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 .[/quote]
This is terrible bro science advice.
If you want to bring up your upper body, add either more frequency or volume to your upper body days.
I’d prioritize shoulders/traps and back width so you look “bigger” upper body wise a lot sooner than just adding more frequency/volume all over.

I was no fan of Bush, but damn nobody can duck shoes like he did! He even came up with a smile and later joked about the whole thing!
I hope rocket man is trolling. That is the worst “real” advice I have ever seen.

Yes i was thinking that. But want to actually know if anyone knows the science behind it? Or some big guys who dont train legs or havent in the past[/quote]
Not training legs will have absolutely no effect on how big your upper body gets. perfect example are the dudes who only train arms. We all know those guys. big arms, small everything else. Whatever you train, will get bigger, provided you eat enough and train the muscle group hard enough.
But to answer, no, you don’t have to train legs and it will not not hold back upper body mass gains. Im in the same boat. my legs, are 31 inches. and virtually never train my legs. my legs got bigger from just doing leg extensions, beleive it or not.
