People who don't train legs actually need two balls to total body weight.

Something to consider.

Never trained legs apart from sprint intervals. Diet is terrible atm but isn't hurting that much, would probably be worse if training full body, it's definitely less requirement.

No need to specially train legs.

They carry my bodyweight all day.

Legs are my favorite thing to train actually even though mine aren't very big. I train them just as frequently/intensely as anything else but I also run a lot, hard to do that and keep a lot of bulk on the legs I think.

Well Galeniko is one of the best posters on here and has unparalled knowledge. I myself believe the legs are very important and it stands to reason that you need the correct amount of protein as legs are 50% of our body and are muscles that need heavy loads to tax them. I have trained legs today and all i can say is fucking Squat and after a heavy leg day i am always hungry..

legs are taxing and take few days to recover need to refuel plenty,carbs,protein but to a point,,i train legs very hard never miss,,,

Less carbs. Same protein if equal lean body mass, which they mostly won't have however.

i can safely say training my legs or not makes an overall difference, yes, even on uper body.

upper body doesnt get bigger necesarly from squats etc, but i get stronger, absolutely no question.

then again, ive seen ppl with tremendous upper body development,but no legs at all.

oh and training legs hard definitely lets me get away with bad diet habbits.

im bit worried, i injured my meniscus recently, and cant train them seriously no more.only curls, if that

train the muscle "Vastus medialus" teardrop. foot position on leg press(better for knee problems) wide foot stance and heels inwards. but i am sure you know that ..anyway best wishes and hope you get better.

There's this ugly dude who's always in my gym doing these fucking agility drills, like that thing football players do where you run back and forth along a zig-zag pattern real quick. He also takes a medicine ball and bounces it off the ground real hard, catches it, repeat, or chest-presses it as high as he can in the air, lets it hit the ground with a bang, catch it, repeat.

He's annoying as hell.

Marty Champions · « **Reply #19 on:** November 21, 2012, 02:55:33 PM »

galenko how is your confidence level do you feel people are noticing you?

dj181 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 21, 2012, 03:04:37 PM »

i been chatting with some girl, and i just found out that she can squat with 250 for a few reps and she only weighs about 120 pounds

i don't think that i could squat 250 for even 1 rep lol

tbombz · « **Reply #21 on:** November 21, 2012, 04:50:56 PM »

well if the formula for adequate protein intake is 1 gram per lb of lean bodyweight

then that formula is going to remain correct

what changes is the amount of lean body mass you use in finding the results of the formula

if you have undeveloped legs, your lean body mass will be considerably less than if you had well developed legs.

for example, if a dude has 200lbs of lean mass with all of his muscles, including legs, well developed. then his protein intake would be 200 grams. but if he stopped training legs for a year and maintained the rest of his lean body mass while experiencing a reduction in leg mass that amounted to a loss of 10lbs total lean body mass, then his total lean body mass would now be 190lbs and his total protein intake would now only be 190grams.

pretty simple, right?

uh.no.

if you already know the answer to a question, then why ask it?

since you seem to be interested in telling me i am wrong, why dont you go ahead and expand on why you think im wrong instead off just saying "uh.no."

jdooly · « **Reply #23 on:** November 22, 2012, 07:45:47 AM »

people who choose to not train legs aren't serious about training, so, no.
