Kings of bodybuilding powerlifting workouts, is that enough for u bro! 😂😂

Fixed it for you.

Unless you're a powerlifter who is competing in those specific lifts, there is no necessity for anybody to squat or deadlift if they don't want to. And there are plenty of bodybuilders who never stepped under a squat rack. There are plenty of other exercises which are capable of inducing hypertrophy in leg muscles - both compound and isolation.

...Answer: First and foremost, while I’m sure my answer will offend the hardcore/hardheaded lifters, there is no requirement to perform squats (back or front) to build big legs (or even build leg strength). I know that this contradicts everything that has ever been written on the Internet but the idea that someone must squat to get big is mainly a lot of macho nonsense...

I've gained some strength and muscle in my legs without traditional squats and deadlifts (though I did have some advanced bodyweight squats in my routine). It can certainly be done.

body weight squats and lunges ive found to be very beneficial to basic strength and toning. I've also noticed they are great just to keep my legs loose. I try to do 100 of each every 2nd or 3rd day. just a thought.
