IT’S NO SECRET: Guys like to work their legs about as much as they want to hear girls gush about Brad Pitt. But even that pretty boy is walking on twigs. In fact, BP’s legs are so skinny, the director of his upcoming movie Troy called in a body double–which is strangely satisfying. Trouble is, if the poster boy of the ab fad doesn’t get a pass on lower-body development, no one does.

But you don’t have to sacrifice your trophy muscles–chest, shoulders, and arms–to fit in some hard-core leg time. Just use this simple plan. It’s designed to build your lower body in just five moves per workout while hitting your mirror muscles faster and more effectively than ever. So you’ll fix your sticks and work the rest of your body without busting your ass for hours.
The best part? After this workout, the phrase “You’re no Brad Pitt” will take on a whole new meaning. (At least to you.)

HOW TO DO IT Perform each workout once a week for four weeks, doing Workout 1 (lower body) and Workout 2 (upper body) on consecutive days, resting a day or two, then completing Workout 3 (lower body) and Workout 4 (upper body) on consecutive days.

Repetitions and weights: Use the heaviest weight possible that allows you to complete all the prescribed repetitions for each set of each exercise.
