seansdady Posts: 12 Joined: 2001/02/07	2001/03/02, 10:46 AM I would like to know why so many people work out and get big but dont do their legs? And why so many want to lift a lot of weight and not do it right to get big like they should.And skinny people that can do a lot of weight but cant get big. I see a lot of people doing a lot of exersizes the wrong way like allmost evey one at my gym does lat pull downs wrong,dont they know it does not work or orther body parts are put into play and not what they think they are working.

But some people do go to extremes and end up injuring themselves. Bodybuilding is not about how much you can lift but how you lift it. Question #3: It's all in genetics. Question #4: People may exercise wrong because: they are doing more weight then they can handle. They don't know the proper way to do the exercise. If you see someone doing this take some time out and let the person know. I'm sure the suggestion will be accepted openly. Well those are my answers and I don't know if I'm right or wrong but I gave it a shot. There are many reasons why people do the things they do. ~billk~

I did how ever approach somebody who was doing an exercise wrong and I asked if I could show them how to do the exercise more effectively. Unfortunetly since he was bigger than I am he did not appreciate me trying to help. I guess pride got in the way, but I have helped others that are the same size and smaller. They tend to be more appreciative.

Some people just don't know the proper way to do some execises, they either don't know proper form or lift more than they can because of "ego". "Ego" gets in the way of progress, you have to learn to put it aside in the gym. And that is hard for most people to do. Rob

If you just train upper body you can put on a tight tee-shirt and roll up the sleves to show it off and wear long baggy pants to hide the toothpicks you stand on. What they don't realize is that they are cheating themselves because heavy leg work releases testosterone to aid your growth.
