Every single bodyweight athlete at some point will have to face one tough dilemma. To train legs or not to train. The subject on first sight as simple and obvious is still one of more controversial themes within and outside calisthenics circles. On one hand you got people doing crazy skills who win trophies and get likes on instagram who don’t really bother to train their lower body. On the other you got people who go as far as devaluing or even disregarding their achievements by saying that everyone could do it with no legs or better to say, chicken legs. In the middle you can find rare individuals that display both great skill ability and heavy strong legs, who seem to have a lot of respect in the community, but are rather a rare exception. You see, as calisthenics athletes, we have certainly more excuses to justify skipping lower body training, in comparison to for instance bodybuilders. And as we all know the origins of chicken legs accusations come exactly from this niche. At the end of the day unlike for them performance is the number one goal we chase, and training legs can surely negatively impact our outcomes. Is there a right choice to make in this situation? How accurate are the arguments on both sides, and are there things to consider before making a decision? As calisthenics athlete - To train legs or not to train? Let’s try to find out today, enjoy…
