I never know what exercises to do on leg days, that is after squats and stiff leg deadlifts
At home I have only a barbell and in the gym there a machine for leg extensions/curls.
Could you please suggest some other quad/ham exercises (non machine) -- or maybe I should do squats/stiff leg deadlifts the GVT way 10x10.
By the way at home i do hack squats as I do not have a squat stand and I can't get a 70kg barbell on my back! Are hack squats as good the normal ones?
Thank you

No, hack squats aren't as good as normal squats. With regular squats, you get all sorts of secondary stabilizer muscles involved and you can do a deep ROM.
In my experience (which is somewhat limited), if you do a few good squat, deadlift, and calf raise sets, you shouldn't be able to do much more on leg day.

With a BB, you can start off with squats, then front squats, then SLDL's, and then lunges. Or in whatever order you want. All of these will build HUGE legs.

Yeah the lunges are awesome, set it up so you can walk across the room doing lunges with the barbell, there are many variations of squats that you can do too.

step ups onto a bench can be damn good as well. (bb across your shoulders as if you were squatting)
