Rip would say to eat more and lift heavier weights. He wouldn't be wrong.0

Sorry to say that everyone can't have perfect bodies no matter how much they work out. After all the lifting and protein eating, if you aren't gaining in your legs, then you probably never will. I say you should just get used to your legs and learn to work with what you got. We all have imperfections that can't be fixed, luckily, you can cover yours up if you want to.

This is not from a person who is a cop out. This is because everyone is always looking for perfection when the truth is nobody is perfect. If we learn to live with the flaws we have, we wouldn't be so obsessive on the things we weren't born with. The OP is doing all these exercises for bigger legs, when most of us are trying to slim our legs. So what he has chicken legs. He can just wear pants, which most men do all the time anyway unless he lives in LA or Miami. Some people can't hide their imperfections as simply as you can with skinny legs, so they spend millions of dollars on cosmetic surgery trying to be perfect. All I'm saying is God gave some of us bodies where we don't have to work excessively to get and those that don't have them may never have them, even with all the exercise in the world. AND just because you put a lot of letters on your post behind your name does not make you are an expert on bodies and how they are shaped. Just sayin'0 -
There it is, the solution to all the world's problems. Just Wear Pants0

Hypertrophy is a process you CAN induce given the right parameters. That is a fact. Nobody has to settle for less than they desire. Your genetics can affect how long it takes to get to where you want, but reaching genetic potential is a journey of many, many years so I very much doubt at 25 he has no prospect of further muscle development.
And for what it's worth, I'm sure there's a looooot of people here who aren't trying to slim their legs at all.0 -

You're so edgy and cool, calling out the shallowness of other people like that.
There is nothing wrong with improving yourself or changing yourself to fit your own ideals. People lose weight to better their appearance and this guy wants to build up his legs to better his. Seems like a really simple concept.0 -

I'm just as much as an expert as anyone else on this site giving the OP advice. You have your opinion and I have mine. He can listen to a bunch of so-called experts tell him what he's not doing right to bulk up his legs or he can LET IT GO, it's JUST LEGS that won't bulk up, probably cuz they never will, especially since he's been doing all the exercise routines in the world and they still aren't the way he wants them to be.0 -

I always wonder about the mentality of a person who encourages other people to just give up because things are hard.
If my plans for bulking don't go well I'll be sure to find you so you can tell me that I tried, failed, and should just settle.0 -

This is some of the most horrible advice I've ever seen. Why are you even here? From your ticker, you're trying to lose weight. Why aren't you just happy with being fat? You'll probably never lose the weight, and if you do you'll probably fail at keeping it off. So why bother trying? You can always just wear maternity clothing to cover up your flab.

Yeah. Let's just settle and not go for our goals, because other people don't either. Well what "god gave" me can be improved, so I'm gonna do just that.
OP's goal is perfectly reachable. My opinion: moar food, change up your routine if what you're doing now doesn't cut it.0 -
I liked the part where the lady said that people get lip injections and stuff...I hope she was not implying leg injections or calf implants, right? I sure hope not.
I would probably sound real stoopid right now but as everyone in this thread has effectively been called stupid already by numbered list man, I've got nothing to lose. So in addition to my ignored Jumping idea I now have another superscientific ultra gymrat idea. What if the guy just focused on legs only for a few weeks while on his extra cals? Would that cause the inches he gains to go to his legs and not his arms. Just a wondering. In earnest. Don't shoot me. Ignore is fine but just don't hang me by my toenails I honestly think this might be an idea that might work. Lemme know.0 -
Google "Super Squats: How to Gain 30 Pounds of Muscle in 6 Weeks." There are a few websites that explain it. It's old school bodybuilding - lots of dead lifts, squats, lunges and milk.0

There it is, the solution to all the world's problems. Just Wear Pants
Sorry got nothing to contribute as others have a much stronger grasp of lifting than me.0 -
