Why You NEED To Train Legs

Video: How To Get Ripped http://sixpackshortcuts.com/?c=3&k=117

What's up sixpackshortcutters!

In this video I tell you why you need to train your legs consistently -- even if you only care about how your upper body looks.

Here's why -- training your legs will actually make your UPPER BODY much stronger!

And if you're not training legs right now, you're really missing out on a big source of muscle gain. If you've been focusing only on developing your upper body and struggling to gain mass, this might be the reason why.

Here's why strong legs are key:

-- Your legs are your FOUNDATION for many important upper body lifts. Your bench press, military press, dead lift, etc. will all improve if you train your legs hard and consistently. The most effective compound lifts all involve legs, and if you're not training them you're going to lift less. Since your legs may become the limiting factor in upper body lifts, that means your upper body won't be worked out as intensely...and you won't gain as much muscle.

-- Your legs are also where MOST of the muscle on your body is. When you train your legs regularly, it becomes much easier to gain muscle. This will increase your metabolism and make your upper body more lean.

-- Your legs are key to make your physique FUNCTIONAL. It sucks to look great, but to barely be able to climb stairs or play sports. Obviously it's key for athletes to train legs, and even non-athletes should have some functionality and athleticism to their physique as well.

-- Finally, a huge upper body on top of a pair of skinny chicken legs just looks stupid :P

Of course, you don't have to get HUGE legs like a powerlifter, but in my opinion you do want your legs to somewhat match your upper body. I don't have the hugest legs myself -- but I do make sure that they stay proportional to my upper body, and that they're functional.

As far as HOW to make your legs functional, check out my other videos on leg training to get started!
