How many squats should i do a day in order to get bigger, stronger thighs and legs?
My legs are real skinny and i just started working out my legs by doing squats.Will doing squats make my legs bigger looking? How many should i do a day? How long will it take for me to notice a difference?
I also ride that exercise bike at school for a little bit. maybe ten minutes.

Squats will make your legs huge.
You should do squats on back to back days, your legs will need to rest. Usually when wanting to get bigger and strong, people go with a set of 10, set of 8, set of 6, set of 4 (start with a high rep, and move down to a low rep with increased weight)

Play volleyball! You have to squat in one position for the whole game. ( that ur playing ) It’s good for ur butt too = ) you’d have to do like a bajillion squats to match that!

You’re going to want to do low reps with high weight to build the muscle. But do not do legs everyday. Your muscles have to have time to heal, otherwise it will take a lot longer for them to build. You can also hit up some leg extensions and leg curls, also give them time to rest though, and make sure if you do the extensions, you do the curls or vice versa, because if you’re only working one side of your legs then you can pull a hamstring or quad very easily. Hope I helped bro, good luck.

Squats won’t necessarily make your legs "huge"; the real determinant is your genetics. Also, depending on your goals (ie to increase muscle mass versus toning) the overall number of squats isn’t the only factor. What counts more is if you perform them to exhaustion or not. For increasing muscle mass you should do whatever weight until the point you can no longer squat them on your own. At this point your body will recognize that more muscle is possibly needed and will start building muscle to help with this. In some people this results in larger muscles while in other people this results in more muscles strands or density of existing muscles.
