Is 5x5 squats twice a week enough for legs?

or should I be doing more?

I don't really care about my legs looking aesthetically nice, I just want them somewhat strong. I'm not willing to put much effort into them as of now.
Currently my best set is 105kg x 5 which I know isn't great but I just want to keep moving up in that.
Do I need to be doing gay calf curls and shit or is that enough?

btw I do a P/P/L routine but I just put the squats into my push days.

Add deadlifts with emphasis on pulling with your legs (so maybe stiff legged) and youre set. You might not need to tho, squats have given people huge legs b4 on their own

10 sets of back squats in a week is too much, it’s good to have variety, keep 3 sets of back squats and do 3 sets of leg press, that should be enough leg volume for a week (if you wanna do more, include a split squat or leg extension), rest of your legs should be hamstrings and glutes so include a rdl movement and do it twice a week (ideally once with a pause.)

you can do squats 3x per week, sets of 3x5, add 5lbs to the bar every session

if you're recovery is in order you can do that until you're strong as shit
