In the gym it’s easy to focus on just upper body workouts, especially since that’s the most easily noticeable when people see you. However, you don’t want to end up with the chicken-leg syndrome most men get, where they have a well built upper body and skinny, weak ass legs. You want strong muscular legs to help support your body. On top of that, a lot of people underestimate the importance of the gluteal muscles. Weak glutes can cause lower back, hip, knee and foot pain. So check out these great lower body workouts to gain mass in different levels of intensity.
