Not even close to the same thing. Hitting the upper body more frequently = you get the same stimulus you’re getting on legs already, and getting a GREATER stimulus on the upper body. Hitting legs less frequently = less leg stimulus than you’re getting now, same upper body stimulus that you’re getting now.

If you don’t consider deadlifting leg training, that is intriguing. But if you’re going to at least continue to deadlift, then that’s good. If you keep a tight upper back on squats (kind of necessary to actually get strong on them), upper body should be much more involved.

Your a fucking retard mate. Its not that my upper body is big and legs are bigger. My upper body is smallish and legs are bigger. Which means im not claiming i have huge legs. You fucking moron. Your probably that other guys boyfriend whos spotting him. You stick up for your man![/quote]
Looks like the other sister is standing up for herself. LOL. I’m 17 and I probably have better legs than you.

Are you retarded? Seriously? I am being dead serious, do you have mental issues?
I know you cannot go over 3plats on squats so It may be hard to fathom the necessity of having a spotter, but the fact that you troll so hard that you have to turn to gayness because you are realizing how small your legs are is sad.
And then right before the accusation you ask me for a picture of my legs? I feel bad for your mother, who was probably a hooker.
Stop trying to post advice on this forum, you are small as fuck. You and trap builder can go have troll babies.
Seriously, just disregard the advice that every single other poster has posted in this thread. They’re all a bunch of HATERS. You keep referring to your legs as being “decently big,” but dude. Stop being modest. You’ve reached the pinnacle, and should pat yourself on the back.
Hell, I can’t even imagine having a dick with legs that big - must be painful to walk around. LOL!
If your upper body is even in the same stratosphere as your legs then you can probably relax on that a little bit. I know Muay Thai makes you more elite than most of the other population (basically a scientific fact, IIRC,) so you probably have a really hardcore mentality when you’re training and are much further along than you think you are. Bigorexia, am I right?!
Either way, stop doing legs. I’d cut back on cardio to help ensure that they don’t get any bigger, too. Obviously your legs just naturally respond with sick growth no matter what kind of activity you’re doing. Christ Almighty, save us all if you decide to enter a BB’ing tournament because you got some serious potential kid.

And be honest with yourself. You only came here to brag about your legs (which are average), so you need to work on being realistic with yourself before posting here and wasting everyone’s time.
If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
OP, what do you think avoiding leg training is going to do for your upper body? what happens if you stop training legs, they atrophy, then your upper body catches up and surpasses your legs. are you going to stop training upper body to bring up your chicken legs… youre just going to go around in circles.
You say your upper body is lagging behind your legs. Your legs are naturally your best bodypart. Training legs takes lots of energy away from energy that could be going to help your upper body grow. My advice is to lay off legs for a while and concentrate on the upper body. Do no direct work for your legs at all. That means stop squats, leg presses, leg curls, leg ext. deadlifts. You will be working your legs in certain exercises just because they are the link to the floor…standing overhead presses, standing curls, bent over rows, t bar rows …you get the idea right?
You will not loose any size in your legs and u will gain in the upper body faster this way…It is priority training!! I am assuming you just want to improve your physique balance. After u get in balance u can train ur legs again if you want. As training legs is great for conditioning but is energy draining when your upper body is a priority!
The reason most agree that leg training helps the upper body to grow is only because squats (also deadlifts) utilize the upper body, you use your spinal errectors, abdominals, obliques, upper back , lats , shoulders . This is why squats make someone much stronger overall than the guy who just does leg presses… there is no magic stimulus that says training legs makes the upper body grow.
It is Squats/deadlifts that do that. If you only did leg press,leg ext, leg curls…no upper body growth at all, unless of course the isometric contraction when you squeeze the handles provides some stimulation. Does this make sense to you?
But in your case…doing direct exercises for your upper body is going to give you the look u want. Make sure u get lots of blood into the muscles via high volume , medium wts primarily .
