+ 12 Building Massive Legs
Everyone runs on a Monday and the first machine taken is "bench press" , everyone wants a big ass chest right? Well with that sponge Bob mentality it will hinder your gains and free flowing testosterone. I personally admire a physique, with nice thick shredded quads, more than nice chest! Well here here my fellow eroiders, I will begin this quest of quads with you. One key I can't tell you is to tan, because face it ,we never tan above the knees and below the waist. The tan will give your legs that polished look. Ok now, with that out of the way. The leg game is about angles. ...Angles you say, Yes angles!
We all know how to do a proper squat right, we'll hopefully at this stage of the game you do. Well with angles your can target a specific part of your body.
For example when your on the Leg press machine and your doing calf raises. If you rotate your toes outboard at the 10 and 2 position, it will target your outter calves. Now, if you rotate your toes in board on the same excercise, it will work the inner muscles.
This applys to alot of leg excercises! Why do some people have massive legs and other chicken legs? The same reason some have bigger feet than others GENETICS baby.
Fortunately for me legs were one of my genetic gifts. Here's a pic of my legs earlier last year!
<The left pic was with only 3 months training legs and the right pic was a before pic.
Yes I have more work to do, but I will soon post a recent pic and let you see what they look like now. ;)
With lighter weights, when doing legs be sure to use full range of motion and high reps. If your not crawling out of the gym after leg day, then your doing something wrong.
Leg extensions, try them with your toes pointed out, to work the inner thigh and toes pointed in to work your outter.
Squats, try them with your legs closer together to focus on your inner legs.
Try these different movements when doing Leg extensions, hold it on the way up and don't just swing it, be sure to contract!
Legs are all about reps, the squeeze, contraction and angles baby! Get your roots big and your branches will grow! ;)

RustyhookerI blasted legs with a vengence after reading this. THANK YOU!
Nice bro, your welcome. You have helped on more than one Ocassion. That's awesome!
You want big sweeps... easy... hack squats.. good post bro, good progress
I'm going to add more of them to my regime.
I fucking love them bro!! You look great dude, keep it up.
Check out my wheels bro

LOL I just noticed you are standing on your sink.
Don't try that shit at home, I fell off twice doing that dangerous stunt, but as long as you like it, it serves it's purpose ;)
That's impressive. I train legs twice a week, hell even on chest day I do something leg related.
Thank you mama and your legs progress shows tremendously!
Thats a bad ass set of wheels! I got to get some of those lol! What are you doing for your inner legs?
Close leg squats, frog press and that female inner thigh machine! Haha I look funny af using it, but it works. Haha It looks great when a woman is on that machine, oh boy. Thigh adductor
Great post bro! This actually belongs in the workout section but more eyes will see it here. I've been paying a lot of attention to my long neglected legs due to back surgery. So I'm always sopping up good info on legs. So thanks for the post bro +1 Oh yeah by the way nice effing wheels bro I don't know if I'll ever get there but I'm sure gonna give it a helluva shot.....
Thanks brother and I look forward to seeing your final results in your comp!
If you ever need any help, I've been through three ruptured discs and still my legs aren't best asset. Drop me a line if you want to chat about it.
good shit bro.. legs are looking great. +1..
Thanks big bro!
Glad I don't live close to you; I would be humping your legs. Changing my leg routine this week no more frog presses, they were building my inner's instead of my outers. This week will be feet close together presses and isolations. Besides the tan; should we shave our legs too if they are really hairy or does that give them character?
Lmfao! Non shaved legs do give character! The same way I like my women! Jk haha
You read my mind, Mondays everyone one wants to be on the bench
. I'm in the squat rack.
+1 from MC your legs are spectacular my friend.
Thanks bro, doing legs on Mon when your fully energized you can kill it and get it outta the way and the Leg machines are all empty on monday!
Exactly what I do. I try and train body parts in a completely different order to others splits, makes equipment availability way better.
Looking good W. Told you this before, you're made for this game.
Hey KFC called they are two legs short of a family pack .. Lmfao ha ha ha. Bro I'm just jk.. Those are some swole legs nicely cut up and thick+2
Thanks brother I'll look like you soon enough. Lol
The best ive gotten my quads to grow was split them up. Tueday is glutes and hamstrings day and calves and then Saturday is my higher food intake day usually and a day I get to lay around so I just demolishe quads and calves that day
That a good idea and I have tried that before. If I train legs on split, I usually do quads heavy and hams light. Then then following week I'll do quads light and hams heavy! My heavy is meaning still being able to do 15-20 reps fully.

Check these bad boys out!
Good post man, I see over and over again how guys put 405 in the rack and do 3 sets of 5-8 reps like their doin something. Then the next day I hear my legs aren't even sore bro. I never go above 225 and walk out the gym like a pirate with 2 wooden legs
AnonYou mean the half reppers? Shit most guys don't even do half of a rep what am I saying….
Half repping is an epidemic at my local spot, there's only a handful of us that really get it. I used to go out my way and help some guys with their form. The look of anguish on their face when you drop the weight and its "hurts" more with proper form is priceless!
Exactly and they do the 405 with shitty form. I like to feel the burn, some like to feel the wobble they get, after adding crazy weight And not being able to handle it.I do leg extensions until my quads are on freaking fire!
Thats right it hurts to even touch them shits when you finish...lol...leg day is mondays for me. I always have that whole corner to myself while everyone else is celebrating international chest day
Thems some good lookin legs. I personally LOVE a good pump in my quads/butt. Lol. So much more satisfying than arms or chest. Pulling up your shorts and squeezing your quads till they feel like they're gonna pop and having that nice full solid feeling. You just feel, powerful I suppose. Plus like you said there's a trickle effect toward the other extremities. My legs grow like crazy just like yours. Which is very fortunate for me because of a really bad lumbar injury. I can work them once a week and grow grow grow without killing my back. I hate it when girls talk about "abs".... BITCH LOOK AT MY QUADS!! lol! +1 for leg day! Good post!
Haha," bitch look at my quads", I love it!
Excellent wheels......to me having a good set of legs says you are a true athlete and hard worker. Legs come only through pain.....deep burning pain.
About 20 years ago there was a big university study on squatting and overall strength. Study showed regular heavy squatting gave lifters a big boost in their bench press and overall LBM versus the control group.....no squats period. Heavy leg presses and extensions etc had no effect on upper body strength.
Reason.....heavy squatting was shown in blood work to greatly increase the bodies production of growth hormone.
Hmmm interesting! I love studys.
