    Curious what your leg routine looks like?

    I have a similar build, but not even close to as power as you are, clearly. (Warming up 135lb squats, 3x6-8 @ 205 =() Being forced to be a runner through the Army's stupid fitness program, I was always too worried to lift legs, and not be able to hack the run the next day. Endurance for days, but I cannot squat weight to save my life.

    man i just focus on squats, thats 75% of my leg routine lol, i know i need to start focusing more on calves too... but i will start with squats and do 4 sets not counting warm up, then i will do some leg press and machines or lunges, but squats is what i feel gives me the most mass,power, and progress so far

    It isn't exactly the fact that you need to do "Legs" in order to build your upper body...
    It's the fact that exercises like Cleans/Deadlift/Squat work more then just your legs, they work your core as well which results in better gains.

    Solid built quads brah, I'm also guilty of ignoring calves especially when majority of leg workout revolves around squats. I rarely do calves on the same day as quads, definitely building size and definition there.

    You don't have to train legs to build your top half but it helps. A oly-weightlifter friend of mine explains it in the way that if you could imagine that weight stack on your back applies pressure to your entire body. I don't understand how you can lift and not work legs, legs always have been and always will be my priority. I suppose it depends on where your goals are.
    My physique is a by-product of strength training goals, not a goal for my strength training. Insta: @ironpowerfemme

    Unless you wanna look disproportionate and have weak azz chicken legs, then train your legs. No reason not to.

    It'd be easier for you to look up the exercise on google then it would be for me to explain it.

    Also, You will only **** up your back if you don't do them right.

    Are you saying you have back issues already or people are saying you will get them from squatting? Either way thats complete bullish!t, the only way you're gonna hurt yourself squatting is if you have poor form or a pre-existing injury. You can build great legs on squats alone.

    You shouldn't be lifting more then you can handle to begin with.
    If you can't hold good form.. Drop weight.
    You are the only one that can hurt yourself.

    There's lots of videos on squat form so just research it and you'll be more than fine. Just make sure you start with lighter weights to get the form down before you start progressing into heavy squats otherwise you can hurt your back. I never used to squat when I was younger, but ever since I've started its become one of my favourite lifts and does wonders for your leg development.

    Surely you're trolling...

    Pre-existing injury? yes you can damage your back when your squatting. Lifting very heavy will apply pressure to the lower back, this is why you get a weightlifting belt as it will take a bit of the pressure off your lower spine. You just need to make sure that you have your back locked in properly (remember to take nice big breath). Also don't squat with squishy sneakers, this will apply MORE pressure to your lower back and open up the possibility of injury. Invest in some proper weightlifting boots or if not lift in chucks.

    I forgot to mention these 'people' that you've been speaking with appear to be misinformed. I know a powerlifter who has been lifting for over 40 years, winning championships and making world records. He uses proper form and technique, straps and listens to his body. This guy is now in his 60's, not much taller than me, not much bigger in weight either. On a light squat day he does his 5 x 5 on 3 plates ... 40 years brah. These 'people' are also idiots.
