legs wont grow!!!, plz help

New member
when i first started lifting i made the common mistake of not lifting my legs, now about 3 or more years later i have been lifting htem for about 1 1/2 years, but they havent grown much, and my upper body is much bigger and unsymetrical. i just got done wuith a 6 wk break from legs b/c of a partially torn PCL due to ice hockey, im looking for some routines you can offer or tips to help me. BTW i am 17, 5'7" 170 lbs and average strength at legs 285 X 10 squats but they are only about 20", so plz give mea ll the tips u can.

right now this is what i have planned: to be done once a week
squats: 4 X 6-10 (reverse pyramid, start with heaviest weight work down)
leg press: 2 X 10, 6
hack squat: 2 X 8-10
SLDL: 2 X 8- 10 (i used to only do lying leg curls)
lying leg curls: 3 X 6-10

for calves im trying the poliquin calves routine


any thoughts, ideas appreciated, BTW the last thing i was doing was 3X5 for squats for about 3 months and made great progression in strength but that halted, but none in size
 
first, up the weight and lower the reps for squats, if your looking for mass you want to be hitting them much harder make them work harder for each rep. leg press make 3 or 5 sets with less reps and more weight. Drop Hack squats all together. the SLDL's are fine and so are the laying legs. for those exercises i said to drop i would think the 5x5 principal would be perfect.

secondly, look to your diet, are you eating enough protein and carbs to grow? are you resting enough to grow? Drinking plenty of water?
 
yeah diet is good, ive been bulking at 20 X bw for about 4 months, im gonna continue that for around 1 more month then some maintenance then start cutting. i eat good foods also, right now im eating every 3 hrs aroudn 7 meals a day, 5 proteina nd carbs, and 2 prtoeina nd fats, all good sources too.
