The one dude is Tyson Chandler, an NBA player, he's probably allowed to skip it if he wants.
qqkikilicious
Gotta be able to rock the top and still fit into your skinny jeans.
PENlS
jesus man, squats are the staple of my workouts

GreenFingeredGamer
I'm built the opposite of that. Why would you just train upper body?
lifealerp
Calves are a struggle man don't judge

Sweep the legs
AmericanWhorerStory
To be fair, it can be very hard to get your calves big, and not just ripped.
ANOMNOMNOM
There's a lot of photoshopping going on here
pizzaandburritos
I dislike body shaming, especially when it's of strangers and you have no idea what their story is.
hairyballzagna
Is that Tyson Chandler?
Ilovesportsandimgur
That's exactly what I was thinking. He looks tall enough
wwtwo
I'm 6'8"... I have skinny legs :((
ineedtopeeee
Why train legs, when people can't see them in selfies?
kewlbeanz83
Finally, it all makes sense now!
ChuckKarma
Take photos of people with small legs. Photoshop them even smaller. Receive my downvote.
Sevulturus
Hoping photo shop? That being said legs are really tough to get big compared to upper body.
Legdig
Legday huh? Every day for me.
TheRealJonSnow
rest day mother fucker you need to give you muscles time to rest and grow
assbad
Man, I'm like the opposite... ol flabbytop bufflegs over here.
StarryPlough
How do people end up like this? Are leg exercises harder or something
Dahuffer
Well if you think about how much of your body your legs take up vs your chest. Leg day can be exhausting for quite a few days afterwards.
OmenRider
Some of them were previously wheelchair-bound like #6 and #7, muscles atrophy when you don't use them.
OmenRider
*allegedly, of course
WhyAreAllTheGoodNamesAlreadyTaken
Got to admit though, reaching the level some of these guys did is impressive without leg day.
bane83
"The calves are the hardest place to add mass!" Also, that guy watching baseball fuckin has to be shopped. Biafran Arnie.
mostlytigerproof
Really? I live up a hill and calves make up 90% of my body weight.
fedoras
"watching baseball"... or playing a baseball video game. that's why his arms are so buff but his legs are so weak.
steikewaffel
calves have muscles that can be trained on each workout, most people don't realize this. I do calves twice as much as the rest, they grow.
DamnumAbsqueInjuria
I've always had the opposite problem. Easily maxing out leg machines but struggling with 150 lbs on the bench press.
calcleric
Don't sweat it on the bench that much. It's not a great movement for your shoulders in the long run. Lower body strength is more productive
Dahuffer
Using any machine is gonna be at least two times easier than free weights
ArcipluvianCosmicGallows
Do you even squat bruh?
wonder89
Squats should take care of that.
GeorgePancakes
I love the replies of squats. Do you even lift? Squats cover core and legs. Bench is ecerything above what the squat will cover.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
Bench press is mostly just pecs. Squats won't help.
ozythemandias
Try squatting with a barbell
DamnumAbsqueInjuria
I've tried that in the past though I have a really curved spine and usually ended up in a lot of pain. Should I just bear through it?
calcleric
If you don't have any knee or hip restrictions and find a qualified CSCS or equal coach the barbell is extremely effective fitness tool.
ozythemandias
Definitely not. Learn proper technique, preferably from a qualified strength coach. In leu of that, Mark Rippetoe is pretty good source.
skoiddpong
+1 for Hulk
Jambersome
Only the last two are real.
Jambersome
Including Bravo.
nakedfeet
A few of the ones with long shorts are misleading. They probably have decent-size thighs, and small calves. Some dudes have tiny calves.
RenamedUser
I hate it too. I'm 6'5" and my calves are the only place I couldn't put on mass. Since I'm tall it looks stupid. It became an obsession (1/2
RenamedUser
2/2 and I'd work them twice a day. They started growing after that, but I couldn't keep doing that and had to stop thinking about them ha
nakedfeet
But the tiny from ankle-to-hip dudes are unforgivable.
TheOtherUsernamesWereTaken
omg as a fitness trainer this just makes me cringe
Crafty7630
Those can't be real...right?
uhhhphrasing
As a person with eyes, same here...

touché
RambunctiousLuncheons
Train me sempai!
ErislandyBenavidez
That's going to be my friend in a few years. He won't take any advice from me because I stopped working out years ago.
TheOneCalledSteve
As a person that loves fitness and is looking to get certified this makes me uncomfortable.
ultraman31
As an American, I never skip leg day. It's the most delicious part of the bucket
TheOtherUsernamesWereTaken
listen here you little shit, but in all honestly I "loled" pretty hard
squidbastard
As a newbie to the gym, legs and core are the only muscles I got, whereas my upper boy is shit.
infeliciter
How about your upper girl? Is that shit too?
squidbastard
Nope, martial arts teacher always taught its easier to break ribs with a kick than a punch.
squidbastard
Oh wait I'm stupid and a bad typer, but really, he did not emphasize upper body as much.
TheOtherUsernamesWereTaken
oh snap!
danishjuggler21
Such a respectable profession! Which cereal box did you pull your certificate out of? :-p
RomaFrozenPizzas
As a hockey player, this makes me cringe. What does this do to their center of gravity?
FuckRight0ff
Yeah your quads are the biggest muscles in your body so I would imagine if you got all top heavy it would mess with your balance for sure.
magmadar
some cant get lower leg muscles no matter what they do , wont get big the muscles are there mostly white strings not so much red(bulk).
OneUpvoteMan
Opposite, red fibers are endurance-oriented and small, white are strength and big.
IDidntKnowWhattoMakeMyUsernameSoIMadeThis
right, it's not that hard to try to at least be somewhat proportional
CrabWallet
You know most people are fat, right? These people are an odd place to start cringing.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
It's funny how this is cringe but all these "fitness" instagram chicks that are becoming famous do the same thing just reverse.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
All they work out is legs to have a huge ass but no mass or definition up top at all.
TallGuy82
As a very tall, very thin guy, it's SO hard to get any mass to build up on my legs, and I hate it!
mehwhyshouldithinkofsomethingunique
Squats, deadlifts, and eat big. Takes time but you'll get it.
TallGuy82
I do it all. I have definition, no mass :-/
mehwhyshouldithinkofsomethingunique
Do you track macros? I know a lot of guys think they eat a lot until they add it up. Best of luck with your gains brah
TallGuy82
Between 5 and 8k calories, depending on what's going on every day
ibelieveinmonkeys
My goodness. I'm a skinny dude. Tried bulking and couldn't get past 3k
justanotheroneofthosegenericlongusernames
Don't worry mate, I'm the same, my limbs just do not gain size. Just gotta be grateful you've got functional legs at the end of the day!
ArthurSlugworth
Please tell me at least some of these are fake
Badgertoes
It seems like a few of them are. Esp the ones with very different sized legs like #9. Unless he had polio.
thisiskissel
A lot of these guys also are on roids. So the proportions are way off, especially if they skip leg day.
Kaplar
At least some of these are fake.
Voodoomancer
That last one is heavily edited, I believe.
flannelgod
First one is photoshopped. The rest are a little more convincing.
insegrevious
Ya, except they're not skipped, they're lean. They even have pictures of these guys defending pulling up to thighs and they're bulked.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
Most of them are shopped if not their calfs are smaller than my forearm. Just everday walking alone would keep your leg from just being bone
srslydude
#6 looks like his legs were photoshopped. They look too thin to be supporting him
MrMelendenator
IIRC #7 was previously in a wheelchair for awhile.
lifeisshortliveitblonde
Source?
MrMelendenator
I have none. I know that picture was posted here before but I can't be
lifeisshortliveitblonde
That's the second time on people have been claiming they were in wheelchairs or soldiers stop the misinformation with no source ...
MrMelendenator
I get where you're coming from, but do you understand what IIRC means?
lifeisshortliveitblonde
On here* pardon my typo
beartato
#5 is just bad angling. He showed up on reddit and took another picture, and his legs looked proportional.
badideainhindsight
#8 is Tyson Chandler. NBA player. Def doesn’t skip leg day.
samshushung
I thought the Hulk one was fake.
KnightSlayerTsorig
Upper body of a viking warrior, legs of a dickbutt.
