Free weights for legs?
I've been working extended hours for months and have ditched the gym to save some time.
Now my entire program is done on a simple home bench with free weights, and this change has actually resulted in some dramatic gains.
I'm sticking to the heavy, basic power movements and the level of intensity has gone way up.
I'm happy with this set up and I'll stick with it for a while... but I was hoping some of you might have some suggestions for hitting the legs using b-bells and d-bells.
My entire leg day has been reduced to
- behind the back b-bell hack squats
- standing calve raise w/2x4 under toes
Aside from getting a squat rack, are there any other exercises one can do at home?
Thanx in advance."Just cuz I'm big and fine don't mean I aint got feelings ..."

here's a couple I like.
lunges
dumbell squats
stiff leg deadlifts
you should also be able to do light weight back and front squats using the clean and press to get the bar where you want it. (maybe one of the more knowledgeable users will input here) it seems possible but I haven't tried to enter into either squat from that position.
That's all I got right now.

DB lunges. Strait leg deadlifts with the bar, and Calf raises
Lift hard, or go home!
