Add in some 2-5sec paused squats and dead squats
I'm gonna do this today @Docd187123
I use my legs a lot for work ( water delivery driver) I'm constantly carrying or pushing weight with me .. Could it be that I use my legs that much that I have to hit them more frequently?? Did second leg workout yesterday medium weight.. Sunday I'm doing heavy weight adding good mornings once a week..
For me, focus on a few core exercises, focus on getting your form nailed (upload some video if you want us to critique your form), focus on building some raw power, and size should follow. I prefer to keep things simple personally, and would only train legs once per week, but hammer them. If you do it right you should be too tired and/or sore to train legs again within 3 or 4 days.
Back squat
Probably 3 warm up sets and 2 or 3 work sets. Heavy set should fail at 6 to 10 reps. Any less and the weight is too heavy, hit 10+ reps and up the weight for next time. keep your form right, and make sure you go all the way down (think ass to ground). Too many people ego lift on squat and do partials (I was guilty of this when doing my heaviest every reps at circa 220-230kg)
Then for me I move to leg press, leg extension, leg curl, seated calf raise, standing calf raise then done.
All with 6-10 rep range on heavy sets for me, but some people get better results from higher rep range in legs. So experiment and find what works best for you.

I keep my form as perfect as possible .. Ass out chest out just below parallel almost ass to grass .. I was doing a lot of drop sets before.. John meadows style you can say.. 5 years ago I did a speed day and a heavy day following westside barbell training but without bands and chains so I had to make due what I had ... I got my squat up pretty quick that way..?i don't know if it's age now or what.. I tried maxing out last Sunday and I was stuck at below parallel almost look like l was pausing but I just couldn't get up and held it for a few seconds before I dumped it
