Legs - The bodies natural growth hormone

Every gym has what I like to call an ''upside down triangle man''. These are the blokes with a big chest, broad back, cannon ball delts but no legs and they look silly because as soon as they wear shorts their lower body looks tiny. You will hear them saying "I want more size. I want bigger biceps" etc but they won't ever get any bigger because they don't work their legs. Your legs are the biggest muscles in your body and every time you work them they release big growth hormones into the body giving your muscles an anabolic state to work with. This then means that when it releases these hormones it feeds the other muscles being worked making them grow bigger and stronger. The result? A bigger, stronger, leaner body. Working your legs doesn't just mean you will get big. If you are looking for a leaner look then working your legs will help you burn more calories, resulting in reduced body fat and more lean muscle by increasing your metabolic rate. So don't shy away from leg work in fear you will have tree trunks thighs the next day. So no matter what your goal is working your legs will get you there a lot quicker. For the best way to get these hormones firing the body incorporate squats, dead-lifts and lunges into your next workout as these compound moves work all of your leg muscles burning more calories giving your better results.
