are you squatting, or just using machines?

 

[drsketch]

Squats
Leg extensions
Leg curls
Leg press
Straight leg deads

Every week. You may want to squat twice a week even. But spread it out.

Move the rep range up. Legs are slightly different in that a little higher rep range will produce awesome growth. If you stay low rep and heavy, you'll get the power and strength, but not maximum growth per-se.

train in the 10-15 rep range, back off the weight on the squat by 20% or so and go deep with the squats.

All I know is, if my legs don't burn to the point of real pain, I'm not pushing it hard enough. A little bit higher rep range will allow all the meat(how i think of it) around the thighs to get burned to an oblivion.

When I finish squatting, I can't walk straight for half an hour.


Guardian has huge ass legs and he deosn't train very heavy, so he told me last week.

SQUATS SQUATS and more SQUATS. Dont be afraid of using higher reps.

What is your routine like? More importanly your diet?

It sounds like you've been doing a pretty decent Bodybuilder's routine. If that hasn't been working for you, I would recommend trying a strength training routine, specifically Madcow's 5x5 program. There are a ton of stickys in this forum over it.

I had the same problem, and out of desperation, I finally made the switch. Afterwards, size and strength seemed to start flying at me from nowhere.

Whatever you do, good luck bro.

squats and legpress, leg curl, romanian u name it i do it.
im on a bulking diet...everything except my legs is growing. always doing 12-14 sets for quads and 10-12 for hams.
i guess ill change my rep range

When squatting are you using correct form? Breaking 90 degree angle preferably going to bucket?

to add to the other advice here...when you're done training your legs, do some extreme fascia stretching for them. hold a painful stretch for 60 seconds.
