Just wondering what you guys think. Ive been told a few times, by a few different people now. over the last couple of years ive been told that if you train your legs hard it will help bring on your top half. I do deadlifts twice a week, once when i train my back and the other when i train my shoulders. Is there any truth in this or is it bull.I know that deadlifts are good because they work so many other areas ( back, traps, hams, quad). Let me know if im wrong in what im saying.Im a bit of a sh*t when it comes to training legs and tend to shy away some times, i know i shouldn't but i do a lot of heavy lifting and bending at work and after a legs session work kills me. Your great knowledge would be welcome.
P.s how many times a week should you do squats and deadlifts??

ppl make me laugh who come on saying they can't gain weight and it materialises they don't train legs (not intended for original poster) but my point is that I believe Ronnie C once gained a sh1tload of weight in the off seson and everyone was amazed how he'd put on like 30-40lbs of solid beef in one year....he said he'd just re-adjusted his leg training.

Legs are a must if you ever want to fulfill your potential, you at least need some shape in them, ppl with muscular upper bodies and no legs don't look good IMO.

Yeah know what you mean when you mention Mr O himself.
Ronnie C has huge legs, seen a couple of his DVDs.
The man is a unreal, no wonder he has won olympia as many times as he has.
Cheers for the reply Five-O.

There is no way on god's green earth that your upper body will grow to its full potential without some kinda hip/leg/back work.... i.e squats and deads.

I do however believe that if you ONLY did squats and deads your upper body would grow still.
