I need a new direction for leg days. I usually do 3 sets of squts followed by either bulgarian deadlifts or l;unges, but I dread it every week and do not do all that proficient a job. All my other weork out days are fine, i dont know why I hate legs so much, but I do.

Anyone recommend a good, less dreadful leg,glutes workout?

leg extensions
leg curls
calf raises
stiff-legged deads for your hamstrings

(I would keep doing the squats though)

Ya, I would keep doing squats. I do them usually every leg workout. I have seen my best gains in my legs doing squats. Maybe mix squats up with leg press. I understand about hating leg days, I hate them also but after a great leg workout, I can hardly walk but feel great knowing I pumped another leg day out.

Many people don't like leg day because it is one of the most difficult muscle group to work out. It takes a lot of strength and focus. Your just gonna have to hack it. Goodluck and keep working them legs!
