alternate front squats with conventional week by week

do the leg press heavy as you can go for those 3 sets

no need for seated and standing calves, alternate like squats above


if you want size and strength put your low reps into either leg press or squat and your higher reps into the other and change it around every month or so.

you were doing a tad too much for my liking in the one leg session but alternating those which ive mentioned will whittle it down a bit for you
