Train legs 3x a week! #foryou #athlete #youtubeshorts #motivation #abs

Your legs are the biggest muscle group in your body. I'm talking about your quads, your hamstrings, and your glutes. But if you're over 30 and only training legs once a week, you're definitely, and I mean you're definitely leaving your hormones on the table. I train legs at least 3 times a week, and I make my clients do the same thing as well too. You have to understand that when you load them heavy with compound lifts, your body responds with an acute spike in growth hormone, AKA testosterone. Bigger muscles, Bigger demand, bigger hormonal response. Small isolation work doesn't really trigger them. But guess what does though? Squats, RDLs, and hip thrusts do. But here's what most men get wrong. They destroy their legs once a week and they limp for 5 days. Then they repeat. That's crazy work. Why are you doing that? Protein synthesis after every session only stays elevated for 48 to 72 hours. So a 1-leg day means your legs grow 2 days and sit idle for 5. That makes no sense. But 3 moderate sessions keep that growth signal switched all week, with less soreness, not more. And it doesn't just stop at your legs. Heavy lower body work literally drives insulin sensitivity, it torches more calories than any arm day ever will, and bulletproofs your knees and hips— the exact joints that break down in desk workers and former athletes.
