What does /fit/ think about lunges? Are they great for building juicy quads or an overrated lift mostly done by women? If you do them, how many sets and reps?

My new gym doesn't have a leg press so I'm looking for a new accessory lift on leg day.

They're good if you need some quad work BUT if you squat regularly you probably don't

Hits my ass and quads great. I like walking lunges as an accessory on lower day but if you do the "stand in place" variant chances are they might fuck with your knees.

lunges are great, hits all those stabilizer muscles that help with your main lifts. everyone should be doing a little bit of one leg work, otherwise you're a pussy
bulgarian split squats are good shit too.
8x3 is what i hit before upping the weight on both

Lunges to failure are one of the most unimaginably painful excercises you can do. On a side not I used to have literally no mass anywhere on my legs except my outer quadricep despite squatting well towards 45P pounds. Doing lunges really filled out my VMO's and my diamond. Highly recommend them, very functional and very good for finding weak spots in your stabilizers and adductors/abductors
