In my routine I do back two days before legs so my quads get sore from doing deadlifts, so when leg day comes I leave squats off the routine because my quads have already gotten a workout, and I just focus on hamstrings and calfs. Is this ok or are squats a must in order to get results in that area?

A routine free of squats? Can this work for legs?

If I were you, i would move back away from legs and keep squats... they are a must. Also, if you are sore alot from working out, it probably means your not stretching enough after your workouts. After I started Streching alot, i kept having the same gains with minimized soreness.

i just look at legs and lower back as the same thing. then you can do squats or deads and whatever else that involves lower body

Change your routine so you get 3-4 days rest between legs and back then.
Pure and simple, unless you have a medical reason that would prevent you from squatting.... well, you knwo what I'm going to say!Sam Parker
