Is this enough for my legs?

[AgnosticMonkey]

I have skinny legs and have been trying to add mass to them since I started working out 7 months ago.

I usually workout my legs once a week and its usually like this. Not really impressed with my results so far. I feel like my arms are progressing way faster than my legs. What do I need to change?

Calf raise
1 X 20 (90 lbs)
1 X 20 (110 lbs)
1 X 20 (110 lbs)

Leg extension
1 X 20 (70 lbs)
1 X 16 (90 lbs)
1 X 12 (110 lbs)

Leg Press
1 X 16 (110 lbs)
1 X 14 (130 lbs)
1 X 12 (150 lbs)
1 X 10 (150 lbs)

Lying Leg Curl
1 X 20 (90 lbs)
1 X 16 (100 lbs)
1 X 12 (110 lbs)

Depends on your goal, and how long you expect to take to get there.








If you want to have the legs of a bodybuilder, you'll have to train them as such, and change just about everything you're currently doing. Have a look here:




Ironwill2008's Basic Leg Routine for Bodybuilders
--------------------------------------------------

Barbell Squat 4 sets of 6-8 reps (not counting warm-up sets)

Leg Press 3x10-12

Barbell Lunge 3x6-8

Romanian Deadlift 3x6-8

Leg curl 3x10-12


Calves can be done on a separate day, with an upper-body part.

Leg Press Calf Raise 3x10-12

Seated Calf Raise 3x12




This routine is to be done once a week. On all exercises, work to increase the weight
lifted, with good form/full ROM, week-to-week, within the rep ranges listed.


Example:
For Squats, after warm-ups, load the bar with a weight with which you can get 6 good reps on all 4 sets. Stay at this weight until you can Squat it for 4x8, at which time you'll add enough weight to the bar (try 10 pounds) to drop you back to 4x6. Progress this new load up to 4x8, and then add more weight the following week, and so on.

Use this same progression scheme for all exercises.

i started training my legs twice a week and that helped put size on them. think about it this way, you're training your upper body 3-4 times a week and legs once... destined to lag. i suggest doing squats too
