Ditto. I still like big arms and shoulders and all that, but still consider a huge set of quads something pretty impressive. Takes more mental toughness to do some hard sets of squats or an insane number of lunges or leg presses or something. I’ve never felt the same after a set of curls or presses after I do squatting.

Yeah - very few things make my feel the same way as a squatting to failure and then doing 25 reps on the leg press machine!
Its both my most/least favourite feeling in the gym.

I’m lucky that Ive always had relatively big quads because I really hate training them for anything but super low reps.

For a hot tip, if you are ever training high rep squats, get yourself a set of Titan crash pads.
In between sets of squats, you can collapse on the crash pads and focus on not throwing up.

My legs aren’t too big; my upper body is too small. During my last great attempt to grow in 2018 I gained 30 lbs and I think 22 of it went to my lower body. There’s nothing wrong with that; I was just disappointed that my upper body didn’t keep up.
My next attempt at growth is going to put more time and effort into the upper body while hoping to just maintain my legs. It’s not that I don’t want big legs, but if I have to choose one then I’m going to upper body this time.
It’s not like I wear a speedo to the pool. No one sees my legs anyway.
And don’t worry, I won’t look like one of those guys who’s riding a chicken.

I like how the PC version of the site shows the last person to post on a thread. If I see a certain person has posted then I don’t even open it. I know I’ll see something stupid and/or irritating.

A great collective prank on you would be for no one to ever reply after this post.

There’s a guy in town who goes to the local water park in a speedo. He was on the swim team, and actually was a really good swimmer. He’s in his mid-20’s and somehow seems to not have to work, and spends almost every summer day at the pool in his speedo. That itself wouldn’t be a big deal, but he goes around asking little kids if they want to feel his abs…somehow no one’s decided that was creepy yet so it’s just kept going for a couple years now…I don’t get it.
How is that not creepy?
next you will be saying he drives a van with no windows!

Exactly! I suppose what I meant was, I’m sure people think it’s creepy, but not enough to you know, call the cops or tell him to leave the pool. I’ve never actually seen it happen but my girlfriend lifeguarded for 3 years and said it was pretty constant.
So wrong on many levels.

Yeah, I don’t get it. I kinda know him (went to school with his younger cousins), and I don’t think he’d ever actually do something to a kid, he’s just the most vain person I’ve ever heard of. His sister’s the same way - very pretty, nice body, but constantly walking around pretty much naked and desperate for attention.

At some point he’ll do it to the right kid and they’ll punch him right in the gut. Fists feel too, you know?

Why the gut? I’d go straight below the belt
Now that is creepy, he ask you if you want to feel his abs and you just cup his balls !!

Because he’s asking them to feel his abs. Cool, I’ll feel your abs. With my fist

I wouldn’t want to cup his balls, I’d want them to feel the power of my fist

This brings back bad memories of boxing…
