It’s saying that after 3 sets then the incremental benefit tails off - but I don’t think just front and back squats would cover the quads, glutes and core for a full workout.

Since wrecking my shoulder I am doing
Front squat, 5 sets of 10 reps
Leg press, 5 sets of 10 reps
Leg extension 3 sets of 12 to 15
(never go heavy on leg extension, there is a shear load on the knee)
Leg curl, 3 or 4 sets of 10It’s probably overkill, first set is easy though. Four sets would be fine. I do it twice a week. Once is not enough, three times is too tiring.
Lunges or split squats could sub for leg extension. Splits squats with back leg in a bench are good for balance.

So if I am to follow the graphic above then it's just 3 sets of back squat + then 3 sets of front squats making it a total of 6 sets for the general quads/glutes/core area ... and then it's time to leave the gym?
