Same here....when I first started lifting, I boxed so I trained only legs for over a year straight. I didn't want to do anything to reduce flexibility of my upper body and shoulders so I could keep covered up.
But my legs happened to be my best body part, so I was bottom heavy forever before my upper body caught up. Now I have to only hit them hard about every 8-10 days as if I train them more frequently, they start over shadowing my upper body.
Any other leg training I do through the week is flexibility work and just moving some blood around.
I still have issues with pants that fit. Waist is about 30"....but I have to wear a 34-36" waist in a relaxed style jean to fit my legs comfortably and have good mobility.
