My family especially the males are cursed with chicken lens.

I always remember my grandfathers chicken legs when he wore shorts in the summer. He was a sailor and built like pop eye.

My father is the same. He used to be s body builder, had an impressive upper body but two pins for legs.

Unfortunately the family curse hasn't skipped my generation. Upper body I put on muscle quite easily.

My legs look terrible and are way out of proportion. .

Despite enjoying training legs and spending years and years under the bar squatting I've very little to show for it.

My legs are not a neglected body part, they just refuse to grow.

Getting tied or it. Over the years I've always remained positive and hopeful that maximum effort would pay off but here I am. With very little to show for it.

Now what?
 

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

Seriously thinking of scaling back the leg work.

Mabye I'll train legs once a week. Stop focusing on heavy squats and just drop the weight, up the reps and just train light for pump?

Let's are definitely my weakest link by far. My calves are the biggest joke that's been played on me.

if you train legs consistently with barbell squats it shouldn’t be this much of a problem. Do you have a picture? This could just be in your head, OP.

Heavy squats and deadlifts. I squat every training session. Eat a surplus of protein and calories and they will grow. Did I mention heavy squats? As a bare minimum you squat your body weight, and you should strive to get that up to twice your body weight.

Can you give us some numbers? What are your squat, deadlift, bench and overhead press numbers now? How many sets and reps?
What program do you do? Tell us a bit about your typical workout. How much do you eat?

I have the opposite problem. My quads are disproportionately massive. Squats and deadlifts did occupy the bulk of my training for years, but for the past 2 years I almost completely stopped them, and despite losing 20 lbs they're still huge.

It's further proof that body comp and aesthetics is largely genetically determined.

As far as advice goes, I'd suggest doing hypertrophy styled squats and front squats. 10 sets of 10 starting at say 135lbs might be optimal if you're serious. Just make sure you keep good form. Don't waste time with leg press or other machines. Just squat.
