Background: Under 30. 6'2, 190lbs. Trained in BJJ for about 10 years, still train 2-3x per week.
I have always had badly underdeveloped quads/hamstrings/glutes. I have wanted to work on this for a while, and for Christmas, my wife got me what I wanted: A 7 foot bar/squat rack/plates.
I'm not looking to become some sort of elite lifter, and more importantly, I want to minimize any chance of fucking up my back. My only goal is to get my quads/hamstrings/glutes to a decent level. (Which, we'll define as 10 squat reps at 250 pounds.)
So, sherdoggers, what say you in terms of getting me to my goal? Are squats alone enough to properly develop my legs, or should I be throwing anything else in? What should I be aiming for in frequency (every other day too much?) How many sets/reps should I be aiming for?
-Clueless.
