[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you strengthen your legs? Cardio or weights? Just curious because I feel like lack of cardio/endurance takes out more people than those that just lift weights. [/quote]

Leg press, squats, romanian deadlifts, calf raises, Bulgarian split squats, and isometric wall squats with two 45 lb plates on my lap are my mains.  Other stuff like farmer's walks, lunges, quad extensions, leg curls, mule kicks etc. are accessory workouts.

I mean yeah, it's a mix of cardio and strength for crushing steps, but if you've gone up stairs of crazy temples in Asia before for sight seeing, your legs start burning a lot and it makes many people stop. You can reduce your cardio by going up slower, but your muscles have to do the same amount of work no matter what. I basically don't feel anything going up steep stairs anymore compared to when I hardly did leg workouts when just going up stairs made my legs burn. Like it is kinda crazy how I feel nothing going up stairs now because of iron quads glutes and hamstrings.  And yes, I easily crush Bethesda and all metro stations now too.  Literally don't feel anything going up them. [/quote]
