    How many times/week do you train legs?

    I have a new found love for training my legs. I just wrapped up a great cycle, and love the results I see...especially in my legs. I am like 6'3, so my legs naturally look skinny.

    My question is this:
    Is it ok to train legs more than once per week?
    What are your thoughts on this?

    As always, thanks to everyone!!!

    I would just train them once per week with intense work-outs. Remember over-training is no good

    look at the sticky up top called "SwoleSquats", if you do this routine for the first time and you arent sore, your name is Clark Kent...

    once a week is enough...

    Once a week like everything else.

    I lift first for about 45 mins (squats, leg press, lunges, ham curl, leg ext, and calf) then i play soccer for about 1 hour.

    My legs are sore for about 4 days after this.

    thats probably some pretty extensive over training (or undertraining depending on how you look at it), hell i can't even walk after a leg workout...

    1 time per week for me.

    If you chop the trees down too early, they never get to grow.

    Ya gotta feed/water them and get them in the sun relaxing.

    yeah...what i don't like is for the entire day after a leg workout, i have NO ENERGY for sex....zero! And i can't have any earlier in the day as that would ruin my workout......so leg days are 100% of the time sexless for me......

    By the way, I like the analogy there Swole Cat...Thanks!

    Speaking for myself. My legs were biggest when I cycled over 30 miles per day and trained heavy 1X week.
