Are squats and calf raises enough?

I'm trying to simplify my leg workout...short and extremely hard. I know my quads will be worked, but will my hams be worked enough with just squats?

If you squat like a powerlifter, then they will take more of a beating than your quads will. However, I suspect you squat closer to olympic style. I would suggest throwing in some SLDLs if that is the case.



The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
