Came up with my programming over time seeing what maximizes input/output - sort of a trial and error. For the longest time i wasn't serous about legs because they weren't as flashy but for the past 4 yrs i've gotten more serious about legs.
You're much better off with a tried-and-true strength program like 5/3/1 or StrongLifts 5x5 or a well-known and received BB program.

If you're looking for strength+size, Jim Wendler's "Boring But Big" variation of his 5/3/1 programming might be a good option for you. Spoiler alert, you probably shouldn't be doing squats and deadlifts on the same day. They both put huge demands on your CNS if you're doing them at strength-building weights and one or the other of them will suffer if you're doing them together. My $.02.
