After reading this, you will know
The problem with most of the men in our country is that we only focus on building our torso and upper body. I had the same problem as well. Every day is an arms day. And I don't even remember, for how long I had been skipping the legs day.
I asked a few men on why they skip training legs, and the answer baffled me. "We can disguise our untrained legs by wearing loose or fitted jeans." So why train them when we can easily hide And its the reverse for the upper body. I mean, how many times you have heard the term "bottomless," but you would listen to "topless." As much as men want to hide their lower bodies, so much more is they wish to reveal their upper body, hoping that a well-built torso might fetch them some brownie points with the So we work more on building the upper body to impress either the women or prove a point to ourselves by developing our six-pack abs. Some people also call it body transformation. If you notice such transformations, you would also see people losing body fat and flaunting their upper bodies.
Seldom you would see anyone showing their lower body, and we are not talking about pro bodybuilders here.

So legs, will anyways be ignored from our training schedule. And this ignorance makes our body unsymmetrical. Where our upper body dominates, highlighting the weakness of our lower body.
Leg 🦵🏿 Here are his five tips for growing your legs.
1
Pre work out carb loading
Eating carbs as a pre work out before your meals, will do wonders to your leg training session. Remember, legs are our body's most prominent body part, and when you train them, you burn a lot of calories. Not eating enough, especially not having enough carbs in the diet, can hurt your leg training output.
Sumit before his legs training, takes a big car loaded meal which includes sweet potato and rice. Eating such complex carbs gives you sustained energy supply, which helps you last longer in the workout.
Always as a thumb rule, eat the right amount of carbs before your leg training session as a pre work out meal.

Warm-up legs with free squats
Usually, with minimal warm-up, we start our leg training. Our muscles need a proper warm-up stimulation before we try to get the best output from them. And the best warm-up exercise for legs, is free squats.
Sumit recommends that one should do a minimum of 100-200 free squats before starting the legs workout. Not only it's a proper warm-up, but free squats also help you with volume and size.
Free squats was one of the main exercises for all old school bodybuilders who have a good pair of legs.

Train heavy with low repetitions
If your goal is to pack on the size and volume on your legs, then try doing lower repetitions with heavier weights. If you can perform 8-10 repetitions with particular weights, that's lightweight for you.
The definition of heavyweight- Any weight if you cant perform more than 4-5 repetitions is your ideal weight range and can be considered relatively heavy. And that's the weight you need to load to grow your legs.
Extra tip - Try one 1MR in your squat viz, pick the most massive weight as per your ability, and perform only one rep. 1MR will give you the power you need to push your legs to the next level.
4
Stretching after work out
The right sign of a great leg work out is your inability to walk back home. Your legs hurt, and you can barely walk. You can avoid this soreness, with a fifteen minutes post legs training, stretching session.
This stretching will open up your legs and prevent muscle soreness so you could not only walk back home but also in a position to train the following day.

Post work out carb loading
As mentioned earlier, legs are our most significant body part, and they need good post work out nutrition for recovery. Just like you added carbs before you trained your legs, now its time for you to add some more carbs as part of post work out nutrition.
Training legs burn the maximum amount of calories, and we quickly need to replenish these calories, for our body to recover from the training onslaught.
That is why a good carb meal post work out is an absolute must. Sumit eats the same in his post work out nutrition what he does in his pre work out meals.
