If you're talking losing bodyfat, I can't help you as I'm still wrestling with that demon myself. But building new muscle is easy......I like the hammer strength hack squat machine - squat as deep as you possible can (your butt should almost touch your heels), and then go straight to leg extensions holding at the top for a full second.....makes my legs cramp up for the rest of the day

Are you hoping to spot reduce them? I don't really think that's possible. You best bet probably is to just hit them hard - I'd especially hit the hammies. Going deep is good on squats, but I've read below 90 degrees mostly works the glutes.

I hold weights (by my shoulders)and do lunges in between my "normal" work-outs. 3 sets/of 10. slowly.

Anymore definition SF, and your quads and hammies will each need their own pant leg.

That was a compliment.

Thanks Auri

I just wanted to cut them down some more. They weren't cut enough for my first show and I was hoping to get them down more than that for the one I have coming up.

i have to update on this....I have been holding my leg extensions at the top, they burn like hell but this has been working..,I have much more definition in them now Also, I think from practicing flexing my legs...it has helped too.

By squatting that deeply, wouldn't that mess up your knees?
