Leg Training: A MUST DO.

A while ago while I was literally blasting the crap out of my legs, some guy walks up to me and asked why do I train legs and why so heavy?

Before I answered his stupid question, I took a glance at his legs and could not help but notice this guy needed serious help. No wonder he`s making  dumb-ass questions like that.

So, before I answered, I asked him what was it that he wanted to achieve by working out? What was his goal?

Nobody would believe me, but he actually wants to be a freakin bodybuilder. So this is the part where I explode.

So I asked him,"You wanna be a bodybuilder, but you don`t work on your legs?" WTF!

Dude! You CANNOT get on a stage looking like Tweety. Looking like some greek mithology freak like half cow half chicken. Simply put, you gotta have some wheels if you wanna bodybuild.

I`m retired from competition, but I still work with the same intensity, every body part there is to be worked on.

So he says, "I hate squats. I`m lazy when it comes to leg workouts". So I said, "Forget about bodybuilding then, cause you`re not gonna win any show with those legs."

Where in the world do these guys come from? Do they EVER read a bodybuilding mag? Have they ever SEEN a bodybuilding contest?

A bodybuilder with no legs is like having rice without beans. It`s like the cake with no icing. It`s insane.

So, I finally answered his stupid question, and told him that even though I`m retired from the stage, I still hit it heavy and hard because simply put, I do not want to look like him.

After our brief conversation, he was like stunned by what I responded. The next day, I walked into the gym and to my surprise, there he was, waiting for me, to get some advice and to start a leg routine. 

Sometimes you just gotta be harsh to get the message through, and motivate someone to work for what they want.

The plain truth.

Cross Training

Cross training helps improve fitness without overtaxing the muscles used in your primary sport.

Cross training also helps keep your workouts fresh and interesting. Find exercises you enjoy; otherwise you'll dread your workout instead of looking foward to it.

For cardiovascular fitness, try running, swimming, cycling, rowing, stair climbing, rope jumping, skating, skiing or court sports such as basketball.

Strength training could include calisthenics, free weights, or machines.

Flexibility exercises include stretching or yoga; while speed and balance drills, circuit training, sprinting, and plyometrics offer skill conditioning.
