F U legs

What rep range do you use for squats? Short or long rest periods between sets?

Rest just long enough until I get my breath back

I usually hit 5 to 9 on my first set, reverse pyramid to failure after that.

Occasionally I will do my sets with higher reps

OK, catch your eye? Marketing! Sorry to dissapoint you guys and gals.......but here is the REAL way to build large muscles in the quad area.
1. Walk past the hack squat machine
2. Bypass the leg extension machine
3. Go to the squat rack.
Squats......2-3 times a week. 3-5 sets total.......heavy to light OR light to heavy.........switch it up......warm up well first......all working sets to failure........How far down? Vary the depth. Some reps go lower, some reps go higher.......IN THE SAME SET......got it? Go get it!

Extentions and lunges won't build size . However you need to pay attention to how you perform reps . Try different ways - do partials after you can't go full , go slower in descent than when lifting ie 2 up 3 down . Do a set where you go 4-5 seconds down . Try adding partials to the top half one set bottom another but after you can't do one more full rep. Try pre-exhustion . Extending sets this way has shown to promote hyperplasia or fiber splitting . Meaning you don't just build size by heavy weights , you can also split fibers by hitting them deeply taxing nervous system . No champion bodybuilder builds freaky size with straight sets and reps . Yes they have great genetics but they still need to bring out freak size by unusual methods . Note that every bodybuilder will say they workout a certain way but watch them and never do they.
Arnold was famous fir cheat curls , ferrigno partial inclines , Ronnie Coleman lifts shrugs like 1 inches lol . Study various methods . Never stick with one way .

Thanks for the reply. Do you ever start with the high rep sets 15-20 or so, followed by the heavier low rep sets?

Inject in quads.

Progressive overload is king. Get stronger in all your leg movements, bring in surplus calories, and you'll see growth.

I actually meant a piston like pace, but controlled.

Agreed and also i try not to go to the point where i lock my knee's.
