Episode 131: How to Build your Legs - LEG GROWTH MASTER CLASS part 1

Most lifters think leg growth comes down to genetics or just “training hard,” but real lower-body development is much more strategic than that. In this episode, we break down the key principles behind building bigger, stronger legs — from properly distributing volume across quads, hamstrings, adductors, and glutes, to choosing exercises that actually match your structure and biomechanics. We also dive into squat variations, lengthened-position training, and why intelligent intensity — not just pain for the sake of pain — is what drives real hypertrophy. Drawing from the philosophies of Kassem Hanson, Pat Davidson, and old-school bodybuilding legends like Tom Platz, this episode gives you a practical framework for building your best legs yet.
