girly legs

[digimon7068]

I was wondering if any of the other brothers out there tended to neglect their underdeveloped legs like myself...I'm a tall guy 6'2" and have been cursed with puniest calves in the world..I'm 235 with 18.5 bicepts 50 chest and 14.5 calves....I find that I wear jeans,cargos,sweats opposed to shorts most of the time...hardley ever work legs...only use my quads for an injection site

Legs used to be my favorite body part to work. Just a couple of years ago my squat was over 500lbs. However, the last couple of years my knees have kind of fallen apart (from squatting???) and now they look like crap. My articular cartilage on the top bones and the back of my knee caps is worn off in several places. I recently had a knee scope to remove some damaged meniscus that was detached and impinging my knee joint and while they were in there they removed several bone spurs. It's been a few weeks now and it still hurts like a bitch.

My advice, if you do decide to light a fire under your legs, work into it slowly. Avoid the temptation to wrap your knees and squat ridiculous amounts of weight and avoid the temptation to try to take it all the way to the floor. I never wrapped my knees and I never wore a belt, except on my heaviest sets (over 400lbs) but I did go fairly deep and I think that helped speed up the degeneration process.

I really miss squats. It's difficult to build quality size overall without that exercise.

It is true...girls love the look of a nicely defined hamstring, good stuff.

Some people love to train legs and many hate to, but hell - if you're on the beach so much you better train 'em or you'll just sink in the f*ckin sand bro.

Here's some inspiration from a post I made about a year ago. Some have seen this already so my apologies. Former training partner emailed this to me a day or so before leg training. Take care.

Leg Day

I started to get edgy three days ago. It's like there's a giant clock
ticking in my head. It lasts right up until I enter the gym on reckoning
day. The ticking turns into a headsplitting air raid siren, and when that
happens people run for cover as my resentment builds. That something like a
million volts running through my veins. All I want to do is destroy the
weights. I don't train to become another athlete, I train to become "
Godsize ". Hardcore to me means being built to last. In the gym, I stay
focused, others call it Madness. I'm mean and nasty, it's an all out war and
I'm the underdog, and that's where I like it. No rest, no vacations, no pat
on the back until leg day is over. I might not win every show, but I will
bleed myself dry to dominate every battle in the gym. Every leg day that
goes by adds to my strength and development. I've been battered and beaten
but never ever fucking close to being broken. And I will remain un
breakable. This is my world, this is my sport, I been doing this to long to
let it beat me down. Welcome to my leg day, and I'm very glad to have you
with me during battle. Power be with You - name withheld.

You will find that NOT working your legs will hold back the rest of your body. Working legs, due to the large muscles mass, causes a potent systemic reaction that your whole body can benefit from.

HA HA! You think you are out of balance...You ought to try having 18.5 inch arms, a left calf at 19.5 , right calf at 14.5 , left quad at 26 and right quad at 24.5...

Now that is my legs....I neglegted them for years as you did and I am also tall (6'5"). I have trained them harder this year than I have all years combined. I have especially worked harder during my currnet cycle than ever. They are still super slow growing, but I gues that can be expected at the age of 39 and years of neglect!

The size difference comes from a broken leg that gave me trouble for about 8 years.
