The single most unsettling thing I tend to see in the gym is guys who focus completely on their upper body, and neglect their legs. Seriously guys, do you really want to look like Popeye? Personally I would prefer to be stacked evenly throughout my entire body. Now depending on your workout schedule, working a thorough leg routine in is just as easy as in other area of the body. For those of you who haven’t really put much emphasis on your legs I recommend you begin with focus on the three main muscles in your legs, quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. Below is a 3 day routine that will turn your legs into tree trunks.
