damn man that's a lot of sets, you have a lot of endurance, no way i could do 26 sets of barbell squats and leg presses.

He doesn't do that, shit for brains. Read it carefully, he said he DOESN'T DO squats. He only perform leg presses, 2 legs and then one leg as his pressing movements for the lower body. Eventually he will end up his workout with LIGHT FORNT SQUATS.
Even withou the squats, still a hell of a lot of work. Very respectable. Heavy leg training covers only one end of the equation. The endurance part is what really exausts the tougher to grow leg muscles. You can meet this criteria by uping the reps, or the overall volume of sets and reducing resting time between them.

That's still a very good/respectable overall volume of work, fatty. Good job. My own overall volume for quads stays around the same as yours, minimum of 18, maximum of 22 sets.

Pistols (one legged squats) are probably the best overall leg exercise.
Sounds insane (balance-wise). But I really do like one legged hack-squats. Nice finishing movement, imo.

IMO, the most difficult, fucked up movement for legs is the smith machine front squat. That shit locks you into place, and the safety of the smith applies tremenduous pressure solely on the quads. It beats the shit out of your legs ina mercilessly manner.
