What the hell?!
I think your thighs are better than horrid, Gettin'. They're pale, but you're obviously doing something about their size
This might break badly with a progressive 5x5 program, but the very best thing I've ever done for thighs is a superset of leg extensions with leg presses, both to total failure and beyond when possible, about once a week (often alternating with heavy squat-oriented workouts). I'm definitely of the opinion that hard work + extreme pumping [should] = appreciable growth, and I've experienced thigh pumps with just one of these supersets that go beyond even brutal 20-rep squat sets.
I'm also of the opinion that pre-exhaustion style supersets aren't great after you repeat the workout ~5-8 times. I used them exclusively for almost six months and added probably 200 lbs. to my deep leg presses (perhaps more; the machine only holds 945), but even continuous strength gains don't necessarily correlate to growth. I think different stimuli are best for the latter which, of course, entails going back to very heavy straight sets.
Try one of those supersets sometime just to see how sore it makes you, though. I always keep the reps on the leg press below 8, perferably less than 6. At first it might seem as if it's simply really hard cardio, but a day or two afterwards, you'll curse me
Good progress, btw. Sorry to sidetrack you with all this other stuff. I have a couple other thoughts but'll hold off for the time being!
Keep it up.
