I have trained countless guys that are small and want to get bigger but never workout legs. We have all seen the muscular men with big upper bodies and little legs. You do not want to be one of those men.
You will get results quicker throughout your whole body if you are training all of your muscles. Doing a leg workout routine will actually help your chest to grow. That is the key to success that you may be lacking.
If you have been consistently lifting weights for 2 or more years and you look about the same as when you started, I can guarantee you that you are not doing legs enough.
All of the muscles in the human body work together to function as one whole unit. You can’t expect the whole body to get bigger as a whole if you only work on half of it.
Leg workouts don’t have to take a long time and they will help you with your gait as well as other areas. It’s time you started training the whole body even if you only really want to see results in your upper body.
Women have the opposite problem, they train their legs all the time because they want them to look good. Men really don’t care how their thighs looks because they covered all the time. But if women would focus on their upper bodies as well, their legs would start looking the way they want them to.
So lets look at a quick leg workout routine you can do to start triggering muscle growth.
Squats are a great exercise but I would only do them once a week to prevent any knee problems.
Keep your feet a little wider than shoulder width apart and make sure you knees don’t go too far forward over your toes. When you turn your toes out, you work the inner part of the thighs more.
Another great leg workout is to get a medicine ball and stand about 1 to 2 feet away from a wall. Squat down and throw the ball up on the wall at about 11 feet as you stand up. Catch the ball while going down into another squat. You can do reps of 30 with these and they will burn like no other.
Remember if you want a bigger better chest, you have to hit legs. Sometimes it’s not your chest workout that has problems but other things you may not be doing.
