legs that wont grow....

[sessa]

Just to add I am a chick with shitty genetics. I am a ecto so I know how you feel. Don't train them more then 1x a week unless you are taking some serious juice and even then I would just stick to killing them 1x a week

i could eat more but then the gains would not be much more muscle than

they already are.

So, amuse me...just for shits and giggles, tell me how many grams of protein, carbs, fats you're taking in on an average day. Oh, and tell me how much you weigh too.

While i have some avid helpers in this thread how would i best shock my triceps into growth? They are strong but leveling out to a standstill in strength.

Guess that depends on what you've been doing in the past for them. What have you been doing the last three months or so that hasn't been working as well as you would have hoped?

when I can't get any stronger on an exercise (within a certain rep range), I switch to a different exercise and get as strong as I possibly can on that exercise. Then when I stall again, I find another exercise. You'll get bigger doing that.

Is the desired rep range dependent on the movement? Im sure you have ones that yeilded the best results...

Right now I'm getting good results with a range of 12-20 reps, rest-paused...doing DC training.

^^^ that right there can do wonders

ceo, I think we are all guilty of trying to effect change without making change in itself. I have definately been guilty of this as far as resistance training is concerned. I agree with your theory of implimenting a change of exercise & or rep ranges/weights to effect change. I am trying to impliment this into my training & have noticed results where in the past I did not.

For increased leg strength and size, I have always found mixing high rep squat and heavy weight squat days to be ideal for me. Also, you may want to focus just as hard on heavy deadlifts and variations of the olympic lifts as most people have severly underdeveloped hamstrings.
