I’m new here, so forgive me if similiar questions have been brought up before.
I’m a basketball player with very skinny legs, and I want to change this. I can’t seem to do it because of all of the running, no matter how hard and heavy I lift. My question is: if I begin taking steriods and lifting very heavy legs 2-3 week, can I put some serious muscle on? I’m playing 2-5 hours/day of ball.
I’m sick and tired of skinny legs. My upper body is great, but my body is not proportionate at all. I NEED some big legs!
Please help.
Whilst other more experienced members will give you a better reply…
…I’d say 1)Your nutrition is not up to par and/or 2) Your leg workouts are lacking somewhere.
I’d say first make sure your nutrition is in order, and thus by keeping a food log, following a “bulking” diet, such as Massive Eating (and make sure you add in your calorie expenditure due to sports into the equation)
Then, do read the articles around here. CW wrote an article called “The skinny legs syndrome” and CT wrote “Pillars of Strength” Give them a go.
Of course steroids will make you grow bigger legs faster (if and only if everything else is in place)… but to use steroids simply because you have skinny legs?? Doesn’t sound right to me.
im not much good with steroid info but building legs seeing as i am rugby player has kinda been my thing since i was 15
Get your diet right man u need 10% over what ever calories you are burning in a day (BMR plus activity) made in percentages 50%(carbs), 33%(protein) and 16%(fats). So say you were burning 3000cals a day that would mean 1500cals/ 375g of carbs, 1000cals from protein (250g) and then 500cals from fats 62.5g. Split this over 5 or six meals and your sorted (but get the amount of cals your burning first 3000 is justa n example). Howver everyone here will give you a different nutrtition % patturn.
Then You have to squat dude, then do exercises that will makes the muscles stronger that make your quat weeker.
It will be your posterior chain (hams, glutes lower back) that is week (it is on almost everyone.
I squat twice a week on a 2 week cycle
ses1 4 x 9reps
ses2 5 x 7 reps
ses3 7 x 5 reps
ses4 9 x 3 reps
then in week 3 back to the 4 x 9 (it is my version of a smolov programme)
Then for the posterior chain do good mornings, hamstring curls and weighted hyer extensions.
Do calf raises and ab work to
