You use your legs all day when you walk, run, etc. They basically carry you around for LIFE, so those leg muscles really need extra encouragement to grow since you "flex" them or use them everytime you walk. They are used to being worked to some degree EVERYDAY, so in order to really send the message to them to hypertrophy, that message has to big BIG (moderate heavy) and CONSISTENT (higher than normal reps), to hammer home that idea.

I agree, throw in your occasional heavy set of squats/hacks or whatever just to give a shock and help stimulate strength, but I like to go mod heavy and higher reps (above 10) more like 12-15 and even sometimes up to twenty. Shit on leg extensions/lunges i go up to 30 or so reps.
