What's the minimum you can get away with doing on leg days?

"muh legs". Idgaf about them until I get a big chest, shoulders and arms. I don't want to look like a chicken leg faggot either, but I want to do the least I can for now to put more effort into upper body.

5 sets of squats. What else should I do?

Imo big legs look good, but I feel like i'm fighting against time. Need to do what matters the most first. Legs can wait. Just don't want to get to the point that i'm too embarrassed to wear shorts.

I use to do just do 12 sets of leg press per week at around 15 reps a set.

so you don't need to do calves?

if you're physically active and move around alot I think you can get big calves naturally tbh

so you don't need to do calves?

even larry david can squat 500kg and has tiny calves because they cant grow

skip em!

I train legs once a week and exclusively do deadlifts for them.

 

[ItsOverCel]

Don't train them at all. Even 5 sets of squats will make your progress in the upper-body significantly slower

You can squat and RDL and build perfectly good legs. Definitely RDL or hip thrusts so you build your hamstrings and ass. Most other exercises are cope but you could switch off squat with leg press.
