training the legs

what is your best method to train your legs? I realy like squating, but what else you like to do to get some meat on the legs?

I do bodyweight squats as well as squats while holding kettlebells, water filled balls, and my weight vest.

Do it all and mix it up.

Couple of things i do as part of my training.

- weighted hill sprints
- Yomping (fast walking over arduous terrain with a heavy bergen)
- Squats + Variations (knees together, pistols etc)
- Jumping skills (box jumps, leaping up flights of stairs etc)
- Kettlebell training
- Firemans Carries.

enjoy!

I am not currently doing any leg specific training. Last time I measured my thighs they were 28 inches around. I won a bet with a friend of mine that my thighs were larger than her waist.

Anyways I am currently finding a lot of value in standing in deep stances like santi for time. Since I started doing so I have noticed a lot more spring in my footwork and more stamina while sparring.

When I do get back to more strength training I want to focus on pistols and other bodyweight squats. My favorite weighted leg exercise is the zercher squat. I have never like the back squat.
