I don't dispute you heard it on YouTube. I am just saying he did a lot of squatting. He talks about it all the time (along with nosebleeds from taking a lot of anadrol preworkout and then squatting, and his comment at the time was "Cool!").
I am just saying - don't take from this that he built up his legs from going to the extreme that you have taken from what he said, which is leg press only, no squat. That does not honestly represent how he built his legs, regardless of how you are interpreting one comment in a Youtube video.

Idk I just know said said on his leg workout video he built the majority of his legs with leg press.

Yeah, I have seen it. Like I said, I don't doubt you saw the comment, but the guy squatted, and he squatted a lot in the early years. And he does not skip them now.

And this one is great if you want to see him more than half a decade younger with no beard squatting until he gets sick

So this is all a long way of saying, If you want to do what Seth Feroce did, leg press only is not the way to go.
Just throwing a little context in.

Spot on, Sir. He also said it was a habit to slam three anadrol on leg day and squat until his nose bled regularly. That's ONE way to do it but, I'll pass. For posterity, and the readers here, I just want to say they they should watch the podcasts and interviews with Seth where he's open and honest about how hard he pushed it (if you haven't already is all I'm saying). If you want to be like that guy, you gotta pull out all the stops which might lead to self preservation. Frankly, he's pretty lucky to be as healthy as he is right now (IMHO).
This also needs to be approached knowing Seth is only 5'5".
Us tall guys have to be careful when doing leg workouts.
I hate leg presses. I've never had the opportunity to use a pendulum squat machine which looks like a much better alternative.
Belt squats are fantastic, and regular barbell squats after I'm well warmed up with safety in mind work with a critical eye on form.
When I see a midget like Seth with thick legs that's fine it's almost predictable, but when I see someone 6'5" with huge legs that's another discussion.

This is like when someone runs 10 years of heavy cycles, then has been on trt for a year, and says there physique was built on just trt doses.
There is something admirable to be said abt an extremist like that. Dude is a die hard and he wouldn’t even had to have competed to gain fans

Try hitting a machine only leg day. It can be fucking killer! Hack squat, leg press, hamstring curls, leg extensions etc. What a luxurious world we live in!

I’m not trashing him. Maybe I could have worded that better. He’s a next level perfectionist. I admire him.
Oh ok. Yeah. Cool.
What a silly ass comment. This “it’s easy for that guy but hard for me because” shit has to go.
Leg routine yesterday blasted quads

Agreed. I thought the whole reason we did this was because it was hard. If it was easy, everyone would do it.
I get what I think he means, though. Being tall does make symmetry harder to achieve with longer limbs but, that’s really just a chance to shine. Once you get huge…you’re a monster.
All in all, if Seth were seven feet tall, I think he’d still have hit the proportions he wanted to. It’s his mind he pushed. His body just did what he told it to do.

Have we seen in really tall bodybuilders since Lou Ferrigno?
And he was only 6'5"
I definitely think shorter bodybuilders fill out faster. That is not the same thing as saying that it is "easy."
I am only 6 feet. At my heaviest I was in the 250s (off season, not stage weight). While I won't deny that I was large and any normies looking at me could tell, as they would put it, I spend a lot of time in the gym, I did not have the look of a "real" bodybuilder, somebody like @Mac11wildcat
I figured I would need to be 280-290 off season to pull that off, and had some doubts about that, too. At my age, I decided to stop pushing for massive body size. The health effects at 250 were quite bad enough, and keeping them going long term struck me as an extraordinarily bad idea.
So at 7 feet, or 6 feet 8, or anything ridiculous like that, bodyweight is going to be ridiculously high to have the same thickness as a Mac11Wildcat or a Seth Feroce in his prime. And no, it is not the same fr 6'8" guy to get up near 400 pounds as it is for a 5'5" guy to be 220-230.
There is a reason there is a sweet spot in height for bodybuilding (around 5'9" maybe)?
With that having been said, "us tall guys" (the phrase used above) gotta put in the work if we want thick legs. Sitting around with excuses and avoiding certain exercises is not going to make them grow.

Sorry I used a bit of hyperbole but, I think I’m on the same page as you. I wasn’t really talking about competing so much as achieving gym bro goals. I’d have to agree that there’s a sweet spot for competitors. I just don’t like the “whoa is me attitude” some folks display. That said, I don’t think anyone in this thread took that approach. I just think we all know one in real life.
