I know I shouldn't care and I should just go and do what I know works for me, but it's not the first time and I have some kind of beef with every trainer at the local gym now
The hell should I do? I don't have the equipment at home since my legs are way too strong for home routines but I also feel weird coming back

>way too strong for home routines

Bull. Buy a bench and do Bulgarian split squats and one-legged hip thrusts.

Let me guess, most sets are under 10 reps and you stop before failure? Try 15-20 to failure.

Do a lot of bicep curls and tricep pushdowns.

Ignore them. That's it. Man up.
In terms of aesthetic progress, there are 3 things that hampered my progress that I wish I knew:
1. Lift to/near failure (don't lie to yourself)
2. Actually eat 1.5-1.75x bodyweight (kg) of protein every day. It's not an exaggeration
3. Sleep 7-9 hrs
Other than that, trust the process and stay lean

I can already do Bulgarian split squats with 60 pounds on each leg, but idk what could I do at home for hip abduction or for training the back of my legs
>>

I usually do 4 sets of 10 reps and if I fail, I keep going with less weight
Should I still try 15?
>>
>>74605726
15 is good, or you can alternate between 10 and 20.
>if i fail
You should fail, or when you get experience know you're really close. It's more reliable just to fail. Adjust weight so you fail at the right reps.

And at least 12 sets per muscle per week.
