How to stop hating training legs?

I don’t want to be chicken leg guy but whenever i’m training my legs I think “shit I could be training chest or shoulders”.

Just keep it to the basics that aren't too time consuming. Squats are too time consuming and press on the spine taking just a bit of height from you over time.

Leg presses (angled ones if available).
Front and rear focusing leg curls
Calf raises

Squats shrink you??

Squats shrink you??

Yep. I think up to 1/2 inch if going heavy and doing them over a long period.

I dont enjoy training legs but I manage to go through it by doing my upper/lower routine in a way that I put forearm training at the end of the lower day. I like training my forearms, which motivates me to go through my leg exercises first

I hate training legs. Hehe. WHEN I said fuck that I need to train legs and like it I came up with a way to lessen the pain. One of the only ways to do this is to find a goal that you would like to attain. Have that in mind. Then start doing body squats everyday. Get up off your ass have a sturdy chair under you and do 20 "box squats" lightly sitting on the chair and squatting up (oxymoron?) Hehe. You'll feel the burn. Grease the groove. Disclaimer this is a PHASE, won't last forever. But make it a new hobby your going to do for the next few days ( trick your mind into taking a baby step, say days instead of months. When you've done it for a few days successfully THEN it will be easier to accept saying WEEKS etc etc.
Your going to want to do 20 chair squats every hour. You miss an hour, who cares, dont quit, do a few more to make up for it. Hold yourself accountable. Have fun. No huge deal but it will condition your legs and get you use to the movement pattern. You will start refining your technique and it will become easier with time. THEN on your leg day you will train as you usually do BUT you will have more confidence and investment as you have been doing your bodysquats every hour for days. You will want to see of you've gotten stronger. Motivation. Continue your bodysquats every hour. Bang them out quick. Your legs will feel GREAT. You will have an air of confidence when you walk. Beast. This will make squats easier and make you have a commitment to them thus making them easier. More to say. In a rush.

Touch yourself while doing the exercise (like the quad muscle)

Make most of your leg training sprints.

I do bike sprints 4x 5seconds and 2x 30seconds and finish with reverse hyperextensions 3x10, good for strong athletic legs wont give you huge legs but you will make decent gains

I'm the same but other way around. What I did was walk 30 miles a day which is roughly 48km. Then I upgraded to cycling and now my legs are roided as fuck. I can bike 52km in 2 hours without rest thats how strong my legs are. I biked that far for a job interview and the bastards rejected me.

Ad for my chest/shoulders/arms I recently began roiding them too but I have days where its a pain in the ass to keep going. I have to divide my reps into different sets to compensate which is killing my workout. I think its happening because of stress or i'm not sleeping well enough.
