He stated, “If you’re a guy in men’s classic physique is literally slack off on your leg training and you could compete in men’s physique and look exactly the same.” He explained that the new changes are bogus because in every division the contenders will look the same now, and nobody wants to see them that way, However, It will also affect their training as of now If these individuals skip leg day exercises it won’t harm them.
