Train your legs once per week, possibly mid week for you, to avoid overtraining and allow for recovery.

I have one leg day a week, but i do deads on back day. So my legs get worked twice a week, once a lot and once as 2ndary muscles. When i first started lifting my legs would get ridiculously sore, now they just are slightly sore after leg day.
A2tG Squat = 315 x 4 (350 x 1)
Deadlift = 315 x 5 (350x1)
Bench Press = 195 x 6 (??? x 1)

Legs are pretty important when it comes to training. Try doing them 1-2 times a week.
LIFT HARD, LIFT SMART, LEAVE EDUCATED!!!
