Why hitting leg muscles so important?

leg muscles aren't really "FLASHY" right? So everyone would rather work on having a large chest, arms, and shoulders that everyone can notice. Sure, working your arms, shoulders, chest, back and so on is great. But while everyone is training their upper bodies hard, leg workouts are neglected, skipped, or are even non-existent in some lifter's routines. People come up with all sorts of reasons as to why they don't train their legs properly. Excuses such as "squats are bad for my knees" or "I work my legs by running, cycling etc" are just that, EXCUSES!!


The mistake of avoiding hard leg training is costly, and there are two main reasons as to why. If you have a large and muscular upper body, and under-developed legs, you would look quite ridiculous. Think about it, huge pecs, bulging biceps, line backer shoulders, and a wide muscular back, sitting on top of toothpick legs. LOOKING LIKE A TREE!


The second reason to train your legs as hard as all your other muscles is even more important, yet less commonly known amongst lifters. INCLUDING HARD AND HEAVY LEG WORKOUTS IN YOUR LIFTING ROUTINE WILL INCREASE THE SIZE AND STRENGTH OF MUSCLES ALL OVER YOUR BODY! Yes that's right, avoiding your legs will limit the amount of muscle you can build in your chest, back, shoulders and arms. Your muscles don't just grow from specific exercises you do for a particular muscle. For example, your biceps don't grow JUST from doing bicep related exercises such as bicep curls. Your body builds muscle on another level too. When many different muscle groups are worked simultaneously, putting the majority of your body under intense stress, muscle growth occurs all over the body.


How does your body do this? Because with this intense stress comes increased secretion of important muscle-building hormones such as TESTOSTERONE AND GROWTH HORMONE! These hormones play a big part in determining how much muscle mass someone can physically gain. And one of the best ways to increase the production of these hormones in your body is doing hard and heavy leg workouts week in and week out! The particular leg exercises I'm talking about are of course Squats, which is perhaps the most important muscle-building exercise out of all, the leg press, lunges, and deadlifts. Have you noticed how stressful these leg exercises seem to be when done heavy? That's because your legs contain the largest muscle groups on your entire body and allow you to train with very heavy weights. The good thing about a killer leg workout is your body will produce more critical ANABOLIC MUSCLE-BUILDING HORMONES than usual, which means greater size and strength overall. Yes, working your legs affects your arms, chest, shoulders, and back muscles. LEG WORKOUTS REALLY ARE A HIDDEN SECRET TO YOUR DREAM PHYSIQUE!!!!
