The Best Reason to Train Legs 

Well said Jeroen.

Very true

My legs are massive and my arms are tiny :(

It's not the beginning of the end but you are holding yourself back. Last year was a skipped leg year for me but I trained consistently all year. This year I'm incorporating leg day so I'm just gonna ascend to the next level.

Funny shit bro hahaha

Imagine how strong you would be if you did +20kg pistols on top of a flying airplane

Ok killua

Ty will get my gym to install one 👊

Work capacity gains!

Broscience is strong in this one

@@PumperPanda95 no broscience, it's a fact that squats and deadlifts elevate test and growth hormones

@@JosueLopez-kk9us Show me the studies.

@@PumperPanda95 its true, but its insignificant amount that changes absolutely nothing lol.

Wow, i'd love to think like you

I wish I had your perspective 😔😔😔😔 keep it up bro

Keep killing it Harry! Every time you comment it seems like you're making more and more gains.

AlphaDestiny this fucking guy, not only does he have the best lifting channel on RU-vid but he's like Father Christmas he knows all his subscribers individually!!

Harry Raven Get after that shit, boy!!!

I've been doing box squats recently to improve leg drive for deadlifts. I will see how it works out. I'm also doing lots of good mornings off pins, I am playing around with these lifts to assess carryover.

Ladislaff narrow stance AKA deadlift stance box squats are great for leg drive

AlphaDestiny training footage baby pleeeeeease!

Yeah that's what George Leeman said and it makes sense especially for behind the back deadlifts. What I keep thinking about though...is whether wide stance is superior. I mean a wide will build a close, but close won't build a wide. On one end we got Leeman saying to do narrow stance for deadlift carryover, and on the other end Louie Simmons says to do wide. Hard to believe which is correct yknow

AlphaDestiny it's all down to specificity if you ask me. Wide is good because it builds your regular squat AND will help your deadlift (since wide does build close), so it kills 2 birds with 1 stone. Narrow is good because it puts you in an incredibly similar position to your deadlift, sitting back with a close stance means you're forced to lean over a lot (much like the start of a pull)

Happy to hear that Lucas!

My pleasure :)

Nice man, keep pushing those leg gains

Preciate it brother

Well yeah I went from benching one time a week to 3x and did some progessive overload each workout and I increased 15kg in like 2 weeks..I was very suprised but I feel like squat made me stronger overall my body just squatting that heavy weight so many times a week idk if I gained muscle but my nervous system is more stronger atm and yeah I did some bullshit bro split before now Im on a fullbody program that did something too I guess.

I didnt understand half of what u wrote bruh but yeh my bench got stronger from squatting 3x a week and I also increased my bench once a week to 3x a week too but I noticed that my body got stronger overall from squatting and that helped me to push my bench I believe or maybe the fullbody program gave me super saiyan power im not sure but something happened.

Top3 Anything & random stuff full body program with squat 3x/week the best mass gaining program

Provided that you use proper form and do not get injured, it will not stunt your growth. Actually many coaches have argued that squats and deadlifts enhance growth due to the growth hormone release.

Happy to help brother!

Sounds interesting. I will Start to Train legs and See if my Bench goes up

Honestly I believe the claims are overhyped. Little fluctuations in hormone levels will not affect the total levels in the grand scheme of things. It's a minor benefit at best. But you know what, if it helps gym bros stay motivated to train legs let them believe it!

I am that guy with the big upper body and mediocre legs. Most of my mass occurred from manual labor and gasp, lifting with machines at the gym, not a squat or deadlift occurred until I had at least 85ish% of the mass that I have (upper body).....and the rest of the 15% I believe was simply from getting my upper body lifts better after I had started free weight squats/deadlifts. 5' 7" 198 pounds 23 1/2" small leg, 24" for the "big" leg. I have some fat but i'm the body type that stores little fat on arms or legs....mostly all gut. Arms 16 3/4" Anyhow the most I ever squatted (free weight) was whole 255 for sets of 5 lol, Deadlift a whole 315....I can't do them without screwing my back up. (old inflexible man....) I really don't think I'd magically have 17"+ super lean arms if squatted 405+ for sets of 5+, I'd just have legs more like yours. (26" right?) This is with benching 240 for sets of 6....and doing god knows what (700+) for my back pulling heavy sets of rolls off air shafts at work. (with a hoist but there is still tension when the core rubs on the shaft) BTW thanks to YOUR advice a couple of years ago I have found that the single leg-leg press actually makes my legs grow, they were 1/2" - 1" smaller before I started doing them. (I've only been doing them for 3 months! though) If you have a bad back they are your best bet I think. (hoping for 25" eventually)

Happy to hear that Scott

Maintain, you don't want to stop completely. That, or move onto a different facet of leg training such as deadlift-specific programs. This is what I do for the most part, train the posterior chain like a madman.

AlphaDestiny awesome man! yeah I do athletics so I think I will do plenty of plyos pistols and Olympic lifts for maintaining!

do single leg exercises like split squats, pistols, lunges and do things like hyperextensions and the prowler/sled push and pull (run fast with it, dont load it up and go slow). they hit the legs hard but they are exercises that cant be loaded really heavy so packing mass is difficult with them (unless you're a noob). and dont neglect your calves

4 years late but.......Your recovery Probably got better not the leg drive

Logan Vervicos what are kilos?

@@kingquads6982 omg

Thank you Janesha

My pleasure

I would never stick to one, but if I can remove a variation from that list it would be the low bar.

AlphaDestiny and why is that?

Preciate the feedback brother

It's a phenomenal system. The only thing is that you need to really optimize your nutrition and be dedicated to running it. It's not for everyone IMO

AlphaDestiny thanks for the reply!

AlphaDestiny I would love to see you do a video on your thoughts on the Bulgarian method. Really interested to hear what you have to say.

jtyree0226 oh, thanks

To each their own, I would never do it but you do what you want.

You aren’t eating enough

Dat logic

Smart boy

Got lots of videos like that from 2016, watch those in the mean time. Will make new vids on shoulders soon.

Fabian B. NE, hands down.

NE is superior on all levels.

TGK Turbo do both

if i do legs they will just get bigger

The muscle will get bigger which is a good thing, so you must make them visible by doing cardio

wow same here. nice to hear somebody with the same problem.

I stopped with squats completely , not even box squats but i could do 315x5 easy, so im just doing deadlift now for lower body.

frequency is key for naturals. at least 2x a week, 3 is best. also consider working side to side as well as front to back for more thickness

Do box squats and deadlifts man, hit some sled pulls and leg curls while you're at it too. Build from there

Social conditioning. But let me tell you, what REALLY makes their pussies mad wet is a real, masculine man. Also recognize that these high school girls are very immature and have strange tastes. As they get older they will find these kpop idols less attractive.

Thanks for the reply! Maybe with so many "girly boys" in our society, masculine man become even more appealing for women

Haha nice
