Hey all, I've heard from some that Squats are best for adding size but if you want definition you need to do Leg Extensions. Is this correct? Does anyone have any input for someone trying to achieve some definition on their legs? Thanks in advance.

Definition is really only going to come with the loss of bodyfat. Do all your leg exercises, build some size and stregth, then cut up, and you'll have defined muscular legs.
I know it sounds weird but shaving your body hair and injecting testicle shrinking substances into your butt actually makes you less of a man.

size = definition. its your bodyfat level that determines how 'defined' you are

To hit different areas of the leg muscles, adjust the angle of your feet.
For example, while toes pointed in while doing leg extensions will hit the outer sweep of your quad, and vice versa.
Toes pointed in while doing leg curls will hit the inside of your hams.
Toes pointed out while doing calves will hit the medial head of the gastrocnemius."You're an idiot. It puts stress on the knees? IT'S SUPPOSED TO PUT STRESS ON THE KNEES, THAT'S HOW THEY GET STRONGER." -fattony

Stationary. Step backwards, then come back up to starting position. You can alternate between legs each rep or do one leg at a time.Originally Posted by microrahsheen

High rep leg extensions(20-25 reps), flex at the top. Strip sets on extensions also great.

Great suggestions.
I will try to: improve on my diet, increase rep. numbers, adjust position/angle on my feet, and incorporate new squat/lunge techniques. Wow, it looks like I have my work cut out for me.
