How many times have you seen a super ripped and shredded person with bulging biceps, six-pack abs, great chests, and V-shaped 
back sitting on a gym bench doing isolation bicep curls? You stare and stare thinking at how great a physique that person has – until he stands up and you get a glimpse of his matchstick legs.
It’s pretty amusing to see bodybuilders who have great upper body muscles but have such underdeveloped legs. A great physique is all about symmetry. Like a great piece of Art there should be balance between all body parts with no parts bigger than the rest. A person with big upper body but small skinny legs would actually look cartoonish. Johnny Bravo make way! 
Most beginners skip the leg workout or make a half-baked job doing the leg routine. The results? Toothpick legs! You would not want a ripped upper body and chicken legs, right? So what leg workout can you do to build huge muscle?
Well, the legs have three major parts that you need to build up: the quads (quadriceps) the hamstrings and the calves. Let’s look at each of them.
The Quads (Quadriceps)
The quadriceps are at the front of the thigh and connected to the patella or knee cap and they are the muscles responsible for 
walking, running, jumping, squatting, dancing, biking, swimming and more. They make the hip and knee move with ease and fluidity.
BEST EXERCISES-
The best workout exercises for the quads are squats, leg presses and leg extension. You can also modify the squats exercise and hit the quads hard by doing hack squats.
The Hamstrings
The hamstring is composed of the four back muscles of the thigh. These muscles help flex your knee and extend
the hip, which is the complete opposite to what your quads do. The hamstring prevents the quads from over extending as it acts like a brake.
BEST EXERCISES:-
A well-developed and shredded hamstring could be achieved if you focus on doing standing leg curls, barbell lunges and seated leg curls.
The Calves![legs calf muscle exericse]( "legs calf muscle exercise")
The calves form the bulk on the lower part of your leg, and are in charge of holding up your body weight. They have to be strong, but are wrapped in in-flexible tissue, which sometimes makes it hard for them to grow. So you need to hit them with all you’ve got.
BEST EXERCISES
The best exercises for the calves are standing calf raises, seated calf raises and calf presses.
Here’s A Solid Routine…
Your legs are used to hard work as they take a daily beating with the normal range of activities that you do. What does this mean then?
Well, you cannot just do any low intensity leg workout as it will not help build your leg muscles. You need to “force” your legs to grow muscles. That means, use heavy weights, use good form and get your nutrition right!
Just remember though, give your leg muscles time to rest, recuperate and grow (around 48 hours).
Here is a sample workout that you can follow:
• Barbell Full Squats – 4 sets of 6-9 reps
• Dumbbell Lunges – 4 sets of 6-9 reps each leg
• Leg Press – 3 sets of 6-12 reps
• Leg Extension – 3 sets of 6-12 reps
• Standing Calf Raises – 4 sets of 6-9 reps
Remember use the heaviest weights you can, so you tire out in those rep ranges!
So there you go, a leg workout, that’s the ultimate solution to ridding yourself of those match stick legs, and build that symmetrical body you’ve always wanted.
