As an older Leg DON myself I will start dishing out memberships in this exclusive getbig club. Yes, there will be subjectivism and it's totally up to me and the other 2 honorary founding members and the only 2 exclusive club member while being also the first inductees .. The Effervescent and "Eyecandy" Che.
The criteria is muscularity, proportions, definition, presentation or being just cool and awesome in general. Nakedness might grant you a public following so take note ahead..

that sounds full of pain. i tore my ACL and meniscus in knee years ago. it gets sprained easily; so haven't been able to train legs hard without issues

I started training my legs again after a 7 year hiatus and am now remembering how cool and easy is when you have great genetics for legs.

Is everyone short here?
I'm 5'11" which is supposed to be the average height or a tad more in my home country but to be honest I do feel pretty short most of the time... probably since most of my friends are over 6'2".. was even worse when I was living in the Netherlands where the average height for men is over 6 feet.
Every time I go to Asia or even places like Spain I feel like a giant though especially when over 220 lbs.

Go4it .. your legs are surprisingly good .. I remember in Mr Getbig you had ridiculously thin legs but I must say that your turnaround is quite impressive. I am sure all this is because of those 5000 cal breakfasts which were gargantuan to say the least.

Hi Vince. I know you get a lot of criticism but your legs in those pics are quite well developed for a natural. I do not think you are Leg DON status yet though, but you could in the future. Go on a cycle and develop them, I am positive you could have quite a decent build..honestly. (and fucking DIET)

He is definitely the epitome of "ON" season and "OFF" season. He should try and keep more consistent.

now, do you have legs? or are you just hanging outside this Exclusive Club
If your truly natural legs are not terrible - but far from something to brag about. If you have ever be on gear you should be ashamed - those legs are not "big" - lol
What a toolbag post though - do you have any friends in real life?

It only counts on stage...

Ok. So you think I'm the only one in this thread that was on gear? Incidentally, the people in the rest of that line up were at least 15 years younger than me. And no, he doesn't. Not by a long shot. But he does have a good physique

i have no problem at all with anyone who takes whatever he wants.. it's only rediculous when someone on gears criticizes another one who is natural for being small or weak.. etc..

Che, those are old pics. In the new ones he posted, his leg looks very good so he is in. An honorary founding member cannot voluntarily just quit .. he has to go first a 5 round no holds no clothes bared all oiled up with gracie bjitshu.

Thank you sir!

Im just so honoured and elated to be part of this fine elite group.
I think I would first like to thank Sev for having such an eye for perfection. Without Sev.... none of this would be possible. Second I would like to thank my mom..... for always renting rooms in the top floor...and never letting use the elevator. And last and for most... I would like to thank the squat rack!!!

what are some of the club priveleges?
how much is the member discount on rinsed beef?
is there a separate hot tub for bears and twinks or is it consolidated?
who is in charge of rubbing down all the members' legs with Tiger balm, and washing the complimentary velvet jizz towels?
is there a rewards card?
-
what are some of the club priveleges?
Besides the general awesomeness of being a member?
how much is the member discount on rinsed beef?
69%
is there a separate hot tub for bears and twinks or is it consolidated?
Joint hotbath with bubbles as we seek to erase any differentiation. There is an ambulance cart ready at all times if any of the twinks suffer "injuries"
who is in charge of rubbing down all the members' legs with Tiger balm, and washing the complimentary velvet jizz towels?
Each week we have to draw a ticket with a name from a big fishbowl of volunteers
is there a rewards card?
Obviously. It offers points that can be traded for "services" at the spa which is manned by many well known fitness models.

Proof you dont have to squat ;)
Honestly? To me this picture is the clear proof of the opposite.
You've got huge arms and you're a massive guy in general, born with the genes to become a huge bodybuilder, I'd say you could have gotten to IFBB pro size if you had taken large amounts of AAS .. most likely at least. This is not something that anyone could do or even the majority ... and yet your legs are clearly far behind your upper body. Of course not every muscle grows the same and responds to training and drugs the same but someone with an upper body like yours and on AAS should easily be able to get his legs big.
I'm not saying your legs are shit and I also think that you've posted before that huge legs are not on your wishlist anyway and that's absolutely acceptable but your statement against squats in combination with the picture you've posted holds little value. You make it sound like squats are NOT the best excersise for lower body development as well as one of the if not the best excersise overall for strength, size and functionality...
My legs have been built almost exclusively with squats, during 10 out of the 12 years that I've been working out my ONLY lower body excersises were squats, deadlifts and calf raises with 80% of my energy going into the squats. I am a guy who was born with below average genes for building muscle, my body seems to fight every ounce of new lean mass I put on and I've always had trouble packing on the meat but my quads are my strongest and biggest part.

I squat or hack squat every workout 'leg'wise long time ,I believe squats in general cover all basses on leg mass if that's the desired effect wanted,low rep/hi rep /drops/painful pumps is what builds good to great legs,cover all bases and most will be set.
-

Squats are not the best exercise for stressing the legs and inducing muscle growth.
Think about it, how much weight can you push in a leg press compared to a squat?
What lets you down on the squat?
Its the low back, you can only squat as much as your lower back can take, not the legs.
Take the low back out of the equation and you can increase stress on the quads and hams.
That is all.

Groink has decent legs that I'm sure he could grow if he really wanted.
But those calves need some work

No it's not. Look at the title...Getbig Bodybuilding, Figure and FITNESS forum.

What is big is relative to what isn't big. Get implies moving in the direction of bigness.
There are definitely some big wheels here. -Sad to admit that mine are not currently among them. Currently I am going for the old man lean look.

As an older Leg DON myself I will start dishing out memberships in this exclusive getbig club. Yes, there will be subjectivism and it's totally up to me and the other 2 honorary founding members and the only 2 exclusive club member while being also the first inductees .. The Effervescent and "Eyecandy" Che.
The criteria is muscularity, proportions, definition, presentation or being just cool and awesome in general. Nakedness might grant you a public following so take note ahead..
I think you hold some wacky ideas (particularly vis-a-vis Reptilians), and I still strongly differ with you on "Breaking Bad"'s quality -- or that it "glorifies" meth-cooking, for that matter -- BUT ...
That said ... :)
While you don't have gigantic wheels, they're about perfectly proportioned. With a tick more calves, I'd call them perfect, totally no homo. You don't have that stupid turnip thigh look and, even at less than totally shredded, you still have crazy-ass separation.
I know you've squatted decent numbers at relatively low bodyweights. To what do you attribute most of your leg development, Sev?

Haters...haha
I really tried to make it clear that I'm not hating on you. All I'm saying is that your lower body is far behind your upper body in terms of muscular development and so you talking about how squats are not necessary to get big thighs is somewhat misguided. I even clearly said that your legs are of course more than decent and most people would be more than happy to reach this level of development but for someone with your genes and arms over 19" those legs are sub-par and if you'd start squatting they'd be growing a few inches in no time for sure... and I'm talking about quality muscle, lean and deeply seperated beef.
Ok back to original topic... trying to find some good pics of my calves since they are really my best bodypart, even better than my upper legs but the pictures I've posted so far don't really do them justice, they are pretty big for a small framed guy with tiny joints like myself and they've got great shape and deep cuts... mhh the few good pics I've found on my hard drive are certainly not to be posted on here ... were never meant for the public, that's all I'm gonna tell ya :D Well I've got 4 cameras lying around so I might as well just take a few snapshots ..

Fair enough.
Truth is I dont want them any bigger. I have always said that arnold type legs are the ideal..not big crazy thighs. I could easily blow them out..it's just my genes.
I do three sets of leg press. Not heavy. Three sets extensions...three leg curl.
Standard stuff..nothing insane..always heep the reps high

And for small muscle groups bis and tris, you said you do 3 exercises for each ... 4 sets ... high reps.
so you train your arms with higher volume than your legs?

Great legs don't need squats. Just genetic shape, diet and proper stimulus through intelligent training. I started training my legs again after a 7 year hiatus. I will not do a single squat nor heavy presses etc. Just unilateral movements with light weights.
-
Proof you dont have to squat ;)
great polio leg

Now there is a true legdon, mass and cuts and not cuts on poliolegs
nice njflex

There is NOTHING better than squats (free) for building mass. Are you kidding??
-

Yes because squats trigger growth hormone production. ::)
I have just explained my reasons why squats are inferior, now you explain why they are not rather than just dismissing my points.

What took you so long. ? I was gonna rass ya.... but decided to wait!

Yes because squats trigger growth hormone production. ::)
I have just explained my reasons why squats are inferior, now you explain why they are not rather than just dismissing my points.
The low back? That's just apart of it. Low back Is considered part of your as a whole. It helps to stabilize the weight. Squats recruit more motor units than just about another exercise in the selection. Load factors along with higher volume means greater growth. Deep squats promote recruitment of the glutes and hamstrings. Free squats also promote better growth because it doesn't isolate like a machine.

Everyone in this thread should be proud. Even Goodrum.
Groink made a good point.....he doesn't like the quads of nowadays where they are tear drop fucking huge....he prefers the classic lines of the Arnold era. I personally do as well. I think that looks better than these Big Ramy/Branch type quads.
-
Why are all the pics from the front? I wanna see leg shots from all around.
Any guy can have big quads, but legs are only a wow if the hamstrings and most importantly calves are also in tact.
It's like a guy with biceps but no triceps...with a chest, but no back. >:(

1 more...with a pretty face, but no brain LOL

Thats a good explanation of the alledged benefits of squats, however the weakest link in a squat is the lower back, Simon is at least right on that point, so your best squat is always dependant on your lower back.
So to summarise the squat isnt going to stress the leg muscles as much as a leg press as your legs bear the brunt of the exercise not the weak link lower back and that then surely leads to better stimulus of the legs.
Squats are great for overall body strength as a core stabilty exercise but not ideal for building legs.
-
Simple Simon explained it the best. I agree 100% .. squats are FAR from the best exercise. The best exercise to isolate all the vastus is leg extensions done unulaterally. Try it. It ain't powerlifting, it's a smart man's game ..not a strong man's game

the "weird shape" is called musclemass ;)
If you had some mass on your legs they would look somewhat like his to =)

There is NOTHING better than squats (free) for building mass. Are you kidding??
Quads and glutes. For every inch i gain in my quads i put 2-3 around my glutes.

Why would you want to isolate if you can train them all at once?
Squats are very good for building quadriceps mass, BUT there is a point in Simple Simons reasoning.
It all comes down to biomechanics.
If you have short femurs, relatively long torso, you will squat quad dominant and yes squatting will be one of the best exercises for legs.
However, if you have a short torso, long legs, you will be a glute dominant lifter. Your lower back and glutes will do most of the work while doing squats. For these people there are better exercises than squats to build the legs (purely from a bb standpoint).

The quadriceps straightens the leg and the leg bicep bends it.
So for full development the muscle has to contract and expand under pressure, a leg extension does this, the muscle has no idea what exercise you are doing it only knows stress.
-
Squats are not the best exercise for stressing the legs and inducing muscle growth.
Think about it, how much weight can you push in a leg press compared to a squat?
What lets you down on the squat?
Its the low back, you can only squat as much as your lower back can take, not the legs.
Take the low back out of the equation and you can increase stress on the quads and hams.
That is all.
what about hacks?

less stress on the lower back is always a good thing.

I have tried everything and my genetics for lower half are stellar from a bb standpoint. I was patient enough to try over a length of time throughout 25 years in the gym everything under the sun. No need to squat. If you want to, go ahead. I am more into mind muscle connection and learning to isolate the muscle properly in order to stimulate it. The rest is food and anabolics given a decent genetic shape.

every time i try and build squats in i get injured
my lower back is totally fucked from heavy squatting
leg press for the win

Yep, have squatted about three times in the last 27 years, each time got injured.

how bout you and i do a contest for best physique and the loser deletes his account and never comes back?

its like comparing a ferrari to a push bike
come back when you put on about 100lbs more muscle skeletor :-*

Same.
I do lunges and bulgarian split squats with a DB now...works just as good. That's it for quads on one of my twice monthly quad workouts.
Also, I can front squat with almost no tension on the back, but that's probably just how I'm put together. So I do front squats once per month too on the other day.
I train hamstrings like a demon though...2x/week. Your hammies can never be too big, or too strong, in my opinion. Strong hammies relieve a lot of tension from the lower back and knees (both of mine are worse for wear). And I think they look neat.
I'm too cowardly to post a pic, so this is my only contribution to a thread where real people post. ;D

stop it.
good advice
this is challenge number 5631 he has issues on here
he wont even post pics

Compared to yours, yes, they are stellar .. I won the genetic lottery for lower half while you are another average gym rat who placed 5th in a local contest 19 years ago.. nuff said ;)

That's envy my friend.
But i don't blame you. It's a very awkward and un-natural exercise for some peoples biomechanics. Same as bent rows.
Forcing it would only cause injury.

I've squatted 500 for reps. I have no back issues. I'm strong as an ox. The only thing I ever got out of squats was a. Huge ass.
I did the "hardcore" tthing...wraps..chalk..w aking up paralyzed.
Then I kept learning and stopped beating the shit out of my body
-
sounds like you did low bar parallel type squats
those are all hips and back
even loui simmons said
"lifters with the most impressive muscle development close to the knees are the worst squatters"
now if you turn this around and take it from a powerlifting mindset to a bodybuiling mindset it makes perfect sense
high bar squats really upright as possible up and down makes for best development around the knees but allows for less weigt
low bar squats recruit the stronger muscles in the body, the back, hips ass etc, allows for great weights and horrid physique
TRUST ME I AM A BODYBUILDING ANALYST I KNOW A THING OR TWO
Bar was always mid trap.
I know about all that shit too

You were not kiding when you said hardcore... Must have been quite scary.
Did your wife still alowed you to keep working out after that? ;D
-
sure but as you pointed out yourself you were using ass and back
not much chance anyone on getbig can squat 500 for reps in an upright fashion
good luck staying upright with any amount of weight on your back, kind of why they invented the hack squat machine
-
If you have no structural damage but have a bad lower back from squatting, there's a flaw in your mechanics or you just flat out can't squat. I've said this a thousand times....not everyone is built to squat.

You are obviously jealous of his massive wheels. ::)

and this word Don means what exactly?
-
Quads and glutes. For every inch i gain in my quads i put 2-3 around my glutes.
This is to insure your pants don't sag out in the butt when they fit your quads, don't you know?
-
same here .. when I squatted heavy I developed quite the ass ;D
Which is why I like squats. Women like men with some butt muscles.
-
the gypsy's most impressive trait is the size of his noggin
HE'S QUITE WITTY CAPT PICARD..

When done correctly, squats are a full body exercise. You don't have to lift massive amounts of weight to gain the benefits of squats. In fact, form is the key to success and should be your goal rather than moving tons of weight.
-
