You should try that movement using 25lbs plates and put a 1x4 under your heels. That will make your quads shake like a leaf in the wind. You can also use a cambered bar to and that'll make performing the lift a lot easier in terms of comfort.

Yup, very true..that;s how I did mine - the cambered bar I didn't have.

It seems like most gyms these days don't offer more than a crappy straight bar. Most don't even have a Texas Power Bar.

This is when I worked out at home, but your right. Larry's gym was the only place I saw unique bar's etc..He even had an old school Zane leg blaster.

Nice. I tried it but there's no substitute to doing front squats Olympic style.

I find nothing builds quads like narrow stance, Olympic style front squats. I may be a bit biased though since I used to compete in Olympic Weightlifting.

Agreed on both accounts...I guess I wasn't referring to Zane's leg blaster as the best thing out there ( it wasn't bad), but merely Larry's gym had more unique things then any other gym I've seen, true hardcore Powerlifting/Bodybuilding gym, even had a couple Olympic lifters.
