We all know the golden rule of gym life: never skip leg day. We also know the brutal truth—leg day hits different. And by different, we mean like a truck.
This meme set is dedicated to those brave souls who wobble out of the squat rack like newborn deer, who dread stairs the day after, and who still come back for more. These memes capture the agony, the pride, and the outright comedy of training your tree trunks.
You’ll find jokes about walking like a penguin, the internal debate over whether to even sit down after squats, and the terror of your trainer saying, “Let’s go for depth today.”
Whether you smash leg day or just survive it, these memes will speak to your sore, trembling soul. Laugh it off—you’ve earned it. And maybe stretch. Seriously, stretch.
