Legs are tough.
In general, they require a lot of work in order to grow. The legs usually need to be stressed with plenty of weight as well. When the legs are pumped, they drain blood from the rest of the body causing that dreaded queasy feeling in the stomach. By far, the best overall leg exercise is the squat, but it's amazing how many excuses people can think of to avoid squatting. Twenty-rep squat sets are as brutal as they sound.
