That is actually an amazing picture, is it real? If it is that guy has made some acheivements especially considering his disability.

Yes I say they are, and they have IMO been the thing that have grown best for me. 1.5 inches in the past 3 months
I probably only care so much because my dad said I had to train them, as I didnt want to end up with ' a huge chest but tiny sparrow legs'
And that is why I squat

I also had an altercation with the coffin at the same funeral, although it didn't look like a coffin to me. An easy mistake to make in my opinion.

I've seen u squat and u have some fcuking strong legs for your age! You hack squat more then guys I know who have been training for years and your technique is impeccable!
I never used to be arsed, untill my legs started to look disproportionate, now I am training with the goal to compete in mind I wish I had paid more attention to them! Althou I am lucky as I carry very little fat on my legs, so they look good without being too big!

i care much more for an upper body but i have always trained them equally until now..... i am switching to 1 specific leg day per month as my legs are far superior to my upper body
my untrained legs when i started training

I train my upper body mostly for strength, a bit for aesthetics. I only train legs for strength.
which is maybe why they're so f.ckin scrawny

no
perhaps because I haven't needed to - my legs grow quite easily
although not my calves... I have calves like a small girl
all that said, I do train legs as regularly as anything else
