Always together. I like to get legs out of the way. Squats and stiff legs can be a real killer though.
I mix it up. If i feel like my hams are lagging, ill prioritize and give them their own day. Its hard to JUST work the quads without also incorperating your hams also.
together yes cant be helped when squating
I have done them together and seperate. I find I can obviously do more weight seperatly but did not see better growth either way.
together.
I do them together. I've tried them separate and feel that training them together works best for me.
together
yes i do :D
I seperate them. Like Big Ole' said you can't work one without the other but by splitting them I can hit each group of muscles freash allowing me to go heavy as I want.
For Quads I like narrow stance Squats, leg extentions, Smith machine squats with legs forward of the bar, front squats and step-ups.
For hamms I'll do SLD's, wide stance squats, lunges and leg presses and leg curls.
i work them the same day.
i like to get a full leg pump

And there ya have it.. should have you walking silly for a little bit.
always seperate.
I do both....Seperate and togather....depends how my tegs look....
I'll try it Big Ole'........the way you suggested doing the step ups is exactly how I already do them....which makes me feel better knowing someone else does them this way as well. Here recently I've been doing them with a barbell on my shoulders. Before I was doing them holding a couple of 65 pound dumbbells. For leg extentions I've been doing 21's....toes up, toes out and toes in....God that burns like a mofo!
