in upper body daya I can leave the gym basically dry. leg day though I’m drenched

both days I push to or close to failure

roughly same amount of time

is it just because legs haveuch more muscle mass?

    Your quadriceps are the largest muscles in your body (the second largest being your lattisimus dorsi). That’s why squats are often considered to be the most effective exercise you can do for weight loss and muscle building.

    It’s understandable that working the largest muscles in your body would cause you to potentially sweat more profusely than working your other muscles, though the amount you sweat is the result of a myriad of factors like genetics and overall health.
