how do i know the workouts for (lower) are enough?

im starting to reach the conclusion that to worry about muscle imbalance is overthinking it, and I can't premeditate a totally perfect routine. I need some trial and error. Still , I think the general idea should be to get like 5 workouts per muscle group, and I should make sure they cover all the muscle groups. Thoughts are appreciated fellas and girls. Thanks

    An easy way to know that your program is balanced is to use an established program rather than making up your own. Fierce 5, Starting Strength, A Workout Routine, AllPro's, etc. All are good beginner programs.

    My gym access is only 4x, and im trying really hard to find a routine that doesnt require squatting. I can only try and substitute so far. I cant risk hurting my knee further, but i can find ways to keep off it
