^ / ^^ I must be building strength, as am starting to find squats easier (and have been increasing the weight I lift). I guess it's just that, as I'm not seeing as much visible impact for legs as anything I do for upper body work, the impact feels less obvious if that makes sense.
I think upping the weight is the key thing. I'm a mighty 62kg and lifting 52kg with squats. Will start slowly upping it, but keeping reps low, coz, as itsbruce says, it seems high weight / low rep is key for strength
