I can squat two plates but I still can’t see any muscle definition in my legs. Is that normal? When will I actually be able to see my quads and hamstrings?

lose fat
I’m 6’1 and 175 lbs. Fat isn’t the issue.
How long have you been training legs and at what frequency per week? Ive only trained legs seriously for 6 months and i squat 4 plates, with chunky quads.
Been training seriously for 6 months, usually do legs twice a week
I know it’s not impressive but I think it’s the point where you should see some kind of muscle definition.
>see definition
Legs aren't supposed to be trained for definition though. Just keep getting stronger and they'll start to look better as you go heavier. Unironically just keep adding weight and stay consistent.
How visible are the rest of your muscles? Maybe a solid recomp is in order (not a cut)
what is a recomp
striping away body fat while keeping your muscles (and even making them bigger)
Muscles are visible everywhere else, I think maybe I just hold most of my fat in my legs
Fat is the issue. I could squat 2 plates at 6'0 155 and could clearly see my quads.
Why would you want definition on your thighs I want sexy meaty thighs
Woah bro are you me? :O
I'm 6'0 190lbs and I have pretty good definition, I've been fat most of my life though so idk
how much can you squat
I squat 5 and same.
Full ROM lmao2plaet squats WILL build your legs, especially with squat shoes which shift the load onto your quads. If you're training for hypertrophy, go past 90 degrees.
Quarter-reps for days
Fatty
2 plates is baby weight squat 4 for reps and youll have quads for sure
strength does not equate to muscle size volume
It doesn't equate but it's pretty fricking close. People who say otherwise are morons that refuse to look at the blatant reality of muscle mass in the face. Muscular people are strong people.
When people say they squat 2 plates, that means 2 each side, right?
No, they mean they put two plates directly on their back. No bar.
Can't believe people don't know this yet
I use a backpack to hold the plates more easily, otherwise I find they tend to slide off
>he uses the pussy pack
>can't hold them tight between the shoulder blades
ngmi
I find front plates easier. Two under my chin and one in my mouth
yes
Legs get big, they don't get defined like abs.
Also
>he thinks 225 is an impressive squat
Probably bc your volume is lacking. Try sets of 185 for 20 and see if that doesn't grow your legs. It most likely will
How to get balanced leg fyziik like this? I hate the chicken drumstick look my thighs have, the outer quad being by far larger than the inner side
Is it just genetics?
i think it's genetics. my legs have always been naturally big, even untrained. now my quads are pretty big and my inner thigh is as well, but there is almost zero definition. it's just bad luck really. at least my abs look kinda good i guess.
>2 plates
I could squat that going into the gym my first time.
365x5 high-bar is where I started to see 100% noticeable quad mass.
>I could squat that going into the gym my first time.
who gives a shit homosexual
>2pl8 squat
>why no muscles
Lol. You havent even begun building muscle. Most of your gains at this point are just neurological.
front squat. and go as deep as possible. I'm talking about your glutes touching your achilles deep.
>go as deep as possible
yes
>your glutes touching your achilles deep
no, ankle movement and the limbs length aren't equal for everyone, if the first you can train the 2nd is a physical limitation
2pl8s is shit my dude if you want real definition you gotta double that.
Muscular definition comes from doing high reps 10-20
Upper body responds best to 10 reps
Lower body responds best to 20 reps
This is for having muscular looking body, not for strength
>I can squat two plates
two plates isn't a big squat, the 1/2/3/4 meme is a real thing if you aren't fat
