Bad for not wanting to lift legs?

[xxbignipperxx]

Ok well I train my legs about once a week. The problem is I have a big ass genetically and I'm already having a hard time fitting into jeans. I really don't want my glutes to get any bigger. And now that I'm on swole...I really can't fit into shit. I have jumped from a 33" to a 36". Anyone else have this same problem? How do you train legs for strength while not gaining too much size?

I switched over this cycle from shooting my sust in the glutes to the shoulders and that has helped alot with the localized swelling.

well when i squat i tend to stay 12-15 reps with perfect form...nothing over 350 for me which is very very light....i dont mind having tree trunks for legs though....gotta do em bro

Tree trunks and a big ass and I look like an duck from the side. I want to slim everything down from the waist down. I have a big chest proportionate to my arms so it makes me look kinda funny from the side...

Are you sure it isn't your bodyfat that has gotten bigger?

No respect for those who don't lift legs.............just my feeling.

I have the same 'problem' with my legs in regards to the size they are in comparison to the rest of me. I have a 29 inch waist but have to buy pants in up to a 34 to get them to fit my legs. I find that high intensity cardio slims them down a bit. BUT don't stop lifting legs! Since I really started paying attention to my leg training my upper body made a huge jump in size and my back and shoulder thickness has increased quite a bit. I just stick with 12 to 15 reps and do compound movements.

No not the bodyfat...the bloat is getting bigger. And even when I am off the sauce I would like my ass to get smaller.

lol...I am going to advise you to do somehting I would normally NEVER advise anyone to do...Get out of the squat rack for awhile...You could try doing more isolation movements, curls, extensions, etc...but dont expect great growth from those alone (and note: This is NOT something I myself would do...) but I am trying to remedy your particular "problem"...

It may help this, but maybe not...I don't think I would try it though (and I have a big ass...especially for a guy with a meager 28" waist )

Most people who say they have big asses have underdeveloped hamstrings, so it makes their ass look a lot bigger.

Debasser got it RIGHT ON!!

Very good observation, yet so true.
