If legs workout are left undone and you go on working on all the upper body muscles then it’s considered as an incomplete physique. And not only that, but your physique will also get an odd look later which you and others will not like at all. From lower body thin legs, and the upper body a perfect V-shaped this is not a perfect match of the physique. for giving a manly look to your physique you must train your legs 2 days a week.

Rest is a must for any muscle growth. I suggest 2 days of legs workout in a week then you can perfectly give 48 hours of rest to your leg muscles.
