WHY LEGS?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Legs form the foundation of the upper body. No matter how much mass you gain it is ultimately the legs that have to support the burden of upper body. If your legs are not comparably strong enough then they will face tremendous stress from the upper body and may lead to severe pain while walking or even standing. Sometimes it may also lead to abnormal deformation of legs. So make sure your legs workout is the most intense. Infact it is the toughest workout. Moreover it enhances creatine production in the body which people take externally through supplements. For men it is advised that they use maximum weight while working out legs.
