I think that's likely everyone's goal, I know its mine!

I'm extremely happy, been trying to build my leg strength back after taking over a year off from training them cause of back injury. When I recently started back I struggled with 135lb. This morning I did 225 for 12 reps like it was nothing, then 275 for 6 reps, fairly easy. I could've done more reps, and more weight, but I'm gonna take it easy and make for sure I dont push it too fast. My legs and ass are growing, I'm very happy bout that!

No injury on my part in fact back is the strongest in the chain when it comes to squats, I did 225 too last time 8-ish reps hope to push 275 tomorrow.

Before gym days I could hardly do 125 for a few reps but the leg pressing helped bringing out the power I had in legs and ass, so now I can start squatting with proper loads.

Sounds like we right there together. I love squats, it makes the whole body grow

I love them too, in fact I like training legs on top of anything else, but their extremely taxing on my CV, that's a good thing though and I'm sure they will help with overall conditioning.

Back is sore today, lats too, was struggling with lat activation in the pushdowns and my lats have gone soft, issue was poor form but finally fixed it after realizing what I was doing wrong.

Chest tonight.
