I need advise, How many times can legs be trained in a week?
Yesterday I had a great party, eventhough I awoke at 6:30 to run in the woods with my cousin and my brother. My cousin is fat but he has a great resistance. I don’t understand that, his diet isn’t clean but he has great strengh, I saw his calves, they were well defined and build but he has a lot of fat. My brother had no problem, he trains capoeira and his legs are very strong and solid. I didn’t have cardio problems, but my legs fail, around 45 minutes of running they started to pain. I can’t undertand, isn’t supose that the big muscular groups can be trained all the days?, Yesterday I was in the bike and the day before I did squats and on Monday I played soccer. After running we went to swim and I had no problems, I thought my legs wouldn’t work in the pool but they did. Someone can advise me a good legs workout.

the legs contain the largest masses of muscle in the body… therefore, when u work them out, you are breaking down the most muscle at once of any groups u can train… the more muscle is broken down, the more repair you need… i know you won’t heed what i’m about to say, but i’ll tell you anyway HAHA…
do squats and calf raises once a cycle… i’m on an 8-day cycle myself because i found out that’s how long it takes for me to repair optimally… once every 8th day i’ll do a 5×5 on squats and 3×10 on calves and i move up consistently in reps and/or weight every week… record ur results and beat them
