I have just completed my 7th contest, recently, the Nevada State Bodybuilding Championships. I placed third, there were some big girls there. My problem is my legs werent lean enough. What do I do? I need help! Please. Thanks Julezz69

Diet, cardio and loooots of leg work out. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

The legs of sprinters are different thou and bigger than the legs of marathoniens (working the muscle and its fibres differently). But I'm not saying that as a BB you should completely avoid running 'cause that's not true. Running is great cardio but as long as you are not preparing yourself for a marathon, your legs should be okey. Now julezz, where are you?!! -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

I naturally have muscular legs. What I plan to do is higher reps, lower the weight. 15-20 reps. I'm use to heavy weight less reps in my leg workouts. I'm also going to be stricter on my precontest diet. Instead of 8 weeks out, I'm gonna start 10 weeks.Good Luck FitnessFreak7
