No legs=not a bodybuilder
« on: October 21, 2014, 08:50:38 AM »
Powerful quads, thick hamstrings and big strong calves are what defines a bodybuilder. Nobody wants a guy with scrawny legs around. It doesn't matter how many curls and pec-deck you do. If you have no legs you are NOT a bodybuilder.

Unfortunately the board shorts wearing male beauty pageant contestant goofballs in the physique division might disagree.

I'm going to be competing in mens physique in 6 weeks because I'm not big enough for bodybuilding  :(
I train legs 2ce a week and its my favorite training day, but they just don't seem to respond. I've tried training them 1ce a week, every other day, at one point i trained them every single day but that only lasted 2 weeks until my knees started to hurt. No response though  :(
I'm hoping mens physique will stop wearing those goofy shorts and go to something like what the WBFF does and give the competitors some legit bodybuilding poses to do, instead of that hand on hip crap.

Half of this board will disagree, claiming "girls" don't care about legs and huge legs are not practical. Yeah, huge arms and chest are practical as fuck.

There is truth to what you say.  Chicks seem to focus on shoulders and chest.

345lbs  :'(
But that was about half a year ago, I never do 1 rep max, only tried it once.
I usually stick to 10 - 20 reps (depending if I'm dieting or not) with 225lbs. and then i'll go up to 315lbs and do 5 or 6 reps of that, then back down to 275, 245, 225, 135.
I seem to do better with higher reps, but I keep that 315 5 - 6 rep set in there just in case  :P

stiff legged deadlifts  5 sets 15 reps
leg curls 5 sets 15 reps

Does anyone actually believe that women really care about ripped-to-the bone, humongous quads? lol. Only people on a bodybuilding forum would believe that lol. Ridiculous.

Yep, completely ridiculous.  Most women don't want a man with chicken legs, but not necessarily "big legs" either. 

I think it again comes back to the infamous swimmer's build for most women.

If a guy has a good upper body, and he reveals his legs to his women for the first time and they are skinny, I doubt she is going to throw her arms up in the air and say, "you have chicken legs. i am dumping you."

As long as her man looks good in a shirt so she can brag to her friends about her boyfriends body. Thats all that matters.

this is what women want; tall lean toned handsome face and preferably a fat wallet. Requires just a bit of training and luck in the genetics department.

Woman aren't too concerned about legs but you should have a thick (as a cock) ass.

Nah, I want to try out the OPA (Ontario Physique Association) and see how I stack up. Maybe it will change in the future, but for now I have my eyes set on the OPA.
Plus, my shitty legs need to be hidden for me to do well anyway  ;D
