You should be doing a leg day once a week (maybe two if you can handle it!) in the gym if you want big wheels.
You need to include several leg exercises for mass.
It’s already been said, but this is an important point: SQUAT!
Squats with a barbell will be the cornerstone in your quest for leg mass.
Mix in good volume and strength workout types to leave no stone unturned.
This means you need to get in 3–12 reps for 3–6 sets per leg exercise.
Focus on form and get good depth.
Use all variations of the squat as well.
Back squats. Front squats. Overhead squats. Goblet squats. Just squat, BABY!
Other good movements for massive wheels:
Deadlifts (and variations such as RDL’s and SDL’s) - these work the posterior chain (lower back, glutes, hamstrings) intensely and are a must to build up the back of your legs.
Hip Thrusts - work the glutes like no other. Do not leave these out!
Pistol Squats - Build massive quads and are great for balance and explosion… that’s why a lot of athletes do these.
Split Leg Squat - These are tough, because they work! It’s best to work legs unilaterally sometimes as well to iron out imbalances.
Walking lunge - the walking version works WAY better, and these will help build up your legs unilaterally as well.
Also… don’t forget calves! Get in a good dose of calf raises (seated and standing).
Also, other forms of exercise such as sprinting and running hills can really help bring legs to the next level, but don’t over-train! Be sensible!
And you knew it was coming… the nutrition component!
Eat for mass, which means a good amount of protein, carbs, and good fats.
You will not gain any size and strength in any bodypart with a bad diet!
LEGS!
Hope this helped.
