A few years ago, I used to skip leg day.
I would much prefer to train my upper body, because it’s the one part that most people can see, unless you’re living in a hot country and wear shorts all the time.
I remember thinking to myself, If I don’t train legs, I’ll look ridiculous with a huge upper body and tiny chicken legs.
The thought of going to the gym to do squats and leg presses made me want to skip them entirely or do basic leg curls and leg extensions. Anything to avoid, my legs feeling like jelly after doing squats for the first time.
I thought to myself, “why go through the hassle to train legs, they will take forever to grow!”.
I realised, it was just a limiting belief I had, and that I could build muscle on my legs the same as I did with my upper body.
Fast forward a few years later and I’m repping out 170 kg squats and lashing out leg presses like there’s no tomorrow.
It’s only when you start making progress and the results are clearly visable, that’s when you actually look forward to “Leg day” each week.
I know my legs aren’t as big as the huge bodybuilding types, but at least they can’t call me chicken legs anymore. 🙂
For me, squats are the best leg exercise that has major mass building effects when done properly.
Also, having a strong core makes a huge difference because it also targets your abs and obliques.
There are so many benefits of squats and I have already written a few articles on this topic. If you haven’t read them yet, here they are:
20 reasons why you should squat and how to do them correctly
10 Benefits of squats for women
Nowadays squats are a hugely popular exercise among men and women because it is the single most effective exercise that engages your glutes, quads, hamstrings and other muscles you probably never knew.

I have already written quite a good few posts on this topic, but this one is more of a picture and video tutorial to demonstrate the exercises.
It’s much better to train your entire core, unlike what most people do when they train abs, basic crunches sit-ups, ab machine…
I do mostly weighted ab exercises that involve dumbbells, weight plates and cable machines.
It doesn’t matter how many sets or reps you do when you train your core, you obviously need to have low body fat that’s why a clean diet and cardio is important.

Growing up, I was a always told, “If you want to get a six pack, you need to do a load of sit-ups and crunches”. What a load of crap!
That would never work for anybody, even with low body fat.
I used to look at guys with shredded abs and think they were just genetically gifted and I would have no chance of getting abs like those guys.
If only I knew back then what I know now, I would have given myself a huge kick up the arse!!
If your reading this and you’re think it’s impossible for you to get ripped abs, then let me tell you…
It’s only when I actually started working out at the gym and managed to build muscle in every area of my body, only then did I realize It was possible to get six pack abs.
If I had no problem building my upper body, then why should it be any different getting a shredded six pack?
If you can involve an equal amount of effort you put into getting a shredded core as you do with the rest of your body, then you’ll be well on your way to achieving your goal.
I learned how to burn fat and get ripped mostly through trial and error, just learning and apply different exercises to my routine.
