I want my legs to become proportionally stronger bluh-bluh and more toned, but i dont want them to become bigger a.k.a. i want to minimise legs hypertrophy.
How should i train with my body to achieve this (or in gym)?
 
If you want to minimize hypertrophy do less reps but more weight, take longer rest time, and eat a smaller surplus
(i think)
 
This is my current split atm.

Sunday- Rest
Monday-Chest+Arms
Tuesday-Delts
Wensday-Back+Leg Accesories
Thursday-Chest+Arms
Friday-Delts
Saturday-Back+Leg Accesories

For the leg Accessories do leg curls/leg extentions 5x15 Supersetted.

Fuark 7 day routine, I'm way too lazy to do that shit, 3 days a week is the most I'd do tbh.

Don’t minimise leg hypertrophy what the fuck? If you want the clean X shape. Build those tree trunks.

My legs arent skinny and i want more like v than x shape, not a fan of big quads etc
 
Don't train legs at all. Maybe do a lil bit of cardio to get them toned.

Hang on dude. I think you have a weird image of what big quads means to a natural lifter. Here's John Venus's legs for example

They look proportionate, and he's been training them a fuck ton harder than you ever have. Stop looking at juiced up people and saying "oh yeah, I don't want to look like them as a natural, I'll stop training legs or one day I'll look like Ronnie Coleman by accident"

Yes, this one's are better, but i still think its better to have kinda skinny muscled legs than hunky ones. Maybe i just cant imagine it properly and it really does lack balance though

That's stupid in my opinion, bigger legs will make your waist look smaller, making your upper body and v taper look better. It's a win win.

Show me a picture of a natural lifter at a reasonable bodyfat with "hunky" legs, and I'll show you a picture of a fake natural.
 
Sprints and hill climbs are all you need tbh for legs

First one is the winner for me, despite not being ideal he looks better than second one
