sup bros I need some help getting my legs bigger. I squat heavey and low, i leg press heavy with full motion, i do lunges , extensions, hacks...you name it i do it for legs. My hams grow faster than my quads...it just seems like i cant get my legs thick like a want them, there cut as hell but i need them just bigger. my upper quads are thick but lower quads need to be brought up. what should i do and tips or tricks? and o yea i alternate one week i do legs twice..tues and friday and then the next week i do legs once and back twice. lower back tues and upper saturday, legs friday.
You seem to be doing enough
I was going to suggest lunges but you already do em.
Have you tried doing dumbbell lunges,do six reps per leg before changing out to the other leg.

yea thats what i do for lunges , i just think i gotta start doin lunges twice a week ..i train legs so hard i get sick everytime after. It sucks how slow they take to grow..o well just gotta keep blastin them i guess.
Lower legs are used the most when knees are completely bent...ATG squats if knees can handle it...I started doing wide stance squats which helped hugely. I also do 3/4 of the way up too to keep the resistance on my quads.
yea wide stance squats i havent done those for a while il start addin them in thanks and im thinkin more front squats as well. See one of the reasons i think i get more upper leg size is because when i do my squats i go LOW like below parallel, you think that may be the reason, thats just how i was taught to perform squats.
the lower u go the more u hit the lower quads...I am in need of more low inner quad(tear drop) definition and I got improvement with the wide stance squats. Also when i do leg extensions I vary the degree of stretch to the quad to keep resistance constant by going 3/4 down...to getting the full stretch in with total bend...lean back a bit to get a better stretch in...also flex the muscle for at least 30seconds after the set to keep the blood in there...
yea thats exactly were i need improvement, when you do the wide stance squats do you go full parallel and also do you use a smith machine for those rather than barbell? For leg extensions i usually change my feet position, like il point them inwards or outwards...im going to try the 3/4 motion you said though..thanks for the advice

hit your legs eod do 8 sets than go home , i got my friend to do this and he disn't believe me from one comp to another (9 months ) he put on 2.25 inches dieted ..... lunges standing and walking / sqauts / leg extionson , and ham curls ,(mix it up) no leg press ..... anyone wants to argue my legs are an honest 28 inches lean and i can do the splits to the floor in jeans.. this is what i did

For the 8 sets did you go heavy or moderate? How many reps did you do?
As for the wide stance I go down as far as possible but it gets hard to go deep b/c hip position.-.you will see when you try. Or just try without wt. Hips dont allow you to bend too much beyond parallel. Also bring the wt down ...you wont be as strong as narrow stance and your groin will thank you.. I learned the hard way...but Brman did warn me...

12-15 reps making last three hard to do (heaviness wise)
