The ds9 costume designers had such incredible attention to detail when bringing alien fashion to life. Every decision made is done so to carefully support the established lore. My favourite example of this being the Cardassian military uniform, which emphasises both their devotion to hard work, AND their strong prioritisation of the traditional family structure. This is demonstrated by the fact that if u sit down for just a fucking second the breastplate knife will slice your balls clean off and diy neuter you
Because it’s extremely taxing on your muscles. Quads, hamstrings and your gluts make up the dominant muscle groups in your upper legs, and due to their sheer size in proportion to the rest of your muscles, their muscle fibers demand more oxygen as you invest on every rep. The less oxygen your muscles have; the greater the acid build-up, and your heart rate will increase exponentionally. Due to the amount of effort it takes to build up your upper legs, you will feel extremely exhausted, almost to the point of feeling nauseous.
This is absolutely normal however, but it is far more difficult to promote upper leg muscle growth as opposed to your upper body since the latter requires less oxygen to recover from the acid build-up
