Hard Work Seems to Not Matter In the End

[Perseverance1]

I agree with this. Although, By about the beginning of 2nd year I knew how to train for my body. The 3rd year was more so, what can I do to shock it a little more. So now weve established if diet is perfect. And proper training is aquired through experience this is the only purpose of base? As in i could have juiced last year. I always felt there was more of a reason to hit near genetic limit first. But I suppose thats only to "maximize" total gains Ie a pro career?



I dunno maybe your right but. I started out at 152lbs at 12%. Then I cut for boxing to about 140lbs and I was like an aushwitz survivor. I then got to 182lbs and was able to see shoulder striations. The following year I got to 190lbs in 2 years at 10% and take in mind I do not train legs so there is alot of extra weight I could gain there. This year I figured if I cut down to around 10-12% id be near 200lbs. Your probably right though, i dont cut to contest weight

You don't train legs? Wtf is wrong with you? I don't even know what to say........

I train for looks and because I like it. Im not competing therefore there is no rulebook dictating how i have to train.

I have naturally big legs. Within 1.5 months of training on a cut, i decided to do legs. My squats went from 185lbs ATG to 375lbs ATG. My quads got very big, and even my 36 width dress pants started looking tight and ridiculous. I dont want tree trunk legs of peace.

And inb4 I hear legs help everything else grow. This is a myth. I grow more when I can get away with more and tax my cns and energy levels less. I can do this by more upper body emphasis and no legs

I have tried just squats and sldl for funcionalitys sake but even those 2 cause my legs to grow fast

I train for looks and because I like it. Im not competing therefore there is no rulebook dictating how i have to train. Absolutely correct. Just the sudden revelation of no leg training flies in the face of the entire rest of the thread

My quads got very big, and even my 36 width dress pants started looking tight and ridiculous. I dont want tree trunk legs of peace. Yet you seem to want a big upper body. Is balance important or are your legs (and calves) in really good shape naturally

And inb4 I hear legs help everything else grow. This is a myth. I grow more when I can get away with more and tax my cns and energy levels less. I can do this by more upper body emphasis and no legs. Your misinformed. Intense exercise that tax the entire body does in fact release more GH. Just google it or read one of the many studies on Pubmed.

Now, before everyone else asks, post a pic of these bad boys.

I'm really not trying to jump on you here but you just don't seem to be making sense, IMO.
