Idk why people think leg days need to be excruciatingly difficult and only once a week. Squat pattern, hip hinge, leg curl, leg extension. 2 sets each, close to failure. You can add adductors and calves if you want

"Close to failure" is the excruciatingly difficult part

Taking a squat pattern close to failure is brutal lmao. Hinge patterns aren't much better

If it's easy, you're not close to failure, you're in moderate discomfort

I’m saying it’s not mentally challenging. If it’s mentally difficult then you aren’t getting as much of a mechanical challenge as you need. And don’t talk about “going past failure” cause that’s just a waste of time and effort

Discomfort and muscular failure are two different things. Discomfort is a neurological response and failure is a failure to recruit enough motor units/muscle fibers to lift the weight. Neither are difficult to achieve. You’re not fighting demons on leg days, you’re just mentally very weak
