I typically work legs 3-5 days a week depending on my schedule and how many days I can get to the gym. I’m a huge believer and practitioner of “if you want an increase in strength or growth in a particular muscle, you need to work it at least 3 days a week”. I know people are old school and like their muscle split days, but if you want a bigger chest, arms, legs it makes zero sense to me to work them once a week. Give a muscle an entire week off? Pffft. No. So this is my philosophy and it works.

As always, this is my workout, do not attempt unless you are already currently doing intermediate to advanced strength training. My workout isn’t for everyone & I didn’t post the sets/reps that I do because you should find your own pace even if it means low to no weight in the beginning.
I do upper body typically about 3 days a week. If I do upper body, I do it first and then add my leg workouts at the end.
Muscle growth requires many factors: progressive overload—you have to push the body & require a bit more with each week; good fuel intake--so pump up those protein grams; get adequate rest; PLEASE practice good form; and take time to warm up before and stretch afterwards.
