[quote=Anonymous]Good way to gain any kind of mass is to lift heavy and eat properly.  In general leg muscles are fast twitch muscles which responds to heavy lifting, you could do thousand squats without much gains except a "pump" which some people associate it as "toning."  In your case, I would continue with squats and combine it with deadlifts.  Squats are a quad dominate exercise and deadlifts are hamstring dominate, both key exercises to improve the posterior chain.

Perhaps I would try to limit deadlifts since it hits more thigh area.  Lunges are great too along with step-ups (both quad dominate) and go heavy, you may want to utilize the "smith machine" for lunges.  It's really all about which exercises you respond to eventually and everyone is different but i would stick to the core exercise mentioned to fulfill your goal and throw in accessory exercises or isolation exercises like hip bridges at the end.  Or if you feel you need to diet down first and then build muscle.  It's difficult to do both at the same time.  Good luck![/quote]
