What do you do for legs?

[Curt James]

What's your routine consist of? Do you do a separate workout for hamstrings or do you work quads, calves, and hamstrings on the same day?

Do you favor squats over leg press or do both?

How are your knees?

My knees are fine, but the most I've ever squatted was 270. Nothing to brag about, but I was happy as hell.

Lower 1: Front squats + RDL's + accessory work (calves, spinal stability)
Lower 2: Deadlifts + Bulgarian squats + accessory work (calves, spinal stability

Squats all the way. Haven't used the leg press in years; it's not a bad exercise, but I think for advanced lifters it does not offer much stimulus in terms of strength gains (hypertrophy, possibly different)

How are your knees?

Fine and dandy. If it hurts, stop. If form is bad, fix it. Don't settle on either of those values.

Never tested my back squat PR, but my deep front squat PR is 315.

Seated Hamstring Curls, Seated Leg Curls, Seated Calf Raises, Standing Calf Raises, Hack Squats, Leg Press, Dumb Bell Weighted Lunges, Then finish it off with High Incline Treadmill at 3mph. I sandwich it all in to day days workout, but typically walk out of the gym resembling a new born baby deer.

Favor Squats but do both

Not so great. Cant go ass to grass on the squats, but can still get pretty far down.

Never tried because I dont feel that not going ass to grass is "proper technique" so never felt the need to find out how much I can do while not going all the way down.

Nope.

i dont want a thick legs like that!

 

[Tank12]

Lots of volume. Heavy Squats. 15-20 rep leg press sets. Hamstring dominant days. Calves 3x week.

 

[Steeldoctor50]

I agree lots of volume and heavy but especially on squats don't let weight ruin form. A big movement like squats form should always be key before going really heavy.
