what about front squats?  they worked really well for me in the past.  Try supersetting front squats with a light weight and walking lunges

                no/havent really given them much of a chance  (maybe ill switch it up/back squats/then next time front squats with walking lunges)
  worth a shot     ... thx!

the same thing doesn't work for everybody, but it really made a difference for me.   How many competitors do you guys usually get at your shows in FL?

You've made a lot of improvements in the past couple weeks. Your voice kinda sounds like Titus by the way.

Squats/Squats and more SQUATS!   (lol been trying to bring them up)
  rock bottom/ass to floor!
  then usually hack squats/leg press/leg extensions

 train hamstrings on their own (devote a day just to hammies trying to bring them up as well)
 
Try some giant sets for your legs, 5-6 exercises....you'll be surprised. ;)
Liar!!!!Filt!!!!

Looking good Mike, waist looks real small, shoulders wide, excellent V shape coming in. Legs have more cuts than before. Great job.

Mike keep doing exactly what you are doing for legs. they have responded like crazy to what ever you changed from your last show.  kinda odd that no one suggested anything for your legs when they were worse. now that they have improved fast everyone wants you to try something different.

and i'm having a hard time not being inspired by you and Laura. if i'm not careful you guys might motivate me into training again!!
