    Unhappy with Legs...

    Routine:

    ATG Squats 4 x 5-8
    hack squats 3 x 5-8
    SDL 4 x 5-8
    leg curls 3 x 10


    Calves are done 2x per week. I have been on a power routine, hitting as heavy as possible. Now, the noobie question. I'm seeing good str/development gains, but no real size. Should I train legs 2x per week?


    Thanks in advance for the help.


    Cheers.

    As long as your seeing constant strength gains, size will follow. Just keep doing what your doing until it doesn't work anymore.

    Good posts by Tough and Foreman.
    How long have you been on that routine? How are you gauging progress? Are you taking actual measurements or just eyeballing it?
    If your diet is good and strength gains are there, you might just need to be a little more patient. It takes time.

    Make sure you are gaining weight overall, first of all. If you aren't then start taking your diet more seriously, or add more calories if you are already planning out your meals and counting calories/macros.

    Are you measuring your legs with a tape? If not, it's going to be pretty hard to tell whether you are experiencing significant growth or not. I always thought I had small legs, but apparently they are decent.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
