Want to put on some weight and get better legs

[Stratavos]

i have a cost effective option: change the chair for a large medicine ball, and bounce on it as you can. About every other hour, do 2 sets of 10 hip thrusts using your upper back/shoulders as the fulcrum with the ball. be sure you're on the ball of your foot when you're doing this, it should feel like you're making a bridge... hmn an image link should help some...

and on the thrust you go to the ball of your foot on both feet.

squats and lunges, focus on form.

While lifting is important, your diet is equally or even more important to gaining muscle mass. Also rest so your body can rebuild. Muscles are not built in the gym, they are broken down there. Muscles are built in the kitchen and bedroom where you feed and rest them.

Whether you start with Smith machine or free weights, form is very important. Get a really good trainer to at least get you started and then check in periodically to be sure you've not developed a bad habit in the gym.

If your just looking for calisthenic movements, id suggest lunges or explosive squats

Try splitting your legs into 2 sessions , focus on quads on day 1 and hammies on day 2 you will find your progess will be much better and get better leg balance .

Agree with JJ here and also Flexx's post whiched touched on the subject about diet. If you are at the point where you want bigger legs and you are not gaining weight than you are not growing. Don't fall into the trap of uncontrolled weight gain just to get results...you won't be happy.
