    Hey mate i was just looking over your workouts and was just wondering how you have such awesome legs for someone not lifting very heavy?

    all my leg lifts are all 110kg plus and my legs look like ****.

    got any hot tips for me?

    cheers buddy

    i would imagine its because he does high volume work for hypertrophy and you do lower volume work for strength. I also believe Zero used to be quite big, so he'll have bigger legs from carrying that excess weight all his life

    I know this feel. Although my quads are slightly lacking i am pretty happy with my fat man calves.

    i have been thinking the same thing, but i have noticed something which is bad but apparantly did something. i always go to low on my squats, so my knee will be bad hence why i have been working on the form.

    also when i did that pose it was first thing in the morning, my legs were already messed up from the day before and i just tensed really really hard lol. almost got cramp.... i dont think il get a repeat of this anytime soon to be honest although i am curious to know what it will look like with lower bf% im guessing thats around 12% their.

    if anyones interest here are my actual stats:

    187.8kg weight, 187cm height, just shy of 6ft, 42-43'' chest, 35'' waist, 39'' around the widest point of my hips, bicep L 14'' R 14.4 but considerable fuller, thigh L 24'' R 24.6''

    Todays Training: walked 1.5 miles

    ^^ that!!!

    also, nice work incorporating all the walking - i'm always impressed with the extra calorie burn i get every weekend just from walking around all day instead of sitting at a desk for 7+ hours (easy to track this since i wear a Bodymedia and it tells me my steps and calories burnt).

    very interesting. LOL at the thigh cramps! I wouldn't say the volume of leg work is "that" high though.

    I did 18 reps at 82.5% (152.5kg) on Monday as part of a strength program. Warm up sets is a total of 40 reps from 50kg to 145kg.

    Do you do any cycling zero2hero?

    random question,sitting my legs are full at first my girlfriend thought i was tensing them untill i said thats normal, this is normal right?
