Full range of motion for high reps..and add a lot of GH to your current stack..that’s really it

Seems like several of them support my methodology higher reps whatever exercise works for you
-
not one of them says leg extensions are better than squats. you mong.
again its Brian time take a single sentence out of context and say it was you all along.

Your methodology is eating like a slob, pinning your ass, and wearing your wifes' undies for the world to see online.

I'm going with heavy weight and lower reps then
-
you have to be aware of where your hips are - engage those at start and you'll feel your quads working - keep the tension on them and they grow
too many bad assess do the ego things - load up squats , load up leg press , bust out reps slinging up weight - no feel on the muscles - just hope that someone will notice you and consider you not a failure at life as a man
work the muscle not your ego and you'll have nice legs

You want big legs?
Pick the right parents.

HA HA support your methodology....
This from the guy who does 40reps on leg extensions and its fine...
but 15 reps on a squat has him huffing and puffing worse than an asthmatic with COPD...because anything over 8 reps is "cardio"

I knew some professional male dancers (no homo) and some of them had huge quads. So 4 to 6 hours dance practice every day in a studio should do the trick.
Most of them actually hated having big quads though, but yeah it's genetics.
-
I'm actually thinking of getting a sissy squat bench for my home Gym.
Done properly these really blast the Quads.
Back squats with a heavy bar are not as productive as people think.
These days I'm going more for quality training not ego lifting
-
Obviously you've got to be careful when beginning but why crush your spine with massive loads with a barbell.
Superb results can be had from this variation.

I cycle a lot but have quite thick legs from nature. Not saying Olympia Quads or anything but from nature a good solid base.
Really going to concentrate on..
Sissy squats
Barbell hacks
Leg curls

I don’t squat, or do much heavy legs anymore because of back issues, but I do ride a bike and I believe it has helped me maintain some size and definition in the legs.

Heavy squats are great when you’re young, but the exercise just doesn’t age well.
You’re not building big legs when your back and knees are shot.

Been doing those ^^ while the lower back heals up, harder than they look.
Also got a new belt squat (finally got a real leg day on it tomorrow), no lower back compression with those...
I also built an attachment for my smith-machine, where I can do vertical leg-presses in it.

Really I'm approaching 63 & deep full squat over 400Lbs in training
As far back & knees being shot that can be at any age .
-
I can’t say what grows big quads for myself as I don’t and never have had them but from what I’ve seen with guys I know and a good friend of mine who has 30”+ legs high rep squats and leg extensions build big muscular quads.

For me Front squats / Back squats & leg press .
Sometimes lower power reps on the squats & sometimes higher 15/20
Leg press 8 - 30+ reps
Did have just under 30inch thighs now around 28.5
age sucks.

I’d say 28.5” quads at 63 or any age is very impressive my friend.

You’re an exception. Very few are still doing that.
From what I’ve seen in gyms over the years, most people shouldn’t be squatting it all as their form is so horrible as a result of using too much.

then it's not the weight, nor the movement, it's just the individual. My first SC coach (who trained under john lear rip) wouldn't let us get under a barbell until we were able to overhead squat, that's probably a good rule of thumb to follow. if you don't have the ankle\hip mobility\stability to OH squat, you shouldn't barbell squat with any kind of substantial weight

There’s also the wear and tear issue that comes with age. No one escapes that.

Use more high rep hack squats. Developing the lower quad down at the knee gives the appearance of much bigger looking legs.

you should also do the opposite and band the hack squat and overload the legs in the stretched position, it's hard to train quads fully stretched and easy to do it fully contracted

I have one in my home gym that is actually how I tore the meniscus and destroyed both knees when I started getting back into training that is how I wound up unable to walk

please go back to doing them

For me ass to grass squats work best, even with fewer sets than other exercises and mild loads. Reps on the high.
I am "blessed" with short femurs so squatting feels very natural for me.

That's a cool idea
did you guys use any kind of weight or was it with something like a pvc pipe ?

you start with red band to reinforce the technique then i wanna say it was a mop stick then bar->bar+weights
-
imo the best way to properly learn how to engage the quads is to put elastic bands behind your knees and perform bw squats at first, then progressively add weight ( with a kettlebell ) and use stiffer bands.
You may start with one banded leg or directly go with both

when the motor control pattern is learned and sensory connections are created, you can move on to more traditional exercices

makes sense
thanks

Just do the basics.
Upper legs:
High bar squats
Hack squats
Leg press
Leg extensions
Leg curls
Calves:
Standing calf raise
Seated calf raise
Tib raise

Puts massive pressure on knee joint.

I do these when I have clients/athletes that I do ACL rehabs for. TKE’s (Terminal Knee Extension)

Haha, not sure that narrows it down, mate. That's half the board.

Squats and deadlifts is all you need

The Queer Bald Faggott Bianca Butt Plug has repeatedly tried that already ::)

stretch the Quads :)
got the right idea

I get decent quad pumps when I deadlift
Guess I have a "quad dominant" style. My technique looks more or less like this:

The best way is to stay away from heavy free weights and leave your ego at the door

if i fart on my bench...it´s my fart 8)
taking a shit in the gym is an ordeal too...i always took wet wipes to the gym. I have a sensitive ring piece. always cheap paper in the gym. :-\

My Piles play up now and again.. not sure what Degree i have but i think after watching the video below i would guess a 2nd degree. the wet wipes are bio ones & a soothing effect on my ring piece. I avoid shitting in public toilets & would rather crap behind a tree ;D
infact i did do this a couple of times when i was out running.. always have a packet of wet ones with you
thankfully i do not have a prolapsed anus like mentioned in the video...that must be very painful :-X
