I was injured for months and couldnt do any exercises using my legs or run.
Every day was upper body day.
Now that I've recovered, I've had a horrible (but totally expected) discovery.
> tfw I've become the "dont skip leg day" meme
I look similar to pic related's proportions.
How can I change my routine to regain balance again?
what do you guys suggest???
>>36956935
Now that I'm looking at the picture, my upper body is actually MORE disproportionate than his.
I have larger pecs/ shoulders/ arms.
My legs are still muscular and I have nice quads, but my calfs and quads are still really small comparatively
post pic
do lower body exercices
>>36956935
Start squatting you faggot. Twice a week to get those big legs.
>>36956935
you skipped both leg and upper body days you dumb OP
don't squat unless you have a large cock, preferably with a lot of girth
reason being, guys with large quads and average or small cocks look pathetic, because they are really jacked, but their penis looks even tinier than normal
rest assured girls WILL laugh at you, and you won't be getting recurring lays, plus her friends will likely find out
doesn't matter if you have average or even slightly above average size, she will still interpret it as "omg he has a skinny baby dick but he's ripped lmao"
use this information in self defense
>>36956981
I'll try to get a good pic, I just dont have a good angle for it
>>36956984
I'm still a bit weary to put a lot of pressure on my knee right now. I re-injured it before, and I can't risk doing it again. I used a leg press machine today and it was doing ok (with a brace). I dont want to use the squat rack yet.
do you have a good routine?
>>36957003
the OP pic isnt me genius
don't worry OP muscle memory is a real thing
also you use your legs more than your arms so they tend to grow faster, so just get back on that leg day
calve raises and basketball shorts.
ok, I took a pic
I dont look as bad as I thought I did, but my legs are still lacking definition
I still look janky when I'm wearing a tank top and multiple people have commented on how my legs looked smaller
if your knees are injured, just do leg press as smith machine
>>36957123
yeah you're a huge faggot as i suspected
your legs really are quite tiny, i would probably go so far as to stop upper body for a while and focus exclusively on getting those legs bigger
take it or leave it though
>>36957167
I'm not just gonna stop upper body
I still have to maintain my current strength
>>36957179
then continue enjoying tiny legs
like i said, take it or leave it.
>>36957123
m8, you look fine.
>>36957123
who fucking cares bro? You got a great physique, and now you're healthy. get back into it. start squatting, leg pressing.. riding a bike is a great way to get bigger legs fast.. i ride 20+ miles a day and my legs juiced up
>>36957190
He's right don't listen to the trolls.
Good job on that bod anon
I'm proud of all your hard work and disciple
>>36957194
>>36957190
>>36957199
thanks guys
I do need to work on my legs more though. I did a lot of stationary biking when I was injured too. I was able to keep my run times not much lower which was a nice surprise
>>36957123
body dysmorphia is one hell of a drug...
>>36956935
Squatt and Deadlift?
>>36957123
don't ever stop working out upper body, keep doing what you do, but add squats, calf raises and isolation on other leg muscles
>>36957325
roger roger
perhaps you need to kill youself
>>36956935
I hate it when people post pictures like this. You literally can't see his legs and people are spouting "skip leg day much? xDDD!"
You can't grow your calves much so judging someones legs based on their calves is ridiculous
>>36956935
do Starting strength.
The original, minimalistic one. As it has more lower body volume than upper body
>>36957016
>current year
>being this insecure
>lifting for girls
>>36956935
>what do you guys suggest???
laser tattoo removal
>>36956935

>>36957123
>tfw i have the same legs and i consider them to be big enough
Am i a faggot or do y'all just have body dismorphia.
>>36956963
who gives a shit about calves?
>>36957123
Damn dude. Normally I would tell you to kill yourself but I can't let his one go. You look fine, you're not disproportionate. Just keep doing what you're doing and work on that mental health brah.
>>36957123

>>36959309

That dude skipped leg & face day
How did you do upperbody if you couldn't do legs or run, what the hell kept your balance doing those weights even when seated. There is still ots of stress, did you break a toenail only? My torn ankle couldn't handle shit so I missed 3 months
>>36967925
patellar tendonitis
while I was technically able to run, it would have made the injury worse
how the fuck does an ankle, or any leg, injury fuck you up that much?
>>36968065
seated rows never hurt your knee, how did it go away?
>>36968121
I just didnt run, squat, deadlift, or do anything that involved lifting weight or putting pressure on my knee for a month or two
