Legs are mostly genetics (like everything else). I for one haven't EVER trained leg, apart from some squats, but that's about it - and I have pretty toned calves and thighs, if I flex. Again, it is genetics. You can increase your quads and thighs, but your calves are pretty much predisposed, unless you take roids.
As for why I don't, and never will train leg day?
1) I don't need it, as I have already stated, I have a relatively stable constitution.
2) More importantly - martial arts require you to be able to kick. The heavier your calves are, the harder it is to effectively deliver kicks, as it makes the kicks slow and as suck, easy to intercept. Just look at guys like Jon Jones, Conor McGregor or arguably the best kicker among these three, Edson Barbosa.
As youcan see, you don't need thundercalves to dish out knockouts. Strong thighs help though, so squats are a great exercise, with or without weights.
Some guys are at the gym to impress women with buff arms and pecs. They aren't there to actually be fit. So they see no reason to do leg day because they assume women don't care about the lower body. Women would care about the lower body when they see just how hot a guys legs look when they're fit.
But also some guys do have just skinny legs genetically. I see guys squatting 315 with perfect form and their legs aren't all that big. It's just something that can't fixed.
I also just enjoy wearing joggers to the gym. I've never been a shorts kind of guy.
Chicken legs vs. toned ones don't matter unless you are like the guy in the first picture. The guy in the first picture looks out of porportion. It isn't exactly a turn off but something that just looks off. As for you, there is nothing wrong with the way you look. Your legs are fine in porportion to your body, and you are pretty attractive. In general, as long as the legs aren't skin and bone, we don't care too much about them not being as toned, so don't worry about them, just don't skip leg day too much.
Lol, that first one is too much! 😂 I don't mind him not being toned, but goodness-- if you are going to try to be toned go all the way!
And wow, you're swole, dude!

Pure laziness but I think also it is difficult to get yourself going on a regular basis. I know gaggers on here including you have been trying to encourage me. I also think to an extent I have better things to do, that's another reason but exercise is so good for you I think once I get myself to do it will be good a college I am going to has a place I might start this fall on the 20th
LMAO the guy wearing green shorts in the first pic, his chest looks just as weak as his legs. there are also a lot of gym bros who skips leg day at my gym, too. out of the 30 something male gym regulars that i see very often ever since they joined a year or more ago, and they're there at the same time almost everytime i'm at the gym, i swear i've only seen like 7 out of the 30 guys to ever do legs at all.
I prefer even slightly toned ones from walking a lot or running, or playing sports... if in general the guy is very fit or even buff, I'd dislike him having skinny legs as it just looks disproportional... if it's generally a skinny guy, I wouldn't mind
Yours look good, I like your arms by the way 💕
Well I have huge muscular legs. I have been riding a bike 10 kms every to and from school since i was 12 years old. It got to the point where I could beat the bus no problem. Then Cross country racing, then got into Downhill Racing. If you want to ditch those little chicken legs you have, get on a bike and do 30 KM every day. I do it so can you.
Honestly, I have never seen a gym in my life.
How do my legs look like?
I mean, to an extent, if he's pretty muscular but has skinny/scrawny legs he looks a bit odd. Thicker leg muscles on men are more attractive, I'd say, but not really a deal breaker unless he looks anorexic.
Am I the only girl who prefers a skinny guy over a muscular one that works out in the gym everyday? (No offense)
They look awful , and it makes a guy look deformed. Guys like that need to do some research to gain more insight into how to train their leg muscles to look proportional to the rest of their body
I rarely workout my legs, because they are just naturally muscular and sort of large. In fact, I have to tactically neglect my legs and target my upper body just to look proportional.
when I see someone with skinny legs i don't have high appreciation of them, usually I pity them and think of them as backwards and primitive, I am sorry if I offended someone but it is not nice to not have that legs culture, it's fucking legs man
I personally DONT care about legs I'm all about the back shoulder muscles, that just does it for me lol fanning myself thinking about it
You guys care more about that than me. I didn’t even notice until a guy pointed it out to me on another guy he felt like insulting.
Lol I'm the opposite I love leg day.
I mean the legs has the most muscle so why would you not build it?
Besides I hear that the ladies like guys with a nice butt.
Your legs are fine bro. They dont look like sticks. And ill be honest.. its a turn off if my partner has thiner legs than mine (and I have big thighs )
Agreed. How can you skip on legs? Legs are the foundation of all fighting arts including boxing. Weak legs means you can’t move and strike properly.
Pathetic.
Never skip leg day.
I prefer it when your body is balanced. So if you go to the gym a lot, train your legs too. If you don’t exercise that much, don’t focus on your legs only.
I feel bad that I laughed at the first photo but come on...
I personally prefer men with nice muscular thighs
I don't think the first guy looks good, because he's too bulky.
You look good though ☺️
Well I don't skip
In fact today was a leg day and I enjoyed it , do it it tones the legs in shape and makes the leg stronger so it is good
I've never met a guy that's scared to show of their legs. Even if they didn't have masculine or thin legs, I don't think they care honestly. But I'm not a guy. And I think it could be a preference, just like how I prefer not to show my legs.
