I’ve got skinny legs vs. upper body

[Qemxlo]

I’m not one of those guys who goes to the gym and just trains my upper body
I do everything and it’s disappointing that I still have chicken legs and people give me a hard time about it
I’m six foot two and I’m 218 pounds.
I’ve been training my legs at least an hour at least once or twice a week and I just haven’t seen any growth.
Do you have any advice as to which exercises are going to be mandatory to force growth?

Could come down into a few things.

How many reps and sets are you doing for legs ?

Have heavy or lite are the weights ?

Are the reps being performed quality on each rep ?

What kind of movements are you doing for legs ?

Lay it out for us give us a fully picture.

Go heavy and stay in hypertrophy range. Do more sets and maybe train them twice a week

also comes down to genetics unfortunately
I've seen some really strong dudes who have really skinny legs no matter what they do
