Title: Legs and Diet
Post by: Never1AShow on June 05, 2015, 05:58:46 PM
I have pretty good legs even w/o training them much so I mostly just focus on upper body.  I can put muscle on my legs pretty easily but have been there and done that and really don't care much about them being big.  But I do care about looking lean and burning calories.  Recently it hit me that If I care about being lean I should try to add muscle anywhere as easily as I can.  The metabolically active muscle will mean I am burning more calories maintaining.

If you can readily add muscle anywhere do it because it makes it easier to stay lean.

No, I was pointing out that for several years I have given up easy calorie burning muscle unnecessarily and encourage others not to make the same mistake.  Plus I thought it was funny I had never thought of it before.

The leaner you get the better every body part is going to look within reason. Check out the 90s guys compared to today. No way near as heavy, but aesthetically better.
