Not that that's a bad thing; you're trying to build up your legs.
How about doing leg work twice a week instead of once?
You could do Monday and Friday leg workouts, say heavy quad work with lighter ham work on Monday and the other way around on Friday.
Wednesday you could do thickness-based back (deads, rack pulls, bent over rows, t-bars... ) and chest with perhaps some calf work tucked between some of your sets.
Maybe on the Monday workout you could do a few sets of weighted chins and a few sets of tris, and on the Friday workout you could toss in a few sets of millies and say some bicep work?
I find the older I get, the more I notice the benefit of hitting a bit of upper and a bit of lower each workout, rather than "rape my legs" day or "arm day", kwim?
