True, semi-random story: Two guys who are always there when I'm there (and are generally pretty serious about their routines) have a lame leg day. Neither breaks parallel on squats. Neither gets a full ROM on leg press (maybe 6-8" of travel). They use the hams machine instead of just doing some stiff-legged deads or pullthroughs. It's mildly disappointing. Their other sessions are generally pretty good -- nice combo of back exercises, good chest and tri sets, etc. I keep meaning to introduce myself because I'd be happy to fill in if one was ever sick or whatever (since we have a very similar split).

Anyway ... I'll probably
I don't know about you, but I see far too many guys in the gym who don't do real leg routines. Half squats, never a deadlift to be found, all the focus on the upper body. I always wonder if they realize how much they are impeding muscle growth everywhere else by not growing the largest testosterone producers in the body.
