Legs don't respond to training!!

[Ffactor]

My leg genetics are poor. I have been going to the gym for 5 years now and my legs have not shown any improvement at all. I'm not that worried about it because I like wearing certain types of clothes but my lower body is definitely not in proportion with my upper body. I would like to improve my legs a little bit. Any ideas on excercises, reps or #of sets. Right now I can squat 315 and leg press 9 plates.

When I say 9 plates, I mean 9 on each side, I thought I would clear that up for you monkeys!

Ffactor,

please list your current routine. Maybe, I can help you make some modifications. Also includes the weights you are using and the frequency of your workout.

Do you train beyond failure?

Do you train until you are nauseated?

Try the SMolov squat program, that should make the suckers grow - now that's what I call training hard

Thanks Loudon and CoolJ!

My current routine is:

Once a week:

7-8 sets of leg extensions 5-12 reps

5 sets of squats, start off at 225 then move up to 315 on the smith machine. My 1 rep max would be around 405.

5 sets of leg presses, start off with 5 plates on each side and work up to 9 plates, 8-12 reps.

Lying leg curls, 5 sets 5-10 reps.

I do not train beyond failure. I do get nauseated every single time I do legs.
