    One good one is a squat while standing on a bosu ball! It takes balance but when u get the hang of it it's AWESOME!

    You can add and subtract exercises as needed but make sure that you keep the squat as a core exercise on leg day.

    I hope to God you're not referring to squats done with a barbell!?!

    OP, front and back squats, deadlifts, cleans, calf raises and box jumps are my go to. I also do a good bit of stretching and some flutter-kicks.

    Haha no not with a barbell a sumo squat with dumbbell does the trick, just starting out a plain squat works good

    Try single leg lunges( back leg elevated on bench) also single leg deadlifts( backlog elevated again). Step up with weights or step up with a knee. Little variations make a huge difference.

    Single leg deadlifts with dumbbells, split jumps, lunge into high kicks, jump squats, quicker box jumps

    I have to laugh because I just did these this week. Having no sense of balance made them even more interesting but I think these are a keeper.

    I have actually seen some jackwagon try it, and yup, the result was hilarious. Luckily, he was the only one injured, so I didn't feel bad about laughing at his dumb/unconscious @$$.

    Surprised no-one mentioned stiff leg deadlifts. Great for your hamstrings, glutes and also lower back!

    My current leg day is:

    Squats
    Leg Press (skip the lockout, save your knees)
    Stiff Leg Deadlifts
    Hamstring Curls
    Barbell Calf Raises
    Seated Calf Raises

    I'll eventually get round to implementing lunges :P
