How many sets of squats is enough on legs day?

[caraleio]

Ive been trying to get a good leg routine down for awhile now, without much success. I used to do 3 sets of squats and then a bunch of machines. I wanted to maximize my efforts so I realized squats are pretty much the best exercise you can do. I tried a bunch of other things like leg press but i cant find anything thats even close to squats as far as benefits and amount of time you have to do them. So anyway, right now I do 6 sets total of squats. Ill do 3 sets of 385 for 5-6 reps, then 330 for 8 reps. I have a small aerobics bench underneath me to let me know that im hitting good depth, and its about a foot and a half off the ground. So how many sets of squats is enough? I dont feel like im doing enough but i could be wrong? Should i do more...?

i'm doing around 3-4 sets of 5-7 each. with a few reps of lighter weight for warmups.

It is relative to how much you are pushing yourself, so the weights you are using are not best indication per se. On my heavy day, I would do between 4-5 sets 3-5 reps and wishing the agony to stop, then if I'm feeling a bit crazy I might throw a 20 rep set to send me to the Morgue . If you are pushing yourself you will know when you just had enough.

4-5 sets

Every time raise the weights or reps. 1st week I did 3x5 of 80kg, the next week 4x6 of 80kg, now on my next leg day I'll probably raise the weight.

Enough is until you can no longer do anymore
notsrs

to be honest I don't limit my workouts to sets & numbers, but more to how much more I can push out of me
