Revising Waterbury Method

[spawn]

Hello everyone,

I've been working out for 3 years. I'm 25 yrs old, 1.80 and 161 lbs (I'm trying to gain 10 lbs more). My goal is basically stay fit.

Can I revise Waterbury Method? I mean can I extract leg and squat exercises and insert some chest, biceps or triceps exercises? For example can I extract BB Back Squats and insert concentration or seated triceps press? I've never worked legs and squats. I know that it is not right but I want to work my upper body mainly.

Thank you

no...you wont get any bigger without training legs

Nothing looks more ridiculous than those guys who have a big upper body then little toothpicks to stand on. That's not attractive, it's ridiculous. Attractiveness is based on proportions and symmetry, not just having a big chest and arms...

Well, my legs size are OK. Because I was in mountain bike team. I don't have big shoulders so it is not looking like bad. Anyway, I think I can make some leg exercises.

Thank you for replies.

That's the operative word, was. You could end up losing muscle, and then getting some fat gain back in the Legs, if you're not working them, or doing resistance stuff liike Mountain bike training.

So you'll put on upper body muscle, and decrease lower body muscle, possibly causing mild postural, movement or joint issues in later life.

So if a good routine has Legs in it, keep it in every time.
