Apr 11, 2011 7:03 AM: For anyone Trying to put on mass, If you do Leg ext at the end of your leg workout, 3 sets of 5 reps of failure weight, you'll see immediate mass on your quads in a week. This is an amazing quad developer. Only downside is the torque it applies to your knee, Keep that in mind if you have bad knees or...+See More

Above is a link to a alternative to leg extensions. It was confusing as you know what to picture but I am looking forward to trying it out as I don't have a leg extension machine at home. I hope it helps!

Mar 21, 2010 3:29 PM: Isolation is the only way to really build up large quads. Use in combination with a front or full squat and keep intensity high. Low rep, high weight.
