Everyone wants to have a nice set of wheels, whether it's a car or legs. Many gym goers tend to ignore leg training. This just BLOWS my mind! The way I see it, is that the legs make up 50% of the body. Why anyone would want only 50% of their body to look good is beyond me! Sure leg training is grueling but the benefits you reap are rewarding. The best exercise for the legs is the squats hands down. Squats will pack on slabs of muscles. When doing squats you gotta "get low", booty to heels. If a bad back is your excuse for not working out legs, find another one because you can still train legs adequately by doing leg press for your mass building lift. The hamstrings are even neglected by people who train legs, maybe it's towards the end of the workout when your most exhausted or it's just not that exciting. What I've started doing is training my quads and hams on separate days allowing enough time for recovery. I have found I get better response dividing the quads and hams on separate days. REMEMBER if your not training legs, you don't care about 50% of your body!
