Re: Hypertrophy in Quads
Going heavy on squats then plenty of uphill treadmill work at 12% really seemed to bring mine on. I guess i must have lots of slow twitch fibres as can't sprint for sh1t either

Cheers

Re: Hypertrophy in Quads
I'd say intensity for me but everyone seems to respond differently and it's just a case of finding what works for you.

Re: Hypertrophy in Quads
i cant do continous reps due to back probs,but i`ve found that doing 20 singles with as much rest as i need in between with as much weight as i can lift works.

does anyone think theres a difference between training your legs(or any body parts i guess)naturally and assisted?
i`m not a volume fan for natties.

Re: Hypertrophy in Quads
Intensity purely for the fact that anything else "for me" appears to diminish them before my eyes.

Re: Hypertrophy in Quads
Genetics.

I have 27-28 inch vascular quads and havent trained them directly for 18 months give or take a few.

I know other lads who have freak body parts (18inch arms) and similarly pay little attention to them.

Growth is a combination of many factors. One cant be given priority. It's like asking which is the most important factor to prolong life span or improving health.

One choice only
Bitch, this is a very nice thought provoked thread.
No offence on the bitch comment, I said that cuz I respect you, and because I love you`, in a non gay fag way ok?....

Ok, I have seen guys get awesome legs do only squats, nice and deep, best legs I ever saw was from this.
Seen dudes do many reps and get huge quads.
Saw a buddy of mine do some bicycle off road stuff and have the most hugest quads I ever saw.
Genetics?
Commitment?

Who knows, look at elite bicyclists, their legs look good.
Sprinters (running), their legs look awesome.

Id suggest there are many variables.
If I had to guess, intensity would be the key here.

As the say scott 'No homo'

Which option did you go for? intensity?

Thanks for all the suggestions so far from people

I think I am aiming this at the non genetically gifted as a whole
