Leg training it should be done
I often find every time I go to the gym that there isn’t a lot of people training their legs. Lots people say they don’t like training legs because of the intensity. I see lots of guys with big upper bodies and small legs, well done to them for the good upper body but I don’t understand why they want skinny legs with a large upper body. I decided to ask some of my mates do they train their legs?
The answer, “I run”
So I’m going to tell you why you should train your legs.
•Training your legs = more muscle, studies show that doing squats and deadlifts increase the release of testosterone more than any other exercise resulting in more muscle as testosterone is the bodies natural muscle building hormone.
•Also provide an upper body workout, squats and deadlifts work the whole body not just the legs. For example your abs work to stabilize, your chest muscles contact during a heavy deadlift.
•If you have an upper body injury you can prevent muscle loss in the upper body by doing squats and deadlifts.
•Increase overall strength. A stronger set of legs and a stronger core will increase strength in upper body lifts and help develop the upper body.
•Performing squats and deadlifts will help with mental stress, people don’t train their legs as it is very challenging, physically and mentally so performing such exercises will help with mental endurance and make you progress on your fitness journey.
Overall leg training = better all round health and bigger muscle and strength gains.
So get training those legs
