Q about lower vs. upper body

[KC5689]

Ok so I didn't know how to word this subject but here's my question:

I love doing your rotations and I have chosen ones lately that really have given me some good definition in my upper body. However, I need a lot of help w/ my lower body. It seems that working my legs once a week is not enough (also I still need to clean up my diet which has been a huge challenge). There are many rotation that you've created that really work the lower body but the upper is not worked as much and I'm afraid that I'll loose some of my definition, especially if I do it for 8-12 weeks.

So I guess my question is how do I get my legs in shape without loosing my upper strength gains?

Hi KC5689! You actually answered your own question. If you are not getting the results that you are looking for after giving your legs a fair shot at one time a week then it is time to try two times a week for lower body. If you know that your diet is not as clean as it could be, then just making that change will show great improvements in your definition. So for starters add a second leg day to increase your lower body strength give your diet more focus to bring out your definition. That should be enough initial change to provoke a response. Then after 4 weeks see where you stand before making more changes.

Let me know how you progress. Good Luck

Thanks for answering Cathe! So should I do one of your overall strength building rotations and just add an extra leg day? I actually started your Aug 04 (Fat burning & shaping the legs & glutes) rotation but I'm wondering if I should do one that still focuses on my upper body as well.
