Stronger legs without bigger pants?

If you eat at maintenance your legs won't be growing but you'll still get stronger over time.

Also doing EXPLOSIVE reps tends to prevent crazy leg growth.

You can't. You either train your whole body and don't eat surplus, thus getting stronger and not growing, or you don't train legs and eat big, thus growing but minimizing leg growth, but not getting stronger legs.

Will eating surplus on upper body days and deficit on lower body days, give me upper body growth but not lower body? I'm currently a t-rex, you see

no.

if you are eating at surplus to get a bigger upper body but want your legs to stay the same, just work your legs in only very low reps 95% 1rm and keep it super low volume.

alternatively you can develop endurance and only work legs legs with sets of 15+

idealy though you should just drop leg volume down to maintenance and focus on developing upperbody until it catches up to your satisfaction.

Something like squat and deadlift 3x3 one time a week?

>>36752117
This is reasonable. I have the same problem in that my legs (and glutes)are overall yuuge. Just keep the volume low and you should be okay.

Squats and deadlifts and occasional hamstring curls are also the only exercises I do for my legs

What about pic related?

Thinking about doing this for leg day:

3x3 Squat (high bar) [3-4 varm-up sets]
1x3 Deadlift [3-4 varm-up sets]
3x8 Leg curl
5x8 standing calf raises
4x15 seated calf raises

Train in muay thai or kickboxing instead of just lifting if you don't want bulky legs
