I think the machine you are referring to is the "Hack squat" machine. What are you doing for your hamstrings and calves? Make sure you are working all the muscle groups. You may want to mix up the squats and leg presses some.

nope not even close.
Do you want Tom Platz legs or anybody elses legs??? Legs are so much work that when your done you should be having trouble walking down stairs for fear of falling on your face. They can take such a beating and come back for more that unless you really bomb the dog snot out of your legs they will never have that comic book look to them.

Introduce yourself to the squat rack and start learning to squat.
BB Squats are the king mover and shaker.... do them first in your routine. And like NaturalProfessor, you should be kicking your arse mentally and physically to get through those sets.... (praying to god for it all to end is normal). I'd suggest mixing up your routine... Sometimes going for 3 sets of 12, and other days going going for 4 sets of 6... always shooting to fail by the 3rd and 4th set... (and if you don't fail, you must move the weights up next time). Squats, lunges, leg presses, and leg extensions, with seated or standing calve press/raises.. is a fairly all round approach. I've actually been hitting my legs twice a week for while now, and they are blowing the hell up. Although I wouldn't recommend it, cause chances are if your new to hitting your legs hard, you won't be able to recover in time.

Bump on the weighted lunges. I recently added them to my leg routine to mix things up and I have gotten some noticeable gains.
