Why do people bother with separate leg days when squats, Romanian deadlifts and maybe calf raises cover all your needs? Even if you don't want to do them on the same day, you can for example squat on push day and deadlift on pull day.

why don’t you make like a Bulgarian and split from this board. no one wants to read your shitty fitness opinions.
I kneel
Having some slight alterations keeps them fun while also potentially improving your hypertrophy results by biasing different areas. It's that simple lol
There is ZERO reason to EVER do a deadlift.
Two words: posterior chain.
Can easily be isolated individually and also squats are superior thougheverbiet
How does one isolate the posterior chain effectively? I hate doing deadlifts but don't know if any other way to work it. Trying not to snap my shit up
How about you worry more about isolating some b***hes
Fricking kek
Reverse hypers are awesome for lower back pain and hip thrusts are great for glutes, not really comparable. Not sure what you mean with the db idea
Like, laying face down on a bench, hold a dumbbell between your feet, and lifting it to work your hams and lower back. Would that work? Or are you describing a different exercise?
Reverse hyperextension
Hyperextension
Glute ham raises
RDL
Good mornings
Ye man girls ADORE gymcels for sure
Are reverse hypers really as great as giys like louie simmons make them sound? I don't have the machine at my gym, but would just holding a dumbbell between my feet work? What about weighted hip thrusts?
>Are reverse hypers really as great as giys like louie simmons make them sound?
Yes
>would just holding a dumbbell between my feet work?
Not really
>What about weighted hip thrusts?
Basically only hits ass and a bit of hamstring and quad
Reverse hyper extensions genuinely are as good as people say. They feel great, and give you an insane lower back pump.
>"nice posterior chain"
said no girl ever
Girls love a nice ass but if it's not balanced out by big hamstrings and big lower back it just looks moronic. Ofc girls don't say that, they've never even heard the term. Doesn't mean they're not attracted to the posterior chain though
they care about arms, chest and abs, anon. thats it
And shoulders. The only way to look like you if while wearing a shirt.
no, they dont care. they just have to be proportionate to the arms, chest and abs.
Won't you get fricked up shoulders if you only train chest?
no lol...if you train arms and chest your shoulders will grow proportionately to them.
t. lateral deltelt
t. more plates more dates believer
moronic take
>the muscles that require no effort to grow are the only ones you should train
What's the point then?
to be attractive? jeez whats with all the looksmaxxcopers in this thread?
keep wasting your time on deadlifts lol
>implying looksmaxxers train legs
If I couldn't train legs I straight up wouldn't lift at all, everything else is too easy lmao
Its the face you gymcel. Post face so we can laugh
obviously face is more important than all, but were talking about training muscles here, moron
That's as dumb as saying men care about butt, boob and belly. You and I both know that everything being in balance is a hard to define important factor. Women with fake breasts too big for their bodies look ridiculous to the vast majority of men.
>everything I do in life is for the amusement of a hypothetical female brain
existentially cucked, beyond embarrassing, irredeemable
>lifting for women
Ngmi
>he never got ass gains
I pity you Hank Hill
Extra volume and frequency for legs is needed for size and strength.
-Competing in powerlifting
-Enjoyment
-For general Strength
Two words: post back.
It's fun
>Why do people bother with separate leg days when squats, Romanian deadlifts and maybe calf raises cover all your needs?
because that's what i do on my leg days?
It all sounds good on paper until you actually try it and end up having to spend at least 1.5 hours in the gym every session
Assuming you actually lift heavy that is
Idk bro sometimes it's nice to just have a leg day. I do what you describe though, push+quad and pull+ham. Leg day every time i hit the gym.
Leg day is quite lite-fricking-rally the most important day
Take your homosexual opinions away from me OP
thats my "leg day". I do squats, rdl, calfs and than hit arms
thread has been totally derailed but yeah you right. I do my squats then hit arms and chest, I do my lunges/good mornings then hit back and shoulders, etc.
Brosplits are the most moronic way to train ever conceived. Not surprising seeing as they come from literal roid trannies
Yeah pretty much. Op as never looked at a powerlifting program in his life.
It feels fricking awesome hitting squats, bench, and DL, then arm and shoulder accessories and walking out of the gym with the biggest full body pump on earth.
>why bother waiting until another day when you have more energy to another heavy lift
It's really no bother. In fact it's a bother not to do it. You'll understand when you start putting plates on the bar.
Dubs and I get a redbull odds and I get a ghost energy
