So for whatever reason my legs just do not want to get stronger as fast as any other body part. I'm up to 225 on bench and my max deadlift is 365, but I can't seem to break 275 on squats for more than one rep.

For leg training I usually do a warm up on the eleptical to get the blood flowing in the knees, a set of body squats, warm up with the bar, 135, 185, 225 and then a few working sets at 245 (most days I don't try to max). Then I usually follow it up with hip thrusts (the one where the bar is on your waist, I think that's what its called) to work the glutes / hamstrings more for 3-4 sets and Bulgarian split squats for single leg training for a few sets (3-4). Is there something wrong with my training itself? Or do I just have shit leg genetics lol
Feeling strain anywhere when you squat, like on the knees? I’d have someone look at your form
