we've got one in the gym. Also got a cable preacher. when you do them Raikey do you prefer wide or close grip. Which do you think works best? i tend to use close grip to try and get that peek at the bottom of the bi.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: TRUE or FALSE working legs helps bring on your top half?? it is TRUE...it is an old adage that training in heavy compound exercises such as deadlifting and squatting are paramount to building large strong muscles!!!! if i'm correct,they used to say that sqauts were the grandaddy exercise of the gym!!!! look at all the top athletes in the game...they do the big movements...and your right,ronnie coleman is a beast...his training is pretty much un-rivalled...look at his leg training,what a sicko...i do believe that a lot of strength comes from his leg n deadlift training...they are overall movements if you like!!! i think deadlifts twice a week is too much...you cannot be going heavy enough....i know that i can manage heavy deadlifts once a week if not every fortnight due to soreness and just recovery really!!! legs again i would say the same...once a week here...if your training em hard enough,they'll be cool from once a week,but because there are so many muscles groups in the legs,you can touch them up every so often...but i guess if you havent got good genetics in your calf region then you can train these more than once a week!!!!

| aka Jimmy | Re: TRUE or FALSE working legs helps bring on your top half?? From time to time ill shy away from leg work, but the amazing thing is, with all the rest they get, they seem to grow better than anything else on me, obviously my legs respeond to little training tbh, not everyone is the same but it works for me, I do beleive rest and recovery plays a massive part in growing, some ppl just overkill with training IMO. Less is more IMO...BUT....intensity and poundages lifted are the most important factor in low volume approach.

| Mature Bodybuilder | Re: TRUE or FALSE working legs helps bring on your top half?? Deadlifts once a week, squats and lunges (4x25reps each exercise ) once a week.... Have seen too many people competing in shows with good upper body and no legs!

![]() | Re: TRUE or FALSE working legs helps bring on your top half?? I trained for the first 6 months doing only upper body (Used to race mountain bikes before so legs always looked OK), when I packed in the biking & introduced squats It felt like I'd doubled in size overnight. Believe what these guys are saying, leg work is the daddy! |
