Yes when you look at yourself in the mirror your brain pays attention moretto the flows and when you look at other people it pays attention to strong parts. For example if you look at a dude with big traps but not that big of a chest you are going to be paying attention tot he big traps and that dude looks big to you and you are impressed by hes physiqe. If you are that dude however and look at yourself in the mirror you are going to pay attention to the not as big of a chest and see yourself as not that big and wont be that very happy with your physiqe. Dom Mazzeti said it best the day you start lifting is the day you will never be big enough.
I think there's a movement that's slowly starting in the Fitness community where everyone is realizing that you seriously need to re-evaluate why you work out or exercise. Being healthy and doing what makes you happy should always be the priority in my opinion.
Nonsense..the amount of testerone with a leg day once a week has so much benefits for the rest of the weeks other muscles, so if you want to get goals on the rest of your body you like, you need it So even if you want skinny legs do it once a week for the benefit of the hormones and natural testerone your body makes
I've been working out for about 6 years and I agree with you on that point in particular: you reach a point where your motivation & goals change, it's so true. The progression tapers off - and you have to re-evaluate in order to keep on track. Those jumps you do - are seriously impressive. Most people with heaps of mass just wouldn't be able to make any of those - me included. So I totally get you and I think this is a great vid with really good measured advice. And from personal experience, as much as it feels mentally good to have a physique that I desired to have - it's never good enough in my own mind, and to be honest it's never made me happier as such. The things that have brought me happiness are simpler things like doing the things, the challenges that scare me.
Your comment sounds cool, but it’s Intellectually dishonest. Looks and Function were never exclusive, actually, they go hand in hand for most “functions” of life.

I used to be able to clean and jerk 315lbs and was really explosive I hit my legs hard like 4-5 times a week until I sprained my ankle pretty bad during soccer. After that, I now work on strengthening, mobilizing, bulletproofing, and explosiveness for my lower body and all the small muscles, joints, and ligaments most people tend to look over. You don't need crazy strong legs to have a good lower body. I'm now playing division 1 soccer for a really good school without killing my legs weekly.
I never like or comment on youtube videos (perhaps not *never* but this is the 35th like I've given out in my 12 years using the platform), but you've gotten both for this video Ben. This is an extremely important message that so many people need to hear and *actually* understand. Keep up the great work, and promoting functional (health and) fitness. Bravo!
I feel you on this one man. I'm exactly the same, I find it so damn hard to put size on my legs. However I have done very slowly and gradually but damn is it stupidly hard work. People with naturally big legs will never understand the struggle.
I am 5 10 and i noticed that tall people have skinny legs while average or small guys tend to put mass much quicker on legs, me included. So i consider the bigs strong legs i have not a good thing but a reminder that i am average short.
Real men should do whatever the hell they want with their legs as long as they are happy and it makes them align with their goals. Great Summary! Look at Eluid Kipchoge- a man with the skinniest leg in the world who ran sub 2 hour marathon 😊
I also skipped legs for 1 year but that changed 2 months ago, i walked near a squat rack and my quad grew just for looking at it, so yeah i know i have good quad genetics
I officially hit 400 lbs on the seated leg press. I was able to manage one rep after 5 sets. 1st set was 300x6 reps, 2nd was 320x7, 3rd was 340x7, 4th was 350x7 and 5th was 370x6. Don't know if that's strong or not, but I'm 6'1" 200 pounds. My legs are perfectly proportional to my frame, but don't look like a body builder's. So I know the struggle. No matter how strong I get or how much I lift, my legs stay the same size. It sucks. He is wrong on one point. Hanging strength. Hanging strength comes from grip strength. Locking the bar and preventing it from rotating while doing a preacher curl will test your grip strength like no other. I currently preacher curl 125-135lbs inverted grip at 6 reps 5 sets depending on how good I'm feeling that day. I never let the bar rotate. So now my grip strength is god mode. I can hang almost indefinitely. Not one single man has been able to pry something from my grip. Learned this trick from old bodybuilder champion back in the 80's. Now I have to use straps or else the weight will rip the skin from my hands. Try it. Watch your grip get insanely strong.
So basically… this is just 6min and 32 seconds of you bitching about skipping leg day 😂. No hate bro, I like you’re videos, but stop with al the excuses😂. Lack of motivation is not a valid reason for skipping leg day. It’s not about doing what you feel like doing. Motivation is not necessary, discipline is necessary.
I think you missed the point. This is a video teaching men that they don’t have to do weights to get big legs just because of the social pressure to have muscular legs. I explain that your leg training should align with your goals, not align with someone else’s expectations of body image. I stopped lifting and my legs shrunk but they also became more athletic because of the side effect of ninja warrior training, they aligned with my goals.
I understand what you’re saying, but if you for example train like an athlete for ninja warrior most of the time (4-5 days a week) and besides that you train legs ones a week with weights… i think that would be only beneficial. Ones a week is not much. I don’t think you need to be afraid of growing to big legs and it is also possible to train different. You could do powerlifting instead of doing many reps. That way, you purely focus on strength, not size. If you get stronger legs: you can jump higher and run faster. I think this would only help you in your ninja warrior training. Stronger, but not necessarily bigger… perfect for athletes, right?
Like everyone, I fear leg days so I removed the fear by doing mixed weight training. I enjoy balance. I do notice fellows wearing long pants in the gym and wonder if its to hide chicken legs.
I like this video and its message. I think there's a valid area for exploration around if goals are a good idea at all, and if instead we'd be better off focusing on making the moment to moment experience rewarding.
Juicy legs not only give you a sexy aesthetic look but also they are the most functional muscle group. First they have to balance and carry you around, but also support a good healthy alignment throught your body when walking and running. In the long run this means less foot, ankle, knee and back problems today and future.
Easy route? Spending every week for 5 years training to become the best ninja athlete and then winning they entire show is the easy route? ohhhh its becuase i didnt do any squats... thats the mentality this entire video is based around
I'm the opposite, my arms are small af, and my legs are always decently big, even when I wasn't weightlifting, I barely ever train calfs and they are pretty big
The way I understanding "skipping leg day" is that it is in the program, but was skipped for one reason or another. Whereas Mr. Echo simply does not have leg days in his program to skip in the first place so I wouldn't really consider that he skipped leg days.
Umm, no, physique is not a goal, at least for me. I know that, as a natural, I will never be "too big", and I know that every workout that I do makes me look better. It's not a jacked/skinny thing, it's a gradient that we all should strive to be as high on as possible.
Бен, спасибо тебе за отличный контент и за правильную, взвешанную позицию! Я долго сталкивался с проблемами в том же front lever и прочих упражнениях, и думал, что я просто недостаточно стараюсь. Но когда нашёл тебя, человека такого же роста и веса как я, многое стало яснее. Теперь я знаю, что дело не в моих стараниях, а в том числе в генетике и особенностях тела. Наконец я могу перестать ровняться на людей ростом 170-175 сантиметров, пытаясь повторить те же трюки, что и они. 😁
I do squats, deadlifts, and lunges every week....but not super heavy. It's all done with a relatively light kettlebell. Not because i want massive legs, mind you. I don't want to have massive, bulging thighs and calves. Nor do i want skinny chicken legs. The result is just regular "tree trunk" shaped legs with some basic strength to them.
Honestly, its not even bad. Your upper body is well built and big enough, but you still look like you have decent legs. I believe it would be worse if you took steroids and get bigger upper body, because that would make your legs smaller, but roids doesnt worth it. Stay natural, do what makes you happy
Bro why legs are too difficult to grow. I was consistent since 1.5 years. Now i see some changes. I do not go to gym. But i do workout everyday. I watch u tube and do my workout. I did loose my wt from 72 kg to 55 kg in 8 months. Now my target is to build muscle. I can do 50 pushup(proper form/standard form) on one go. But hitting leg 2 times a week is nightmare. But i am getting good result. But not that much my upper body responded. Btw i am satisfied with my progress. I want hit my goal next feb (feb 2025) . Wish me your best wishes. Apology if i did any mistake.
I suffered from tendonitis in my foot (behind foot fingers) and it´s been 8 months since i could workout my legs fully even though i desperately want to.. :(.. the foot isn´t getting to where it was before.
I think it's great you don't train your legs!! It's not for everybody! I used to train them so hard. Squatting all the time! I just do them twice a month now. I can still do splits just because I stretch all the time. Everyone has different goals and dreams. Thanks for posting!!
Legs are my genetic strong suit muscle, not sure if thats a good thing or bad thing. Would love to be able to grow big shoulders easier way more, but on the plus side can skip hella leg days and stay balanced which is great
In our country chicken legs means the opposite side of the one your talking about maybe your talking about broom legs you accidentally call it chicken legs
I can relate to my legs shrinking hella fast. I take one week off the gym & I go from 26+ inch mid quad to looking like tooth picks (didn't measure after was too embarrassed just from looking at them) I train legs twice a week & take them seriously. Yet with my arms I could take a month off the gym they'll still look like I lift.
Slightly off topic but there's nothing I hate more than being told not to skip leg day by people who skip lifting all together. If you don't lift at all I don't wanna hear about leg day from you.
I've always said train to optimize your bodies natural athletic archetype. Acknowledging and accepting that is the first step. It took me eons to realize this but since I'm shorter with broad shoulders and a mid center of gravity I focus on working out like a shifty running back / pekaboo style boxer since that's my player build that the devs gave me. I've grown to get obsessed with explosive strength + fast twitch movements, momentum shifting, and mobility. I always think of it as how to maximize strength and conditioning. Certain workouts make more sense depending on your player build like for me excercise like trap bar dead lifts, neutral grip bench press, ladder drills and jump rope help optimize my body archytpe. Sure you can force it, but someone built for it will always have the edge. If we had a choice we'd all be built like young or old Kratos depending on your preference lol but life's a dice a game and you're assigned your character build from the beginning.
That makes a lot of sense. You were going for functional strength. I would imagine you did a bunch of explosion exercises for your legs, so they were still very strong.
I personaly cant really skip my leg days as I have naturaly small legs but pretty wide shoulders, arms, and neck so it just look odd. I know it cause when I was in my late teen/early 20's (first time I got in shape) I would purely focus on the upper body and ended up looking like I stole the legs from a dude 100lbs lighter than me when I ''peaked''. Then I started again about 6 months ago after after 5-6 years off the gym and even tho im not as in shape as I once used to be I really prefer the balanced look of everything growing at the same rate. Still even tho you did skip for 5 years keep in mind that despite not lifting heavy charges thus not constantly getting bigger your ''ninja warrior'' training CLEARLY kept your legs in very sharp shapes. You would most likely be able to make them bigger again MUCH faster than the average guy with small legs if you wished it.
Lifetime 60 year old natty here. The secret is not heavy weights. Its multiple medium to light sets of 20 reps. For maintenance you can do heavy 1rms. The squats I’m talking about are from AtG to just before lockout. And the only rest is in the bottom position not at the top. They will grow. 20 is the magic number.
Idk man I dont think performance in a niche sport is truly worth skipping training a significant amount of your body, avoiding being a well rounded athlete & having a horribly disproportionate body over. But thats just my opinion ig 🤷♂️
For transparency I did slightly photoshop my legs in the thumbnail to help portray the idea I’m trying to get across. The message in the video still stands the same. 💪🏻

I take one week off the gym & I go from 26+ inch mid quad to looking like tooth picks (didn't measure after was too embarrassed just from looking at them) I train legs twice a week & take them seriously. Yet with my arms I could take a month off the gym they'll still look like I lift.
wasn't expecting the hamza cameo. great vid btw
One of worst guy in the gym i ever hear about in my life, lol. I'ts joke man, everyone commit mistakes in the process. goodluck
Awwww poor baby got trauma from chicken legs. Those Shriners kids just don’t understand the struggle
well that's misleading. having explosive strength in legs still requires exercise.(and heavy squats do help with explosive strength)
Pro tip: if you plateau pick a sport for which to train, it'll motivate you to go to the gym
just do calves. that will ne enough, right?
im fat so i have big legs. just perma bulk for 2 decades.
The goal is never reached in body building. You gain more and the grind never ends
my natural legs are insane. The muscle just maintains.
I have thick legs but your friend definitely out-squat me
Slightly off topic but there's nothing I hate more than being told not to skip leg day by people who skip lifting all together. If you don't lift at all I don't wanna hear about leg day from you.
So what if your upper body becomes huge then you still have chicken legs what then
joe fazer is still skinny after couple years of training and eating 5000 + calories 😝 bad genes
I love how you put jeffry and adonis as a reference when mentioning giga-chad
I dont get the fascination with chest
Don't get me wrong a huge chest is cool
But not to the detriment of a flabby stomach
Weak legs
Weak delts
I skipped arms, chest, back but never legs and glutes.
I've always said train to optimize your bodies natural athletic archetype. Acknowledging and accepting that is the first step. It took me eons to realize this but since I'm shorter with broad shoulders and a mid center of gravity I focus on working out like a shifty running back / pekaboo style boxer since that's my player build that the devs gave me. I've grown to get obsessed with explosive strength + fast twitch movements, momentum shifting, and mobility. I always think of it as how to maximize strength and conditioning. Certain workouts make more sense depending on your player build like for me excercise like trap bar dead lifts, neutral grip bench press, ladder drills and jump rope help optimize my body archytpe. Sure you can force it, but someone built for it will always have the edge. If we had a choice we'd all be built like young or old Kratos depending on your preference lol but life's a dice a game and you're assigned your character build from the beginning.
That makes a lot of sense. You were going for functional strength. I would imagine you did a bunch of explosion exercises for your legs, so they were still very strong.
You don’t have to lift legs if you sprint up hills as a workout for 30 min 2-3 times a week. I prefer this cause it’s both a leg & cardio workout
4:19 that lache was insane
But we still must lift weights forever
Half a decade of leg neglect is serious dedication if you are gym rat. 😂😂
I dont thinks these even qualify as legs for a chicken.
I personaly cant really skip my leg days as I have naturaly small legs but pretty wide shoulders, arms, and neck so it just look odd. I know it cause when I was in my late teen/early 20's (first time I got in shape) I would purely focus on the upper body and ended up looking like I stole the legs from a dude 100lbs lighter than me when I ''peaked''.
Then I started again about 6 months ago after after 5-6 years off the gym and even tho im not as in shape as I once used to be I really prefer the balanced look of everything growing at the same rate. Still even tho you did skip for 5 years keep in mind that despite not lifting heavy charges thus not constantly getting bigger your ''ninja warrior'' training CLEARLY kept your legs in very sharp shapes. You would most likely be able to make them bigger again MUCH faster than the average guy with small legs if you wished it.
But whith small legs the upper body look bigger
Lifetime 60 year old natty here. The secret is not heavy weights. Its multiple medium to light sets of 20 reps. For maintenance you can do heavy 1rms. The squats I’m talking about are from AtG to just before lockout. And the only rest is in the bottom position not at the top. They will grow. 20 is the magic number.
i liked the gengar sticker , i am a pokemon fan too ; btw the video was great!
Do more upper body so your legs get stronger carrying the weight
Okay this is fungus.!
Yeah really you push a door open or pull a door open, you don't leg a door open.
I dont get why people are so friggin skinny in their youth
Yep! 252!
I lift plastic cases of water everyday at work.
Thanks.
Your legs aren't that skinny bro
You need matt furey in your life…thank me later bro
Performance > Looks
depends
@@onelgaleas177 exactly....
Idk man I dont think performance in a niche sport is truly worth skipping training a significant amount of your body, avoiding being a well rounded athlete & having a horribly disproportionate body over. But thats just my opinion ig 🤷♂️
What's your height and weight?
Let's just call the whole thing off😂
I started legs a year ago it's very important
