re: Fitness Questions (Leg Day (Literially))

I squat everyday (different variations) and do lunges and or run everyday. I hit legs really hard 1 day a week but do squats everyday and deadlifts (different variations) at least 2 times a week. Only working a muscle group once a week for fear of lack of recovery time is dumb. If you do it right and diet/sleep properly your recovery time won't be an issue. The more you do it the easier it will get. I hit front squats with a 5 sec pause this morning after I finished a chest focused workout. Legs tomorrow and won't be tired because my body has adjusted to squats/lunges daily.

ETA: my PRs on high bar and low bar have gone up drastically. Same with front squat and deadlift from squating daily if you do it right.

leg curls are really bad for your knees, as well as anything else that starts from a bent knee position with significant weight

The best solution IMO is a push/pull/legs split.

Here you'll have a leg focused day & a pull day, pairing something like rows with something like RDL's on the pull day.

Just get one of these

If you really work out your legs you should be too sore to work them out again. I am usually sore 5-6 days.
Warmup
3x10 light leg ext
4x10 leg press

Workout
I start at 135 doing sets of 8 adding weight until I get up to 365 then drop the reps to . Now add 20 pounds each set up to 425. At that weight I do 3 sets of 5. At that point I start taking off weight and adding reps each set back down to 135. So its about a dozen or more sets.
After that lunges, stiff legged dead lifts and calves.

If you are going to toss a gratuitous and poorly used word into your title, at least you could spell it right.

---

I Dead Lift on Sunday and Squat on Wednesday just to give myself max rest in between those 2 lifts

---

I switched my deadlift to back day so I wasn't doing two major lifts on the same day.

Leg day now is back squat
goblet squat
straight leg deadlift
calf raises

I'm six days a week right now work out legs twice a week

4 sets each
reps- 15,10,(5,12 drop set) increasing weights

My knees are bad and lunges make my knees feel like they may explode so I cut them out.

Squats
Lunges
Step-up Reverse Lunges
Bulgarian Squats
Goblet Squats
Pistol Squats

Answers kinda depend on what your goals are. You trying to get some size on your legs? Just get them stronger?

You're building a ton of capacity, which will help with them not burning out during a long workout, but that's all I can see right now. If you want some size, you'll need to adjust your rep scheme and give your legs some rest days to heal and build.

I ride the bike 5-6 days a week, mix up some Mountain Bike, Cyclocross, Zwift, Road miles, hills, sprints etc.
