Sorry bro. Don't know what you are talking about I have to train upper body twice as hard just to keep up.For those who have those hard to grow legs what have you noticed works best for combating that in terms of how many times trained a week, how much volume per workout, and what workouts stimulated the most growth?

Typically good reco BUT seems long legged people and "hard gainers" a) have a hard time squatting that way and b) can't help but to be posterior chain dominant I.e. squat with glutes, hips, hams. IM NOT SAYING DONT SQUAT THO!!!Honestly just doing more sets of squatting. Don't worry so much about weight, just pyramid up 5-6 sets of 8-10 reps. Also, don't do the conventional wide stance that mostly works glutes. Use a shoulder width or as close of a stance as you can comfortably do.
I agree here. I can't narrow squat with depth without having some pressure or pain on my kneesTypically good reco BUT seems long legged people and "hard gainers" a) have a hard time squatting that way and b) can't help but to be posterior chain dominant I.e. squat with glutes, hips, hams.

I use adidas powerlift 3.1 for this very reason. It has 0.6 inch hard heel. High bar topples me forward. I used to do high bar before. Low bar helps me acheive depth better.If u would like to. Try a plate under heels and use a manta ray if available or go as "high bar" as you possibly can

Best investment ever. 60 dollar shoe saved my life.
Jesus Christ lol. How damn heavy? Bout tip over or something? Thats what the wife paid for mine, 60Best investment ever. 60 dollar shoe saved my life.
I invested in a 250 dollar reebok legacy lifters with 1 inch heel. The first day I hit heavy squats. It somehow raised the blood pressure in my eye balls so much during the rep that my right eye has floaters now. Permanently. Moved back to the Adidas and have meter been happier.

I could not agree more!!I hear ya bro!
If you absolutely can't squat with a medium or close stance for what ever reason, then do what you can, but if you're just mimicking others and squatting wide, when you are able to squat closer I think they're doing their quads a disservice. Though I suppose you can activate your quads more with ancillary exercises later on, I feel it's just so much more effective if you can hammer your quads with closer stance squats the way Tom Platz did.
Probably. I have long legs.That's interesting, I actually get that feeling when I try to squat wide. It just feels so unnatural for me. When I go shoulder width or closer it feels natural and I'm stronger. Perhaps we both just have mobility issues?
Hahaha that's awesome man! Must be nice lol.Sorry bro. Don't know what you are talking about I have to train upper body twice as hard just to keep up.
