Yup! Made my very first purchase from Jacked Nutrition 2 months ago. Left very satisfied with what I got and the person who dealt with me. Although I did find something weird, they have a pretty diverse collection of supplements, but for some reason they decided to limit the flavors. For example, they have an entire rack dedicated to ON GS Whey Protein Jars but all of them were the same flavor, Double Rich Chocolate. So I was forced to get that one even though I wanted a different flavor.
Same was the case with some other brands as well.

Dude, what am I looking at apart from chicken legs if I start skipping leg days? And how in the hell could they be your favorite? I seriously dread the day I have to work on my legs. I feel like dying after just a couple of squats.
Haha. I always had strong legs due to sports, but, I gain muscle on my legs the most rapidly, the most well defined, and the most easily. Plus, I get no soreness at all apart from the first day of legs if I return after a while!
If your nutrition is on point, and you get ample sleep, I see no reason why you should have the death feeling. I mean, I know the feeling, because I did legs yesterday, and that was after a month of no gym at all due to a crazy routine, so I can relate to the pain, however, I do believe it's mind over matter too, to some extent.
Don't skip legs. Chicken legs and looking out of proportion is one thing, but, when you train legs, since they're such a massive muscle, you'll be burning much more calories [which was a major boost in my journey of fat loss. I started at 85kg [obese or just borderline entering into obesity] and now I'm in the low 70's [flattish belly, modest definition on shoulders and delts, good traps, nice triceps but disappointing biceps, but, huge legs =P) at a (very) short height of 5'4 so I'm sure you can imagine the two states)]. So, for anyone looking for fat loss, I would highly recommend leg training be a part of their regime, especially the bigger, compound exercises such as squats and deadlifts (both of which are my joint favorites, but deadlifts edging just above squats, if I had to).
Second major reason, and, a lot of people will argue that 'oh, but there are so many natural athletes who don't train legs but still have phenomenal upper bodies blabla, is that since they're such a big muscle group, they give you a massive testosterone boost, which, in turn, leads to more gains. When I started training legs, I noticed within the first month that I had put on a lot more muscle on my arms (and of course legs) while losing body fat. Now, I'm not saying that you wont be able to make gains on the upper body without leg training, I'm just saying that it'll be more efficient when you do train them.
Also, squats and deadlifts result in overall improved core strength. I noticed my ab strength improve quite significantly after leg exercises that involved core engagement.
Finally, there's just so much I burn after legs that I can truly make my cheat meals halaal. So, whenever I'm in the mood for something, I justify it by doing legs and burning off the excess (hopefully) =p
But, I will recommend doing legs (with proper form!!!) and having a proper diet with a proper rest to get rid of the pain. I have an unusual ability to train legs as hard as I want without any soreness, but, most of my friends here don't get *that* sore either unless they're returning to legs after quite a while.
Protein intake is key, especially in the anabolic window post workout!
Good luck and keep me informed!
