Why is it that legs grow so much faster than your upper body?

I only squat once a week and my legs are becoming disproportionately big compared to my upper body
>>
Because the squat is the best muscle building exercise of all time

The bench press, deadlift and ohp, while all great exercises for upper body, don't even come close to how much mass you can gain from a squat for your lower body

Idk I have diamond calves but a beer gut

compared to a squat for your lower body*

I'm kinda noticing this, finally making some progress with front squats after struggling with back squats for a year, and holy shit my quads are growing, and I barely even do much volume, like 5x3 twice a week. Noob gains but still, very satisfying.

20$ says they're not or you're just fat. Pic to prove me wrong.

You use your legs all day erry day. They carry you, your shit, your lunchtime food baby, water weight, everything. Leg day is just icing on the cake. Your arms, on the other hand, don't get near as much use.

Because the human body is designed for it, I guess. We're the only animals that walk upright.

Because your lower body contains the largest muscle groups in your body.

don't worry man at least when you have lower body, you got a problem building your your lower body, you got upper lower body, you got the upper body ugl the lower body you uh its hard to build the upper body. if you have the lower body, it's harder to build the upper body, if you have the upper body, it's hard to build lower, so, lower helps

like i said, you have the lower body and you have no upper body you got a problem you got a problem building... wait a minute, you have the upper body and you have no legs, you have the upper body and you have no legs, you got a problem building the legs. you have an upper, you have the lower body, and you dont have the upper body the upper body, it's easier to build.

so if you have the lower body, and you dont have the upper body, it's easier to build the upper body, you have the upper body and and you dont have the legs, you got a problem, building the lower body.

naw you dont understand. you HAVE, the UPPER body, but you dont have the lower body, you got a problem building downstairs. you got up the dlldldldldlegs on the bottom, it's it's easier to build the top

if you have the lower BODY, it's, if you have the lower body it's easier to build, if you have the lower body well just let me say it, if you have the lower body olower body, it's easier to build the top body, if you have the uh the top body and no legs you got a problem
