**energizer bunny** · 03-02-2007, 05:37 AM

heres the deal, I weight train 5 days aweek at nighttime,
chest=monday
arms=tuesday
legs=wednesday
shoulders=thursday
back=friday
abs=tuesday and thursday

i also run 5 days aweek on the afternoon, i do lot of hill runs and my legs ache everyday. feels like a good weight workout.

SHOULD I
do what i used to on my legs? heavy workout.
Dont do legs anymore?
light workout on legs?
or anyother ideas.

Why would you consider stopping training legs, I consider them the most important muscle group.

Running and weight training are two totally different things. If you want to grow do legs, if you dont want to grow then dont !!!!

yea exactly! but dont be that ass at the gym whos HUGE up top and wears pants cuz he has twig legs....i know cuz i was almost that dude luckily my legs grow fairly descent so when i started hittin em again they came back but still its so queer lookin not to have legs to match. also if u reasearch it there is a lot of beneficial reasons to lift legs

The stronger you make your BASE (legs) the stronger your upper body will be able to become!!

do not skip legs !!!

If you don't train legs you'll fall all over the place like this

upper body too heavy for lower body...

lol i do this impression all the time around my juicebuddy that doesnt train legs and has an enormous upper body. It looks so odd.

the only reason i would even consider stoping mate is because of how much of a workout my legs get during my runs. Up hill all the time awsome for my legs.

Ok thanks guys, Legs will be done, maybe have to go easier tho!

I know from experience that running long distances will make your legs sore, but it won't build strength to any significant degree. It's just pure cardio.

You wouldn't want to put bicycle tires on a Ferrari, would you?

Drop the arm day and add a leg day

**heavylifter99** · 03-13-2007, 11:04 PM

yes, you will need to train your legs, I would consider moving your leg day up by a couple of days and running maybe 4 days out the week. However i wouldn't run to great extreme on leg day and maybe the day after as well. good luck.
