a (leg) work in progress
I'm as guilty as anyone who has neglected legs and i can't really put it better than what i read in a magazine which said, "when some1 asks you to flex, no1 drops thier pants and flexes thier quads" I'm getting more serious about lifting and i've been eating right and lifting properly with better routines an i'm expecting to see some good gains so heres my stats/traiing log
height - 5'11" weight - 155(former long distance runner...i used to weight about 130 but i could run forever) arms, 13.5" chest - 40" legs - 20" shoulders - 45" bench - 215 (max) db bench 80x4 ez curl - 100lbs for 4 good, 2 cheat reps squat - ehh, 205 for 5 reps, but i'm afraid to go too heavy because when i go heavier i feel a pinch on the left side of my waist (i need to review my anatomy but its on the v-tapering muscle that goes down below the belt) i also feel this when going heavy on leg press, it doesnt hurt but i never wanna go any further to see if it will those are the basics, my legs are obviously lacking far behind my upper-body and its kinda funny looking when i'm wearin shorts or staring at myself naked in front of the mirror. my leg workouts are really gonna start taking effect now and i'll be doing them as part of my new routine tuesdays and fridays squats, extensions, and curls with calf raises on wednesdays....i also wanna include deadlifts and am seeking perfect form before i really try anything heavy with those any advice on how i should work those in? should i do them on my leg days or off leg days? protein, cee, glutamine and a week into endothil-CR(it does work, i've already noticed awesome strength gains)

Do a leg day, just legs get done. The pain will make you do it that way eventually anyway when you started lifting heavy and can barely walk after.

Most recommend the following:
Monday-legs Wednesday-push Friday-pull Deadlifts are never done on squat day, have at least 3 days between squats and deadlifts.
