Those who trumpet their sufferings are most deserving of misery.

I've always felt that extensions are best for defining the legs rather than adding mass.

I agree in part with the previous post that leg extensions are great for developing separation. However, they are also great for bringing out areas in the quads that may need to be improved.
Squats are king for overall mass, but if you are lacking in a certain area, i.e. medialis, you can perform the extensions with the toes pointed out. Try that next time and you can feel what I am talking about.
Also, by isolating muscle groups, you can minimize the chance of injury and maximize effort.
hope this helps

I like leg extensions, I usually do them every other leg work-out.
