Re: Hypertrophy in Quads

For me the only thing that seems to work is to go with heavy weights, 3 times over a 2 week period. This would follow a monday/friday week one, thenwednesday week 2, repeating.

heavy squats first, then leg press, followed by extension and curls.

On the squat and leg press increase max weight when 5 reps done with current max.

When i had one , i also found that banging away on a tri - stepper a couple of times a week , building upto 3500+ steps on max resistance,helped build them up. Don't know if this is because this was hitting the slow twitch fibres as opposed to the fast twitch hit on squats/press, or i may be talking B*****ks, but it worked for me.
