how can I build my leg muscles and size without weights?
I'm a skinny guy with chicken legs, but I build muscle quite easily. Lately, I haven't had any access to weights or a gym. I was wondering if there's another alternative to building my legs like: dance, sports, calisthenics, etc. I also have heard that doing such things, other than using weights, can help much more for building legs. Can anyone add their two cents, please?
Weights really help a lot for legs. Bodyweight upper body exercises are pretty decent (pullups for back/biceps, pushups for chest/tris, handstand pushups for shoulders) because body weight is a fair bit for your upper body, but its not a lot of weight for your lower body. Nothing will be as good as weights.
My best suggestion would be to focus on one leg at a time. Lunges and one-legged squats.
You could make some weights too. A couple of large containers full of water are pretty heavy.
