    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

    Cable kickbacks and push downs on the assisted pull up machine... You put your leg where you would put your knees and push down with the other leg at rest standing on the step.

    Also, incline leg press!
