Can we get a straight answer on how legs fit into aesthetics?

Some say they don’t matter at all from sloots’ POV while others say you’re not a real man if you have chicken legs

Personally I think visible leg development with low bf so you can see quad separations is ideal. Basically that they look cut in festival shorts or swimtrunks, and potentially enables moggery of those who neglect legs completely

What think the misc does?

Not at the expense of leanness though. Quite harder to get big quads at a leaner percentage

Women love big muscular legs and a good ass on a man, and thats a fact.
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

Just from a self-respect standpoint, I don't understand how you can skip legs aka 1/2 of your body. Plus lol @ physiques without a mean set of wheels srs.

That’s 80% of gymgoers

Also people’s knees give out in their late 20’s because they squatted wrong or neglected legs too much

I don't spend a lot of time critiquing other people's physiques, but I do certainly notice when a guy putting up a respectable bench stands up and looks like one of the aliens from the Space Jam team after they started bike riding.

Me too.

I think if you are trying to look good naked but are way too top-heavy and disproportionate it looks awful and quite frankly, embarrassing.

Brb upper body weighs 150 lbs lower body weighs 30 lbs - just lol

Any real athlete is going to have fkin JACKED legs. You can always tell the gymcels from the actual athletes. Athlete physique looks >>>>> gymcel bench press only physique. And I'm pretty sure females notice the difference. One way to not just look like a complete meathead gymcel is to train legs just as hard if not harder than upper body. Also, doing things like incline hiking and bike riding (actual bikes)

As someone who has trained legs / squatted / deadlifted for years, here's my thoughts on it

Legs aren't that important, and most dudes spend too much time on legs

You don't want to completely ignore them but you really don't need to go crazy with them either

As long as you're lean enough to show some muscle and they aren't completely skinny, it's fine

Gonna agree with this.
If you are fairely big and have proportionally big legs, they will look too big, srs. Look at Zyzz’ legs in relation to his upper body for instance.

Currently I squat 140 kg for 5 reps, and to girls my legs look good in relation to my upper body, so it doesn’t take that much imo.

Or even just look at Arnold, vs someone like Ronnie



Obviously there are other things that make Ronnie less aesthetic (Gut) but the massive legs just don't look as good. Arnold never had massive legs but had some muscle and IMO that's the best look

If your calves aren't at least the same measurement as your biceps LDAR.

Women don't care about legs at all. It is good to train them a little to protect your knees. Heavy ass squats are dumb in my opinion.

If you don't compete and just lift.

You having a decent Adonis belt and visual top quad muscles that connect to said Adonis belt, is perfect.

From there just focus on delts and rest upper body

Yeah this is kind of what I'm getting at

Growing your arms, back, shoulders, chest is hard enough, and the ideal look is that these are all much bigger in comparison to legs

So give them more attention. Training legs super hard 2x a week is just a waste of energy

Put that energy into dieting / being lean IMO

I like having big legs, but it definitely makes your cawk look smaller.

another benefit of having big legs is that it allows you to wear short shorts, which is definitely in the running for best mogging attire srs
