Do I really need any leg exercises besides squats? I also do deadlifts on pull day, but on leg day I just go all out on 5x5 squats.

Add high rep squats and ur good
I like to a squat variation for high rep stuff, like front or zercher
Idk why but legs are fricking boring & I've adopted 4x15 & calf raises 4x15
Leg accessories are just boring as frick unless you genuinely enjoy legs that's just how it is. I do RDLs, back squats, and leg presses at not even that heavy of weight and I have pretty good looking calves and huge hamd and quads

>posts dyel legs
fricking kek
you look like shit
opposite of muscle dysphoria is lil homies thinking they jacked
Powerlifters always have unaesthetic legs that look like fat lumps
When I grow up, I'm going to Squat University.
Jeez I wish my squat looked like that
Aesthetic AF tbh family
When squats get stale (it takes an absurd amount of volume for you to feel stimulated/you have nagging pains/they're not fun anymore)
squats are pretty bad for hamstrings, so add a hamstring exercise (leg curl, sldl/rdl, etc). also do some (single-leg) calf raises if you care about that.
but squat hit everything else (quads, adductors, glutes, spinal erectors), except for the rectus femoris head of the quads (which can be hit with knee extensions or hip flexion exercises).
>squats are pretty bad for hamstrings, so add a hamstring exercise (leg curl, sldl/rdl, etc
I came here to say this, I do RDL and started adding hip thrusts and my back stopped popping all the time and knee pain went away.
>what about the hamstrings
>what about the calfs
depends on what you want, your genetics, training intensity, etc. etc.
I'd highly recomend calf raises.
>oh b-but it's 100% genetics
it took me 3 years to find what works for mine and it was low reps, something everyone says is wrong for calves. you just need to find what works for yours, it can be something really weird and unconventional like mine needed.
do you use he machine or how do you load them
no machine at my gym, I just grab a box for more ROM and do unilateral raises holding a dumbell in one hand and having my other hand giving me support on the wall
