Ideas on squating for QUADS???

[babybull]

Okay I admit I didn't read through all the posts but are you doing a high or low bar position? Deep squats with a narrower stance really should trash the quads and not so much glutes and hams. Sounds like you're working those muscles in a way they're not used to. Are your quads at all sore from going deep? Deep squats are key for even development of quads...VMO development in particular (the tear drop).

Me personally I like to split up posterior chain with quads. I'll squat for quads and do good mornings for hammies on another day.

Im not sure on what you consider high or low bar. Im guessing low bar...as I basically sit the bar on my rear delts and not high on my traps/neck.

My quads are never sore...and I mean never. Maybe they just dont get sore? Maybe I need to trash them more? All I ever feel is my hammies and glutes..they get SORE AS HELL! I cant say Ive ever had truly SORE quads.

It seems counter-intuitive, but I used to have the same problem especially for glutes, but I started doing heavy narrow low foot leg presses deep for a bit and then squats started to get my quads sore.....

Moved my stance in closer and it seems to have done the trick! Last night my quads felt blitzed...I squatted with my toes out and my feet no more than 12" apart. It was brutal and turned my quads on fire!

That's awesome that you finally found what works for you. It doesn't take much for me to make my quads from, I could go to the gym and only do a few sets of extensions and mine would still grow

Must be nice!

Yeah, it feels like shit squatting that close...no power at all...but thats likely due to not having any quads! Ill get there...or Ill die trying!

could just be that your legs are hard to grow, why not try dropping the weigh and going for higher reps to stimulate leg growth?

My powerlifting leg workout is.

Wide stance squats: 12 sets x 3 reps
box squats: 12 sets x 3 reps

works for me building strength it wouldnt work if i was building size like you want to.

so what you've got to do is go for the burn not the weight try this workout.

Pre-exhaust: leg extentions: 4 sets x 10-12 reps
squats: 4 sets x 10-12 reps
hack lift on machine: 4 sets x 10 reps (just like 21's, 10 reps from lock out to knee, then 10 more reps from knee to bottom, then 10 full reps)
lying leg curls: 4 sets x 10 reps
calf raises: 4 sets x 20 reps
