Does anybody find leg day so hard and mentally taxing?

Like quads glutes and calves in agony at the end. Does anyone struggle to push for the last few reps as well?

I also don't get DOMS unless I've taken a long break, which I haven't done for a while. And I work hard, no question about that. In a weird way I miss the pain, so you really feel you have done something 😀
But I actually also much prefer upper body days, as muscle growth is much more visible, while it takes a lot longer to visibly grow bigger muscles.

I could have written that @HeidiLite! I don’t get DOMs either as I’m doing weights so frequently and I miss the DOMs. But it’s great when you get them after a break because it proves how strong/fit you are!

I also love upper body- chest, biceps and shoulders. Would happily just do those all the time; I just find lower body boring and like you say, results from upper body work are visible so much quicker.

and, and you get more opportunities to show off toned arms as opposed to legs - I can wear short sleeves also in places where miniskirts are not appropriate.

Exactly @HeidiLite. I’m wearing nothing but sleeveless tops at the moment and every so often someone comments on my arms or shoulders which is very nice to hear!

it's leg day today. Sigh. Yesterday's pull day was more fun.
Saw a woman I vaguely know at gym, she was going to a yoga class. She commented on me being in good shape, that she would like to look like that too, what do I do for that?
Me: lift weights, why don't you join me over there?
She: oh no no, I don't want to have muscles, I want to be toned, like you!
Me: well, then that's...weights.

(also i hate the word 'toned'. And I'm not toned, I'm jacked, thanks very much)
