Looking at your quads...YOU DON'T NEED TO.

[GUARDIAN]

what weight do you rep in?

185-225 for front squats

380 for leg press

i dont do back squats anymore.

i just try to keep the reps in the 12-15 range off cycle and 8-12 on and really concentrate on the muscle.

Very interesting. I was doing squats last week and was totally thinking that I could grow a ton without having to squat a kagillion pounds. I found that a little higher reps on the squats totally gets your legs on fire if you really concentrate the muscle. It's legs day today for me.

You look at byciclist and some have huge quads and have never squatted probably. I'm gonna start going higher rep and see how that works out.

My legs can take it. I can rep easily....relatively speaking...it hurts like a bitch, but i can do it...it's the heavy weight that I can't lift....

I can go heavy with anything, except for squats and deads, i rep with medium weights.

I dont even rep with that kind of weight.

higher reps of legs = higher chance of hypertrophy
At least it feels that way to me!
