change your rep range around.

Maybe you need to do higher reps. My legs really grow when I do 20rep sets of squats. Or maybe you need lower rep ranges. My legs really grow when I do 3-4 reps of squats.

for me personally i have found that leg extensions and leg curls are pretty useless, i stick to squats, lunges, leg press, good mornings, deadlifts, and step ups

Everyone has a rep range that works for them. No matter what rep range I use though my legs just get bigger. It is good and bad at the same time.

Try this little routine I did last week, it was great

Squats
2 warmup sets 12-15 reps
3 worksets, reverse pyramid 12,10,8 reps

DB Lunges
3 sets - 15-20 reps each leg (just walk around) - increase weight each set

Leg Press -
2 sets 12,10 - Use a middle height stance, shoulder width apart
2 sets 12,10 - Use high height stance, wider then shoulder width apart

SLDL's
3 sets 12,10,8

Leg Extension/Leg Curl Superset
2 supersets 15 reps each

Try it out, if it doesnt help, like everyone else said - use a VARIETY of reps, try static holds and dropsets, do anything that you havent done :rocker:

Forget the leg extensions. Try 1/2 squats down to a bench and concentrate on working up to serious poundages, 8-12 reps/set. Couple that with leg press and some leg curls. That's IT
