I have been working out for a while but some how can't get my legs going. I only squat 225 for 2 times going all the way down but I want to get that higher so if anyone can help please help me. Thanks

(unless u take some supplement) there was a time i used to it mostly pasta with fish+veges..and i ate loaads and loads of pasta..and i beefed up so much..pasta is great to get a bit bulky. dont eat too much at night be4 going to bed.

You want heavy compound movements.....stay away from the machines, you can't do enough weight to really help on leg mass.( extensions mainly) Squats, dls, romianan dls, stiff dls, glute ham machine, good mornings and maybe lunges. -------------- Friends don\'t let friends squat high... People don\'t reach thier true potental, only those who seek it.
