dont train ur legs more than once a wk, anymore expecially if ur natural, will lead to them being overtrained. stick to compund movements, squats should really help them out, but make sure u have the correct form down or itll be all ass and hips working and not ur legs. front squats on the smith machne are very good when wanting to add size, ill recommend this:

squats - 4x15,12,10,8
hacksquats - 3x12
leg ext - 3x12-15

very basic but will get the job done, as u get more advanced, substitute squats for front squats, and every other workout switch up hacks with leg press for 3 x 12-15 reps, high volume always worked for me so try it out and decide for ur self what is the magic split!

that is great advice...

keep it simple mafia, train for the long haul and don't ego train to where you hurt yourself.

see for me squats dont work that great (personal preference), not that i hate doing them because i love loading shit tons of weight on squats but what is the point if u dont feel it in ur legs? i love hacks, heavy extentions, front squats, leg presses, even reverse hacks to bring out the sweep alittle more. try it for ur self and see what works after a while, ull know.

i don't need to try it for myself, i've been squatting and leg pressing for years and if your legs don't grow from that they won't grow.

way back when this is what i used to do:

good warm-up

FIRST SUPERSET
squats 10-8-6-4
hack squats 12-12-12-12
leg curls 12-12-12-12
standing calves 12-12-12-12

then i would pile up on squats and do 4 sets for 1 rep each with the maximum weight i could handle.  then off to the

SECOND SUPERSET
vertical leg press (can be 45-degree as well) 15-15-15
leg extensions 15-15-15
seated calves 15-15-15

man, was i pooped after that...

i guess i cant say that they didnt work but i feel more confident in other leg exercises to build and detail mine, again this is what works for me, and i do squat every now and then, whenever i get the urge to throw around some weight but again i like other exrecises for my mass builder.
