You don't need to waste time running to other leg extension machines, and hip flexor machines, and abductor and adductor leg muscle machines.. Squats, over time, will give you tree trung legs unlike any thing else. This is indisputable. If you have never done squats, start as soon as you can! You will feel what I mean. Squats will primarily build your quadriceps, glutes (butt muscles), hip flexors, and will also requrie your back muscles to be active. For your hamstrings, do deadlifts and stiff-leg deadlifts. For calves, do weighted calf raises. Alernate between standing calf raises and seated calf raises every few weeks. You calves actually have 2 muscles, one is used while standing, and the other while sitting. Sets and reps? You can do 3 or 4 sets for your exercises, with the heaviest weigh you can manage for about 6reps. work you way up to 12 or 14. If you are just starting off, though, use a weight which you can manage for abour 12 reps. Don`t squat and deadlift on the consequetive days. You won`t really be able to, anyways. You will see. Either day them several days apart (this is optimal), or on the same day. The calves benefit from a higher rep range. Use rep ranges starting at about 10 or 12 and getting up to 18.<br><b>References : </b><br> SQUATS!
