Cutting the legs for competition

Although my upper body has dialed in tremendously, my legs lack the hardness and cuts that I need in order to place in a bodybuilding competition. Any advice as to how to cut the legs up in the next ten weeks?

I suspect your legs need more musclebuilding work and not last-minute cutting-up techniques. I’d continue healthy, productive leg training and lighten up the last week to drop a few pounds of water-weight often held in thighs.

Flexing thighs intensely in various poses regularly between now and show time should help delineate the muscles, and familiarize you with their action and potential.

The journey continues… Godspeed… DD
