Im a noob, and I was just wondering, why do people train legs(like all the squats and deadlifts and hamstring and quad and calve exercises)? Because I am thinking of not training them because I am not particularly looking to build my legs??(I am not playing a sport competitively)…
also one more question, how long is a good workout for a full body workout?(assuming I go 3 times a week). Is 35-40 minutes too short?(this time is not including abs, which i do at home)
i am not really into my the aesthetics of my quadriceps either, but i still make sure to do squats because it is a huge muscle and a little improvement there should go a long way. squats also stimulate the calves well and that is one of the first things i look for on a bodybuilder
don’t forget legs ARE important to girls, and your ass does matter… so even if you aren’t going to compete in a sport or be a bodybuilder or _______, it’s important.
This ain’t so surprising to me, I actually did the same as a beginner and lots of kids and “vets” at my gym are sporting the lightbulb frame… I actually didn’t train my legs for the first 3 months or so… (to my own defense, I always had huge fucking legs anyway) but If I could go back, I’d back-slap myself and get under the squat rack.
Just so you know, working your legs will actually make you stronger everywhere.
Erm, between your glutes (your ass) and quads (front of leg) you have 2/3 biggest muscles in your body… and you wonder WHY you should squat etc etc…
As said for 1 inch on your arms you need alot of mass on your frame… benching and curling just wont do it.
