day?

Because "Max out Monday" sounds way cooler if you're benching haha.

Ha. Max outs are a treat. I heard a gym bro talking about maxing out his barbell curls once. I chuckled.

I'm doing this now. That way I can walk around on weekends. My 10-6 desk jockey profession doesn't require me to move away from my desk.

I'm squatting twice a week and snatching the other two. I'm in a steady state of lactic acid saturation.I'm doing this now. That way I can walk around on weekends. My 10-6 desk jockey profession doesn't require me to move away from my desk.

I have honestly never stretched before my workouts. For some reason I can't stand doing it.
Hopefully that doesn't bite me someday but so far so good.
It's nice to see this thread gaining steam. Keep it up ALL.

One more "leg day" note.
My significant other and I work out with a trainer about once a week as a couple. The trainer told us to stretch for about 20 min AFTER our leg workouts and it will help to reduce soreness the next day. Traditionally I was stretching before the workout.
I took that advice and it actually worked. Way less sore the next two days and I'm attributing it to the stretching.

Got down to about 158 or so last summer. Seems I have been pretty much stuck on 170 (plus or minus a couple pounds) all winter so far, or at least since Thanksgiving, when the big weight gain happened. It's like it doesn't matter what I eat, I stay right here.

That must be nice, hehe.
I know if I didn't work out I would shoot above 200 in probably a month or so. I usually hover around 190.

That must be nice. Hehe.
I weight 234 tonight. With my lifting shoes on. If I didn't come to MASS, I could get to 250, in a heartbeat.

Is that one of the Orange Theory places? I have heard it's fun.

Same for me. I usually do 5 minutes of slow walking and then go through the movements of the lifts I'll be doing.
I have two knee replacements and my doc has told me to stay away from squats. Anyone have any alternatives I might try. I have same issue with running. I walk and like it but get bored. Nothing beats running. I lift almost everyday but mainly upper body. Feel I need more cardio.

How old are you?
Squats are actually very low impact on the knees if done right.
Otherwise, 45* leg press is acceptable for more age advanced individuals.
For Cardio use an elliptical, you can go forward and backwards on it, easy on the knees and a good cardio workout.

Shoulders day is my favoritest day of all the days I lift things.
Strength Complex:
1-1-1-1-1 strict press
3-3-3-3-3 push-press (leg drive, but no dip)
5-5-5-5-5 squat jerk (leg drive & dip to catch the weight overhead)
Add weight after each set. No more than 60 seconds rest. Started at 65#, last set at 155# Added 5-10 each set. Brutal. love it.
From there, some Arnold presses, front raises, and a lateral raise & rear delt flye superset. No, I don't do shrugs up upright rows. Presses do just as much for my trap development. Finally back to taking creatine. Need to get back to doing more cardio.
