Squats
2 plates (each side) 15 reps
2.25 plates 12 reps
2.25 plates 10 reps
3 plates 8 reps
3.25 plates 8 reps
Front squats
3 sets to failure, usually at least 2 - 2.25 plates
Then leg extensions
4-5 sets to failure
Right now I'm 5'.7", 168. I lost some weight :cry: Here's my problem... I'm getting frustrated because I can see my strength gains in my legs cause I can leg press, squat and dead lift heavier weight. But I don't feel I'm building that much mass/width in my quads. I do my squats pretty deep. I drop my butt pass parallel and I do my front squats even deeper. Am I going too heavy? If I lighten the weight and go for higher reps is that better for building mass? Are hack squats better for building mass?
Suggestions?
I would do squats first. Check your intensity. If your not intense with legs they won't grow. I hate to say this but the statement am I goin too heavy is herasy. Strenght builds size stated very simplicitly. I think it could be your intensity. Also check out the post "who wants quads". There is a decent workout there you may want to try.

I've already changed my leg routine and my legs have good size. My post was because they're not freakishly massively huge like I want them but I'll get them there. :)
