Wow....
That post was...fitting, for someone like you.

I would say eat only +250 calories above maintenance at the most whilst doing sub 5 reps per set.. you'll have to delay big growth in other areas tho

I had big legs before i started lifting. Did SS, got stronger legs, but not much bigger desu. Now a few years later I'm squatting 3pl8 but haven't had to go up in pants size or anything. Not going past 3pl8 cause I don't want bigger quads, I'm fine with the size i got.

Settling for the size you already have

As much as strength training can result in size gains, the main contributor is calories in.

If you eat maintenance you won't grow so much.
And yes, if you keep the reps low you won't grow. As much.

Look at the weight class Olympic weight lifters, most of them don't have overly large or bulky legs, despite being amazingly strong.

But I still want to gain size in my upper body so I can't just completely cut the cals

do pistol squats and high rep moderate weight barbell squats or some shit, i dont know

Ok. Then train your legs in low rep ranges and your upper body in hypertrophic rep ranges.

Like super low volume for your legs. And only do primary movements. Get an Olympic weightlifting programme. Do that for your legs.

Then do some faggy bodybuilder shit for your upper. But make sure you still progressive overload. Basically instead of working to increase your 5rm weight, use your 12rm weight. Strength progress will be suboptimal, but you'll get you some "gains". Especially with all the accessories.

and hill sprints

Yeah do purely strength training for them and also cut down the amount of days you do for them too. So do something like an UpperxLowerxUpperxx
