The Biggest and The Meanest Legs In The Fitness Industry

A pair of big wheels are what separate the men from the boys. Shredded legs are a sign of dedication, commitment, and brute strength. The athletes on the list make gym bros look like electric bulbs.

For an aesthetic physique, you need to lay equal, if not more, focus on your legs as compared to your upper body and the athletes in this article are the perfect example. The next time you think of skipping leg days, these athletes will haunt you in your dreams.

Tom Platz

If you’re talking about the most insane legs in the bodybuilding world, you can’t leave Tom Platz out of the conversation. The fact that Platz had the legs he had back in the golden era of bodybuilding is nothing but insane.

Ronnie Coleman

Ronnie Coleman holds the record for the most number of Mr. Olympia title wins. He won the most prestigious bodybuilding show for eight years in a row. Coleman was a force to be reckoned with in his competitive years.

Julian Smith

Julian Smith is also known as “The Quad Guy” and we approve his choice of name. Smith follows brutal leg workouts, and he shares them with his followers on Instagram. You’ll surely be motivated to train your legs after scrolling through his Insta feed.

Branch Warren

Warren is known for his grueling workouts. He works out at the non-air conditioned Metroflex gym in Texas which goes on to say a lot about his work ethic. Branch’s legs look nothing less than tree trunks with veins.

Jay Cutler

Being crowned 4X Mr. Olympia is proof Jay is one of the best bodybuilders in the world. Jay broke all the standards with his size and conditioning when he stepped on the Mr. Olympia stage to dethrone Ronnie Coleman (another entrant on our list) for the world’s best bodybuilder title.

Kai Greene

Kai was the contender for the Mr. Olympia title for the longest of times and some people consider him an uncrowned Mr. Olympia. Kai has a unique style of training, and he includes a variety of exercises to target and develop his legs.

Dorian Yates

Dorian Yates is 6X Mr. Olympia and is the person responsible for starting the trend of pushing the human muscular size into the stratosphere. Yates dwarfed everyone when he stepped on stage and dominated the bodybuilding world for years.

When you look at this picture, what comes to mind? Hard work? Genetics? Steroids? One thing I Suggest you NEVER do is discount how much work went into creating something. You have NO idea the amount of time, pain, discipline, and obsession went into creating this physique. Most people will fail in life because they discount the amount of time and work it’s going to take to get accomplish their goal, so when it gets hard they crumble like dry leaves. Whatever you think it took, multiple that by 20. And the next goal you set out to crush, multiply your expectation by 100 and hope it’s even harder. Never ask for it to be easy. Ask for you to be better. Im grateful for my pain, im grateful for my struggles, they made the man I am and will continue to push harder than most people ever conceive because I’ve been dark places most people aren’t willing to go. What struggles are you grateful for? #YouCantDoWhatIDo #mi40gym #muscleintelligence #mi40 #benpakulski #mi40life
