Tbh I've got pretty beefy legs already, from a youth of being parentally forced into long distance running.

I want to only really work on upper body, I'm kinda scrawny there.

no.  and still no.  It's what lazy people say because they're too pussy to use weights.

60% of all your muscle mass is in your legs and back, are you telling me effective and efficent development of muscle mass can be derived by cycling/running/rowing?  Get real.

Deadlifts/squats/lunges/lat pulldowns/bent over rows/pull ups etc are the bedrock and foundation of muscular hypertrophy.  whether you like it or not yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooou have to do em.  start light, develop good form, build the weight up slowly.

i dont give a chuff if you're legs are burning.  I hear it all the time "oh oh if i can feel it, it must be working".  So if i kick you in the nuts will that be working for your dumb ass too?
100% correct.

You need to build everything gradually, can't just concentrate on upper body because you "already have beefy legs". As you're not used to working out your body requires core workouts to get into the routine before you can start doing specific muscle exercises.

Pff, too much bother. I've already noticed an improvement on general muscle definition in chest/biceps and haven't even been working that hard. I don't want my legs to get any bigger.

Stop posting in this thread. If you aren't going to listen to advice, these guys don't have time for you.

Go off and do whatever you want, I don't particularly care. Just don't fill this thread with shit.

It's kinda a unwritten rule, to always inculde one exercise you hate into your workout.  Builds character!

I'm still around 144 pounds. I went on a date with a girl a while back and she asked me if I did coke. The date kinda sucked at that point. Since I'm skinny she thought I was a coke head. :S

I'm 5'9 also and I don't look crack addict skinny either. I just found it funny in retrospect.

Big legs are aesthetic fo' sho (since that's what you're looking for).
Getting those tear drop quads has always been a goal of mine

Chest/Biceps today

Been able to gradually increase BP quite nicely since I restarted. Good stuff.

Im starting to develop them, its awsm.  Ive also got some vasuclarity that has been popping up right along that line between the upper/lower quad area.  Its sucks man, my calves are soooo tiny, but my quads are strong and pretty big.  I look like one of those guys who never trains legs, untill you see my on the squat rack.

Yeah, calves is pretty much all genetics innit? I have quite big calves, compared to my quads. Could be from playing handball for a few years, I don't know, but I'm glad those aren't lagging behind.

Had an absolute shit day today. Lost my bike keys so had to walk all the way to the gym/home. Could've grabbed the bus home but didn't want to miss my workout. Did chest/biceps today. Didn't do a complete workout, but a more intense one. Shorter rests and a drop/neg set at the end of every muscle. Was a great way to get some anger outta my system.
