3 Reasons Why You Should Skip Leg-Day

It is this time of the week again, it is leg-day. You have been dreading this moment for the past couple of days and you would rather continue doing a max out bench or dumbbell flyes, but your consciousness, coach, girlfriend, or mom tells you that there is more to your body than your chest and your arms. Here are three compelling reasons why they are wrong and you should skip leg day.

Four days to a week before leg-day, your anxiety level shoots through the roof. You have been procrastinating this day for too long; every time you went to the gym to complete a grueling 3 hour lower body program "you haven't eaten right" or "you had stomach cramps from your menstruation cycle (even though you are a guy...)". 

The Anxiety
We all know it is time, you know it, your mom knows it, and your quads do, too. Your stress level raises ... and we all know stress is not good for you. Research has shown that stress causes diseases among them cancer, terrorism, and republicanism. Stop worrying buddy, it is not worth it. 
Further, this quote tells you to move on ... and who could possibly deny the truth of a brainy quote!?

"Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to

 find happiness if you don't move on." 

                       -Carrie Underwood

Where is the Pump?
Let's assume you have managed to walk buy the bench and the dumbbell rack and you actually started with your leg workout. After your first max set of 135lbs squats you look in the mirror and reality hits you, there is no pump. 
Legs do not have the anatomical predisposition to get a pump. But let's be honest here, the pump is the only reasons you go in the gym day in and day out. Put aside all those empty promises of looking better and living healthier, which if true, you destroy anyway by feeding yourself with McDonald's and Jack Daniels 7 times a week. 
The pump, the short feeling of being the size of a mountain and to have the strength of Superman, is what you need to escape your empty life of liver destroying supplements and your low-self esteem complex. Hence, there is no reason to torture yourself with a leg workout, who is working for long-term results anyway. Go and do biceps!   

You cannot see legs in the club anyway
Why do we go to the gym? Besides the pump of course ... right to look good in the club. 
If you have ever been to a club (and you should not read this blog, if you have not) you might have noticed, that everybody wears long pants and that you normally cannot see anything below the waistline, besides those fancy new $2,735 Rick Owens sneakers you acquired yesterday with your credit card. 
Anyway, $3000 more or less on top of the $200,000 educational debt pile you have buried deep in your consciousness do not matter. 
Plus, a girl that is sober enough to notice your tiny calves and quads is not going with you in the first place, so why bother. Hop on the bench and give me ten with 225!
