I have been at it for a month. My Upper body workouts are doing great. I feel Sore. With my lower body workouts Im not feeling it at all. My regiment is simple. It may be wrong but here is my program
Quads Leg extension Reps 12 10 8 6 rest in between rest. 12 reps for leg press then leg extension again till I can no longer attempt
Ham- DB Deadlifts lying curls same as quad
Calves- Angled Calf raises and extensions
Is it just harder to work the legs because of the walking we do? I blew many more months without education. I just dont want to waist that time again.
Thanks for any help.

It's probably your exercise selection. The leg curls and extensions are isolation movements and should only be used to finish your legs off after doing compounds, if you need them at all. db deadlifts aren't going to let the legs lifts what they are capable of, try a bb and i guarantee you'll lift FAR more and then there's something wrong if your muscles don't feel fatigued. The leg press isn't a bad movement, but back or front squats would do you better because the leg press takes stabilizers mostly out of the equation. I guarantee if you do 3x10 or 5x5 front/back squats and deadlifts (conventional or sumo style) your legs will feel it. If you have the energy left, then throw in some leg press or lunges.

hit it twice a week and go as much as heavy as you can. I have big leg and it worked, well still working.
also try low bar squat if you haven't, it hits your ham and glute pretty good. I'm doing low bar squat currently and been doing for year+. you probably want to add sitted ham curl too.
my max squat is about 380pds by the way.Dymatize ISO-100 protein: 25g protein, 1 carb, 0 fat, 0 lactose, 0 sugar
That's all you need.
