Have someone teach you how to squat properly, there is no substitute for legs. I used to have really small legs as well, I just posted an improved version of my ex-pencil legs on the pics board, all I ever do for legs are heavy squats and some leg press.

Heavy squats,hack squats and deadlifts will really put size on. I'd only do 3 or 4 sets of squats, same with hacks. Deadlifts on seperate day, doing 3 or 4 sets.

use squats as your main exercise and i agree...learn proper form .

Since you are just starting out, I'd say to pick one core exercise for legs;back squats or deadlifts while standing on a platform.Work legs at most twice per week and concentrate on your form.Once your form is solid, start to gradually add weight to the bar and maybe incorporate some additional exercises like lunges or hack squats.Maybe use a 5x5 rep scheme, with the first 2 sets being warm ups and the last 3 sets being your work sets.Use the same poundage for all three work sets.This will limit your poundage, but at this point, form is more important than weight.

I believe squats are the only thing you need. Do them right and your legs will grow... After that, add in some other stuff like Still leg deadlift etc.

Good Luck

OK, I don't give this out to everybody but my routine for chicken legs is let them soak over night in a honey mustard BBQ sauce, grill till done( I like mine a little crispy ).
Only kidding since your a beginner, why don't you purchase book on training, for example Arnolds Encyclopedia? There are multitude of programs and exercises with plenty of photos in that book. This way you can find what works for you and go from there.

 

[heavy only]

Ass in the grass squats. Complete stretch of the quads and NO bouncing at the bottom. Maybe even start with pause squats to get your strength and form.

Form is more improtant than weight for now.

Squats, by far the best.
Many people are intimidated by the squat. Just start out low and work on your form. After you master the form then gradually increase the weight.

I had problems with the squat and it was because I was using too much and my form sucked ass. Once I improved form the weight really started going up.

parabellum-I have the same problem. I had did squats with a shoulder width stance but with my feet parallel to each other toes pointing forward. I got up to 275, but I realized I could have done squats with toes pointing outward at an angle, which ALLOWED me to go a LOT deeper. next leg workout, I am going light as hell, and gonna work on going deep instead of trying to go heavy.
