Need help adding mass to legs

[13B-MSP]

Would you guys mind posting a routine that you have used to add mass. I can add mass everywhere else but always seem to struggle with legs.

Thanks.

Try them as breathing squats as well. I've done the squats and milk program and just a working set of 3 mentioned above. Both work great but don't cheat yourself by not going atleast parallel.

You could also do front squats as well.

yeah if you are lifting for endurance

legs take longer to respond since they are such a large muscle, so not necessarily.

Leg Extensions to pre exhaust
Leg Press
Lunges
Hack Squats

hm...running uphill helps you gain mass on your legs...thats new to me

[Bronic]

It helped me, my legs got bigger, stronger from the uphill running.
I wasn't running to cut or anything I was just running the hills and it happened. I wasn't lifting during either.

20 rep squats are good in cunjuntion with lifting in a lower rep range 3-12. NOT effective by itself.

I do the same routine and all I do is:


Leg Extensions to WARM UP THE KNEES not to pre-exhaust
Leg Press (HEAVY)
BB Squats (CONCENTRATE ON FORM AND SQUEEZE)
Seated Hamstring curls
SLDL


And eat!!! I mean EAT!!!! Have more than what you normally would eat before training. Like Oatmeal with Banana and Protein Shake, about an hour to hour half before, THEN after, have the same. In order to train hard you need the right amount of fuel in the tank!



EDIT: Save lunges for another time, not mass builder IMO
