How do i get defined legs?

[naominoodles]

Hi
Since starting a heavy lifting plan my legs have definitely got stronger, but they're still not defined at all. I use our gym at work and they only have dumbbells not barbells which is a pain, but I'm still trying to lift as heavy as I can. At the moment I do:

Static lunges holding weights
Stiff legged deadlifts
Leg extension machine
Hamstring curls on swiss ball
Kettlebell swings
Finished off with 50 squats with a bulgarian bag

Should i be including seperate inner / outer thigh exercises? And i do this only once a week, should i increase it to 2? I lift as heavy as poss and always have doms the following day.

Am determined to have strong, RIPPED thighs for summer!!

Thanks

Being a woman is counterproductive for defined legs. You'll notice significant muscle gain with heavy squat and heavier full ROM leg press. The vastus lateralis (outside of thigh) and vastus medialus ( round one by your knee cap) are unmistakable on a woman who lifts heavy! 8-10 rep on legs. Up to 15 rep max. The vastus femoralis will likely never be naturally 'visible'. Don't worry tho. Lift heavy and often. It'll come.

If you can do 50 reps its not heavy. By 8 you should be drenched in sweat on work sets. Up it to 2 times a week if you can handle it.

Squats and deadlifts - they are the king and queen of leg exercises and should be done heavy - I never do a weight I can do more than 5 reps with

Eat less.

If you want to lose fat, you have to eat less. Calories Used > Calories Consumed.

Anyone telling you otherwise is a fukcing idiot.
