Should i train my legs EVERY DAY!?

Hello all,

Today i have gotten a question where a dude asked me should he train his legs every day.
For the purpose of this Blog, i shall copy his comment so you guys have a better idea on what he asked.

"Hi, Raw Bodybuilding, I would just like to know if it's ok to train legs everyday and if not how often should they be trained in a weak? As I just want to mainly focus on my legs now"




My reply to his question was this:

"Hello Cole, Um, no.. you should NOT only train your legs. Why? well your legs are always under stress, your walking every day, running, standing, sitting and standing up etc. Legs, as any other part of your body, are made out of a group of muscles. In order for them, the muscles, must get ripped, and than heal up - grow. So it would be much better for you to swap between cardio and leg workouts. Say, do your legs every other day, a total of 3-4 times a weak + cardio on the days you are not doing your legs and it should function quite well.. Know that you should always stay hydrated + rest as much as possible and go heavy. If you workout with bitch weights expect bitch results. So better for you to go heavy with perfect form and less reps than do 100 reps with no weight at all. If you are interested, i will write an entire article on leg workouts what to do and what not to do." Here I will explain to you all why it is not recommended for you to train ONLY one group of muscles all the time.

Most people think that if they train only their chest, or their arms, they will gain mass there.. well no, it may have a contra effect. By Contra Effect i mean that if you push and push and push those muslces, ripping them, and making them tired all the time, they will NOT have enough time to heal up. We all know that it is more than important for the muscles to heal after a training so they could stiffen, get stronger and above all else GROW.
If you want your legs to grow, you must train them as any other group of muscles.

ATTENTION: BEFORE ANY WORKOUT, GET A GOOD WARMUP!




So Lets say, on Mondays, you should do a lot of: - Weighted Squats/ Zercher Squats ( these squats are great for explosive power + i recoomend them to all athletes, because they are known to improve your overalls. )
- Split Squat ( I prefer to do it between to marked lines, and on every rep you should go sideways, so face your right line with your left leg and vice verse. This way you will always do they perfectly with the same distance between reps )
- Weighted Calf Raises ( you can go quite heavy with this, because your calves can take it ;) )


- DEADLIFTS ( i recommend these as much as possible, not only do they work your legs and your gluts, but they are also the best for the lower back and your core.

Do a couple of sets of all these exercises with as much weight as possible.

Than on Tuesday you should do cardio, a lot of jogging, jumping and walking.

Wednesday just repeat the Monday workout, after which you will do cardio and than skip Friday but do legs at Sunday. That way you will leave your legs to rest for an entire day, which will enhance the overall progress.

Know that beside legs you should do all other group of muscles, because if you want a good body, you must work on it. Not just your legs.
If your a stubborn little brat which only knows of football + abbs + legs, than you should atleast do some pushups, pullups, chinups and basic exercises small weights( or as i call them BITCH WEIGHTS )
