Leg building
Not sure where you got the idea to up your reps. For mass, push enough weight to exhaust at 8-12 reps and hit the same muscle group hard with the best exercise type first ( in this case, squats ) followed by supplementals ( leg press, hack squats, calf lifts ) ... leaving shaping for last ( leg extensions, curls ). If you do it right, you'll be too sore to walk much on day two afterward. After leg day, rest a solid two days. Rest is vital. Do leg day once a week, but you can do calf lifts at somewhat higher reps twice a week since it's a different kind of tissue.
See this site's articles for great advice on leg workouts.
