So i just worked my legs. At one point I could leg press over 500lbs, but those days are gone and now i just want to be strong over all.

So maybe its just a body type thing, like i can bulk up my legs so they look like 2 or 3 times the thickness of the average guy but upperbody wise it just doesn't happen.

hey.. im 6'0 and 145lbs, and dont consider myself tiny. my legs are the same way, i can do 400lb calf extentions, 500+ leg press reps, and still not get too sore. it was from skating ramps fo 6 years.
