Kinda what I was wondering. You were 238 in mid-October, so that’s five weeks of basically no bodyweight gain.

Leg muscle, or any muscle, doesn’t come out of nowhere. Not saying you need to get fat or anything, but if you’re not gaining weight, you’re most likely not building muscle. Especially at your height.
To generalize: Bodyweight gains without strength gains… most likely gaining fat. Strength gains without bodyweight gains… most likely not eating enough. Strength gains with bodyweight gains… holy grail for the majority of guys.
Cool beans. Having a separate quad day and ham day is basic bodybuilding stuff. I feel like a lot of people, not specifically you, are so scared of “training like a bodybuilder” that they neglect simple, effective, time-tested methods that would actually suit their goals.
