Yeah that god dam skinny man trend is disturbing.
Legs,
Do Lunges, with a bar, Lunges, with Dbs,
Do split squats
DO front split squats
After those
do Wall sits, and wall sits with DB
Do good mornings, or ROmanian deadlifts
and stiff legg deadlifts, you can use Dbs as well
every other leg day do sprints (at least 10 100s or 2 sets of 10 50s.
Look up in Poliquin articles on how to do lunges, I have a feeling you would be doing geek form.

The gym wont allow powercleans either.
I know money is probably tight, apparently unlike your ass ;-] , and there may be other issues as well, but if at all humanly possible you need to find an actual gym to workout in. On another note I was surprised at how much could be accomplished when playing around with dumbell squats as goofy as that may sound.

LOL!
You could also do deadlifts with DB. One sided deadlifts or RDL. These are probably allowed in your gym because you do not drop the weight when doing them and they don’t scare the soccer moms.
You should work your lower body so you don’t look like a kite but I don’t think girls like big butts. But what do I know, my hubby is 5’10" and weighs 145lbs.

Listen to the woman above… she just told ya what I was thinking.

We can’t deadlift at the college gym, and I deadlift at home, but my poundage is limited. We also don’t have a squat rack at the college gym, so I am limited to what I can clean onto my shoulders, unless I want to do zercher squats or something. I don’t really feel like training my legs much, but I know I need to. I am also hoping that by training my legs, it will help lean me out a bit.[/quote]

Barney you have got to be fucking kidding me. I thought you were joking. I can’t believe you’re actually going to lift weights to build up your ass… this has got to be a first.
Holy fuck… when I started in the game it was all about chest, shoulders, and some nice guns. Now we got these kids trying to cut at 140 because they want to look like Brad Pitt. This dude wants to build up his ass muscles.
What the fuck is going on? Am I missing something? Does Arnold Schwarzenegger and Serge Nubret not have any appeal any more. What the fuck happened? Nowadays you have to look like Leonardo DiCaprio or Orlando Bloom at a massive 125lbs to impress the ladies. Is looking like a man with a broad shoulders and a V-tapered back out of the question now? I’ve never even heard of a man wanting to build up his ass muscles. Someone please slap the shit out of me and wake me the fuck up. This can’t be happening.

First of all. The only reason I wanted to train my ass, was because of the article that talked about women subconsciously evaluating mens asses to asses thrusting power. If it makes you feel any better, I have given up that goal.
Secondly, nowhere did I talk about wanting to look like orlando bloom, or being skinny. I have a bit of a belly, and I thought maybe if I started training my legs a bit that would help get rid of my belly. I am 205, and have no intention of loosing any weight, So please, don’t confuse me with the skinny people. If you look at my pictures, you will find that I don’t fit in with the skinny crowd at all. I train shoulders, chest and biceps, and all that just like you were talking about, go heavy fool, so please don’t jump me about that. I used to squat and deadlift, but I have just kind of fallen out of the habit, except for occasional deadlifting. I just don’t ever feel very motivated to train legs, even though I am sure that I need to be. I am sorry that I came to this forum for leg training advice.

“I don’t feel like training my legs much…sob, sniff, boo hoo hoo!” That’s funny in the other forum you were cutting me down saying I was not a serious lifter. At least I do squats without crying to mommy. If you want to lean out then quit trying to fill the void in your life with food. [/quote]
Incidentally, I was not the one that accused you of not being a serious trainer. Read the thread again.

I wish I wrote this.
Ohmigod! Someone wants to build a good body to attract the opposite sex. Say it with me “loser”!
I think you’re one of the more sane people here Barney. I was born genetically without an arse but I grew one with squats, lunges, deadlifts and romanian deadlifts.
Try doing your usual routine with about 3 less sets and add some leg work every time you go to the gym. Squat one day, romanian the next, leg press the next etc. That way you can still do the training you enjoy, just as long as you hit your legs the same time. Do them first as well for extra emphasis.

I think Barney is catching hell because of the several other posters lately who seem to be trying to fit into a stick figure mould. Barney doesn’t fit that profile though. From what I’ve seen, women like guys asses if they stand out. That’s what I’ve been told. I personally don’t understand actually working on getting a larger ass as mine is just fine, but I can possibly understand why someone who isn’t as gifted as myself, would feel inadequate. I will say that I don’t understand the request if he claims he quit doing squats or training legs all together That’s like saying you want to win a bodybuilding contest but you quit working out.

I just kind of quit training legs because the university gym doesn’t allow deads and doesn’t have a squat rack.
I did do leg curls, back extensions and farmers walks at the gym tonight. I did some deadlifts at home.
tommorrow i will probably hack squat at the gym, and do squats at home, and just clean the bar to my shoulders. I may try to do farmers walks again tommorrow if the gym isn’t too busy.
I am sure it really doesn’t qualify, but would farmers walks help with the legs any?
good mornings
This thread made my day.
Pretty much any barbell exercise can be done with dumb bells.
As for your deadlifting dilemma: find something heavy and pick it up or flip it. There’s gotta be heavy things around somewhere.
Have you tried iceberg lettuce instead of spinich? I hear it works wonders for flatassorexia. Don’t eat the yellow snow, it makes your 6 pack look like a 1 pack.
go heavy youre a real ass wipe and thats not a put down, you are hilarious. LOLOLOLOL.
i hope barny sees the lighter side of your comments.
too funny dude.
