RawveganPeruana Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Here I began a bodybuilding routine with a trainer around the same time I began high raw and high fruit diet. I am about 3 months into bodybuilding. I am 5'2'' and weight 110I take in about 2,100 caloriesabout 40-60 grams proteinHow could I add more muscle to my legs? How can I ahieve them to get bulky through muscle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen_Horse Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Good progress, but if you are bodybuilding then I would try and get some more protein if you can. 60g out of 2100 calories is only 11% of your calories from protein, while most bodybuilders are up past 20% or more. But personally I think you are making great progress anyway, so unless you are really focused on bodybuilding instead of just general health, I wouldn't change much!

pazios2002 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 To make your legs bigger through muscle, you treat them like pistons on an earth mover. Remember to warm up properly. If you still have a personal trainer then he/she should have told you that. You look great already good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawveganPeruana Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Pazios: My trainer knows I am mainly wanting to bulk up my legs. He is having me do squats and deadlifts. I am enjoying the routines and he switches it up every month. I am just looking for other people's advice on how to bulk up legs as there are different ways people have achived this. Just looking for more options for myself. I should increase the protein a little more. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSxvx Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Leg Extension Machine: Do full range of motion, holding at the top of the movement for 2 seconds. Goblet Squats + Weight: I absolutely love these. Weighted Stepups: Do these onto a fairly high platform with weight added. I like to hold the weight like the goblet squat while I do them. Make sure to take atleast 1-2 seconds on the way up and 1-2 seconds on the way down. Get a road bike and ride up some hillsand bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lean and Green Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Welcome . Continue to train hard and consistently as you are making gains. You'll see more and more results over time doing why you do. Glad that you are eating a good amount of unprocessed whole foods. To add some more protein to your intake I'd recommend supplementing ad making a shake or two throughout the day. Sunwarrior is a good tasting Raw brown rice protein and of course there are tons of other options. Great to have you here in the vbbf fam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starling1 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Legs are hard to build up--I'd venture to say the hardest of all. This is because of memory; they have so, so much of it, as you have used them since, well, forever... So basically in order to develop muscle, you have to really, really smash them. That's the truth of it, plain and simple. cheersluke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
