There’s a lot of abdominal and pelvic pressure during any lower body compounds, along with just a lot of metabolic activity, and blood flow to your lower body

I’ve had the same struggle and honestly i just try not to eat much before leg day, most i’ll have is a rice krispy treat or something light bc the leg muscles will make you wanna shit very quick especially if you haven’t had it morning shit yet

This is absolutely correct and was a horrifying discovery when I first started doing stretches and leg/ab stuff. I was in the gym for 10 minutes and immediately had the overwhelming urge to shit and within 2 minutes I was in the bathroom and I was *literally* 5 pounds lighter. Anything revolving around abdominal/pelvic muscles is absolutely the cheat code for shitting, it’s why so many people recommend stretching if you’re constipated
