Legs and Glutes

Most people dread leg day but I have always loved it. I specifically train my legs and glute twice a week. On Sundays I love to do heavier weight and lower repetitions. It usually takes me 90 minutes so I know on Sunday Morning I have extra time to get the whole workout in. My second leg workout of the week is usually on Wednesday or Thursday depending on my schedule. I still include main exercises like barbell squats and various deadlifts but try to incorporate more repetitions and use less weight. Below are examples of my two favorite leg workouts:
