Best leg exercises besides squat and deadlift?
In my home gym I only have a barbell and some dumbbells. What are some other exercises I can do for my legs?

Reverse lunges > lunges.

Because they are harder to execute compared to lunges and I feel it more in my quads.

I f*ing luv reverse lunges. I really feel it in my butt the most. Regular lunges work my quads predominantly. I think they are both great exercises though.
You could also try one legged squats, plie squats, conventional deadlifts, sldl, side lunges, or sissy squats.

She'd have to clean the weight to squat. Not a good exercise to do without a squat/power rack.

Because the eccentric portion is accentuated and you have more control of teh movement.
