For great thighs you need mass, shape, and
separation between each of the important quadriceps muscles: the rectus
femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis. You
need to develop the overall mass of your thighs to bring them up to
where they are proportionate with your upper body. Great size comes
about only by lifting heavy weight, especially with exercises like
squats and leg presses.
But
modern bodybuilders need more than just size to win contests. They need
to develop legs that show as much quality as quantity:
1) Full development and shape of each
of the separate muscles of the quadriceps; a full and satisfying sweep
of muscle on the outside of the thigh from hip to knee; the central
V-shaped delineation of the middle front thigh; fullness and thickness
where the quadriceps insert into the knee; and a fully developed and
defined leg biceps.
2) Clear and evident definition in the
thigh area, with striations and cross striations standing out as if
revealed in an anatomy chart.
3) Full, rounded development of the
thigh as seen from the side, almost as if you were looking at a pair of
parentheses, with a distinct separation between the front of the thigh
and the leg biceps.
