Leg Training At A Home Gym???

[Texas Ranger]

For the guys that workout at home. What exercises do you do for legs? Squats, Front Squats, Barbell Hack Squats, Reverse Lunges & Leg Extensions for quads. Seated Leg Curls, SL Deadlifts & Good Mornings for hamstrings. Did I miss anything???

Those are all you need for great legs. Mainly squats and its variation and the deadlift with its variation.

Other exercises I do is bulgarian split squats, sissy squats, hip belt squats, romanian deadlifts, and seated good mornings. All these you can do from home.

you can build a great set of legs with a good weight set and a power rack. Squats, stiff legged deadlifts, front squats, and GM's can be formulated into a good power/mass program on a 2x per week split. BTW - calf raises with a dead bar on your shoulders seems far more effective than all the gay machines that they have at a commercial gym.

I have a power rack at the house. I'll do a routine something like this.

Leg Extensions(Strictly As A Warmup)
Squats- 5 x 10-15 reps
Reverse Lunges- 2 sets x 10 reps
Romanian Deads- 5 x 6-8 reps
Seated Leg Curls- 2 sets x 6-8 reps
Barbell Calf Raises- 4 sets x MAX

Every 2 weeks I'll alternate Front Squats for Squats & Barbell Hacks for Reverse Lunges.

I'm an olympic lifter and my leg work consists of back squats, front squats, and RDL's. I have a power rack at home so it makes it easier to go heavy without a spot.

only other thing left out were box squats..will help raise your squat and dead tremendously..

Yup...I've always believed that a cage (or rack) and enough weight are all you need to build any muscle group, especially legs IMO. Even when I had gym memberships I never saw much use for the machines, even if I felt like waiting in line for them. The closest thing to a machine I ever use is for leg curls to get my hammys, but that attaches to my bench.
