I read an interview online about his training split and diet.
He said his diet followed a book called Eat To Win. I guess it was a popular nutrition book in the early 80's. I looked it up online and it was a moderate protein, high carb, low fat guide IIRC.
King detailed his leg training and said in addition to extensions and curls and calves he did front squats, vertical leg press and hack squats.
I followed it and it's really the only time in the past 10 or 15 years that was able to add any size to my legs. After 40 legs just don't grow. But this routine worked better than any other I have used.

So true. Tom with his jackass style of training and his new age -Johnathon Livingston seagul- philosophy bullshit. He's definitely a used car salesman.
-
Leg press in my gym doesn't allow to go that deep :'(.
-
Ridiculous calves on King.
Jeff always wore Converse sneakers...never saw him wear any other footwear........when he walked around the gym in contest condition,you could see tons of fibres firing in his calves.
I also saw him at 300 pounds long before anyone else ever got that big in the off-season to my knowledge anyway,and he carried it well.
Great guy,always nice/pleasant and would help out anyone,at anytime if he could just don`t bother him during a workout......hec was as serious as a heart attack in the middle of the night when he was training.

He`s never worked out a day in his life.........just a wannabe.... and the worst troll ever.

Lots of good stuff on that channel....I subbed quite a while ago.

Nice- looking gym. Gym culture is quite different these days, i.e. worse. Jeff clearly knew how to train. Note every squat was deep, extensions held in the peak contraction, etc. Videos from this era seem refreshingly free of supplement sponsorship and the hard-sell.

That gym isn`t in the USA.....he was guest posing somewhere when it was filmed in another country.

After 40 legs don't grow? You obviously aren't training legs hard enough.

JEFF KING'S OFF-SEASON LEG TRAINING
Thoroughly warm up before handling heavy weights. Before doing any heavy movements, I warm up with a couple sets of leg extensions and front squats.
Always take each movement through a full range of motion.
Do each movement in perfect form.
Do not forget to resist the movement on the way down for negative emphasis.
Rest no more than ninety seconds between sets. Keep moving to keep the intensity high.
Front Squats
3 sets of 8 reps
Duck Leg Press
4 sets of 8 reps
Hack Squats
3 sets of 8 reps
Leg Curls
4 sets of 10 reps
Standing Leg Curls
2 sets of 10 reps
Standing Calf Raise
3 to 4 sets of 15-20 reps
Calf Press
3 sets of 12-15 reps
JEFF KING'S POWERLIFTING SQUAT ROUTINE
The first few sets act as warm-up sets which prepare you for your final maximum sets. Sample weights are listed. Always attempt to surpass your previous record weights. Keep in mind that you'll be training at a slower pace than in your normal routine.
Back Squats
6 sets of 12/10/8/6/4/4 reps
135x12
185x12
225x10
315x8
405x6
495x4
495x4
Duck Leg Press
4 sets of 10/8/6/4 reps
400x10
500x8
600x6
700x4
Leg Curls
3 sets of 10 reps
straight sets, no need to pyramid these

Jeff King is a dwarf. He may look good when appearing alone in photographs, but stand him up next to a man of average height and King doesn't look impressive at all. He had the short stubby dwarf limbs that appeared muscular.

Bogus. Here is a video of Jeff King winning Mr A and at 9:47 he is being handed a trophy by former football star Ben Davidson who was 6'8". And no that is not a difference of 1 foot 2" lol If any one else knows the other competitors it would be very easy to get a height reference - I see Marty Vranicar in there.
