    Building legs without squats or presses

    This is yet an experiment within an experiment. Most of you are aware of what I'm doing in my training journal, and that I no longer squat..., or do any leg pressing/lunging movements. So the question is this: do you think I can build my legs to a respectable size (or at least to their former...

Too many dudes focus on the anterior (eg presses, flyes), not enough on the posterior (eg rows, reverse flyes). What lengths do YOU go to to ensure your shoulder gets worked out evenly across...
