shooting for the dirt, aren't you? 8 months is a hell of a long time. Spending four weeks focusing on weak area still gives you 26 weeks to focus on getting lean. His legs are grossly overpowered by his upper body, and that can be corrected. The high intensity cardio wouldn't start yet. However, front squats with the padded bent bar would. He's lifting TEN TO TWELVE hours a week right now. Keep that up and legs will just look more depleted than they already do come contest time.
If 8 months is a long time, and he can make that significant of gains in his legs in that time....................
.................
Why in the hell do you still look like shit after, what 2 years? Your clueless, I'm not saying he can't bring his legs up some, but not enough to match his upperbody.
I diet for 16 weeks, thats 4 months. And I am leaner than him when I start. So if he started dieting 4 months out, that only gives him 4 months before he starts dieting. How much fucking progress do you think a person can make in 4 months? Not much. Its obvious that Mikes legs are his weak point, and might always be, and now is not the time to try and fix that.
And, front squats, WTF!! If he wants his legs to grow, from all angles, not just the front, he needs to squat, squat, squat.
Get a clue, and make some gains yourself, before you suggest anything for someone getting ready for a show.
