    Building quads past 30 inches

    Serious question for those of you who have put your time in the gym and have pushed your quads past 30 inches...
    Any advice for those of us who are stuck at 30 inches and can't seem to gain any more mass/size on the legs...
    I'm pushing the heavy weights with squats, leg presses, extensions, curls, hacks, etc. but haven't been able to get these wheels to push past 30.
    Looking for any advice/input... order of leg routine, variation of pyramiding, site injections if you think they would help... training techniques, anything at this point.
    Thanks bro's.

    Try this if you dare. Alot of people try to say having big legs is all genetics. Genetics do play a part in it but I also do some crazy ass leg workouts, here is an example of a workout I did yesterday and by the way I am off cycle(7th week). I move in a brisk pace and finish this in under an hour and a half.

    Warm up 10min on stationary bike

    Leg press 2 warm up sets of 20, 4 working sets of 15,12,10,8
    Hack Squats 4 sets of 12,10,8,6
    Squats 4 sets 12,10,8,6
    1 legged leg press superset with leg extensions 3sets of 15-failure (on leg ext only)
    Stiff leg deadlifts 4sets 15-10
    Superset seated and lying leg curls 3 set of 12-failure
    Standing leg curls(do these slow like doing a bicep concentration curl) 3 sets of 10
    Hip adductor machine (you know the girl one that you squeeze your legs together, make sure to use these to get a good groin stretch) 2sets of 30
    Seated calves 4 sets of 15-10
    Standing calves 4sets of 20-15
    BigSickD does not actually exist. He is the alter ego of a punkass 17yo kid that doesn't even workout.

          The secret you are in search of is "MORE FREQUENT" training sessions with squats only.. Do a medium, heavy, then light set twice a week and watch them get stronger, then bigger.

          Do a (11-15)-(6-10)-(1-5) rep scheme and wait three minutes between sets.

          I am now able to decline press 395 for 4 reps in strict form on my heavy set with this type of routine and this has increased my overall pec size more than when I was doing various exercises done once per week ( for eq: inclines, declines, various flyes).

          I also do a rest pause set when reps dont make it to the numbers listed. I think you be pleasantly surprised!!!
