Legs out of proportion: BIGGER than rest of muscle groups

[Plompoma]

My legs have always been much stronger than the rest of my upper body, probably genetics (my dad was #1 at his university in breast stroke). Since this is the case, is it OK if I take it easy on my legs while I train the rest of my body until everything about evens out? Right now my squat is about 235, while my bench is only 145 max. I know there is the whole "doing legs releases the most growth hormone to the rest of your body, it'll help your other gains), I just wanted to know whether doing squats perhaps 3x6-8 on my shoulder /tri day would be sufficient to keep my legs the way they are and still get the extra gains to the rest of my body. Thanks.

Pics of sed legs?

Keep trianing your legs as you already do.
More upper emphasis, add more sets for exercises. Or do upper/lower, doing upper twice and lower once. Do not neglect your legs.
Your legs will be stronger than your upper body. That's how it is. I'd be a bit worried if you could barbell row or bench more than you squat.

My heart bleeds for you OP, I just can't imagine how terrible it must be for you to have your legs stronger than your chest. You are a mutant freak, suicide is your only option I'm afraid.

your legs are proportionate. 235 squat 145 bench. thats good. if you want your bench to be as much as your squat, just leave.

Listen to this guy.

your lifts are proportional, let us not get ahead of ourselves with our "Huge legs".

Legs are the biggest muscles in the body, you will always squat more than you bench
