Haha. You come down to the Tac, I got you. And all of her friends are boo'ed up. None of them models anyways, so you wouldn't be interested. lol

so running four miles, jumping rope and shadow boxing daily is not good enough exercise for your legs?

do i need to? do you work your legs with weights?

Depends what you want out of those legs.

Explosive strength? No, then what you're doing is not enough.

If you're doing upperwork strength training and only skipping ropes and running for the legs you will end up asymmetric and don't gain close to the same positives from your strength training as you could.


If you want to flex your biceps on da corner it's probably enough.

i do a bunch of vertical leaps as part of my daily work as well. anyway, i am going to look into a very simple weight workout for my legs. phuck squatting with heavy weight though. i like my knees.

Well that information is mislead, FYI if you squat below parallel you will not get bad knees. It's all these wanna be strong guys who want to squat 4 plates each side doing a quarter rang of motion squats that get bad knees.

If you want to improve your leg strength though without weight pistons aka single leg squats are a very good way of doing it.

One legged squats are also much less safe than regular squats as you can't keep the leg perfectly steady.

I'd recommend regular squats but you don't need to aim for 300lbs. Start very low and work your way up.
If done with proper technique and weights you can handle squats are perfectly safe for your knees.
