A great leg coumpound set
This has brought me some great gains in my quad development and separation and I thought you ladies might want to try it. This is based on the principle of pre-exhausting your muscle.
Drop sets of leg extensions immediatly followed by sissy squats. Or, immeditaly followed by barbell squats.
It's a real burner

Sissy Squat
It would have to be one of the most un-natural movements for an exercise ever... G'ah...!!

No more than lifting with bad form.
Sissy squats are perfectly fine.

I don't give a $*** if I made you a better man. It's not a woman's job to be consumed and invaded and spat out so that some freakin' man can evolve.

I agree. Still, they suck to actually do.

I love drops sets of leg extensions, I love that burning feeling!!!
I usually follow them up with Hack squats tho which I find effective!

This routine added the most mass to my legs (had to quit it cause of previous knee injuries causin me grief...be forwarned): 10 min. warm up (elliptical, treadmill, etc.), two sets of light weight leg curls for twenty. Four sets of decending rep, increased weight free or smith machine squats (ie: 135 for 20 reps, 185 for 18, 205 for 16, 255 for 14 {ish}). Three sets of ten rep stiff legged deadlifts (romanian deadlifts) w/ perfect form. Two sets of varying foot position leg press (high rep)(ie: Neutral placement on the pad, about half way between the top and bottom, toes slightly rotated out, as wide as you can on the pad, 20 rep. Immediatly followed with the feet as high up on the pad as possible, toes pointed up, feet approx. four inches appart for 10 reps). go light on the weight. Trust me it's enough. Finish with light weight leg ext. and some calf of your choice.
As I said this routine added the most size, BUT made a friend (who exercises constantly, runs three miles a day, and never got sore in his legs) walk like a penguin for a week. Be careful and know your limits when attempting this routine. I myself only do this once in a while to break a plateu.

Absolutely.
Sissys are a great alternative to leg extensions and hit the quads from top to bottom.
They look funny but work great and are not a "injure yourself" exercise unless you make a conscious effort.
