I've been weight training for a while now and everything seems to be coming along except for my legs. My quads are okay but my hamstrings and calves are too skinny for my tastes. Does anyone who's had a similar problem know a solution that's worked for them?

are you hitting your hamstring directly?
I would do at least 50% of the number of sets that you did for quads for hamstrings. do some straight leg dead lifts, leg curls seated/standing. focus on the eccentric (lowering) portion of your lifts and vary your rep ranges. make sure to stretch the legs for a good 15-20 minutes after training them.

At 5'11" you're wonderful and tall or perhaps thick thighs do not seem all that undesirable consisting of your type of height. Be consoled. i'm purely 5'2" and my bottom 1/2 is quite heavy. My short height would not help both. i appear as if one in each of Botticelli's artwork. tremendous on suited and massive and round lower than. sense free with what you've were given. Stand tall and proud.

run up and down hills....i got so much muscle
also for calves hop up and down on one foot and do a lot of jumping.

try doing lunges..side to side...and squats..... try standing on your toes and lowering again -repeating ..you'll work on your calves building up muscle*
