Am I a sadist?

We all have those parts of the body that we love or hate to train. Me personally, I hate training the upper body. Nothing honestly to do with the the old fuel cell that is my back, but more of the fact that no matter what I do, I find it hard to bulk up in the upper body.

Now, I have always hoped that I would look something along the lines of one of the best known male gymnastic greats Mr Nikolai Andrianov who unfortunately passed away last year. To top it all off, I always wanted to do gymnastics after watching him compete in the Olympics as a youngster. But not matter what I do, I tend to tone moreso than bulk. The main problem with this is, because of my back being operated on, and having high possibilities of rotator cuff injuries, I can't do the big gun creating weights.

On the other hand though, I love doing legs. Even with a temporary hip socket and joint, I used to love doing anything that got the legs moving, cycling, track and field, soccer(football), field hockey and did I mention cycling? No, ok and cycling. No matter what I do with legs, they just bulk up in no time. Once a week, I do a leg workout comprising of Lunge Squats, Regular Squats, Ballet Squats, Adductor and Abductor sets, Leg Extensions and seated calf raises. If it wasn't for the fact that pants are hard enough to find that fit cyclist legs, I would do this 2 times a week!

What is your favourite area to work, and what exercises do you find gets the look you want? If you want to throw in any ideas, feel free. An old mutant never learns new tricks by sticking his head inside a hole in the ground after all.
