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.

Incredible legs - even more so in comparison to other bodybuilders at the time. Is that Ed Kawak on the far left?

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.

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.

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.
