I don't get it either. I take the opposite approach--I have very sexy legs.

It's a mixture of training only for vanity purposes, only having access to basic dumbbells and bench at home and training your legs being ****ing exhausting.

But lots of people like great legs. Not to mention that training your legs means you're normally training your ass and who doesn't like a nice ass??

It's more effort though. And if you only have access to basic equipment it's really difficult. Plus if you're just training for selfies to post on Instagram who cares about your legs.

I don't agree with the people who only train their upper bodies but I understand.

I think that if you have enough equipment and weights to get a super pumped upper body, you have everything you need to work out your lower body (lunges, squats, deadlifts).

But anyway, very very strange behavior.

There's the old adage: "Curls for the girls"

Meaning that men assume that women like big arms, so they focus only on that. Or maybe they're just stupid.

I have a person in my office who goes to the gym and exercises ONLY his biceps. But ok, it's nowhere near the level of what some of these Bravo-types are doing.

You'd need a squat rack to do squats, you can get a good upper body with just a set of dumbbells.

But those are nowhere near as good as using a squat rack. And tbf you did say squats not dumbbell squats.
