What else should I do other than squats on leg day?

[neelyboy]

I already do deadlifts on a diff day (bi's/back), and I do 5x5 for squats. After I'm done with that I usually do 3 sets of 25 reps of calf raises, then don't do any more leg exercises, as I work out shoulders on that day also. Should I add in leg press or lunges or something else? Any advice is welcome, thanks.

Lunges, step ups, or my personal preference: MORE squats - lower weight, higher reps.

Is it recommended to do leg press after squats? I've heard it isolates the quads more.

on my second leg day i do front squats and then back squats. after doing those two you won't be asking such silly questions.

Something for the hamstrings?

I do one legged leg press after a few shoulder exercises post squats. Feels pretty manly...I'm basically doing them until I get comfortable with bulgarian split squats. Unilateral work seems very important to me

my leg day consists of squats, leg press, lunges, leg curl, calf raises, and jump squats. you can do more than one quad workout, most guys i know do at least two on leg day.

Yup. This.

Do it to the point where you feel like your legs will explode. and when you've finished the third set, and you try to walk, your legs feel as if they're shaking and your struggling to stand or walk properly.

Good-ass-job!

Im sure hamstrings are part of the legs.

I do calves ands hams aswell on my leg day.

Squats
Seated Leg Curl
Leg Extension
Stiff-leg deadlifts (pretty light, feel it well in calves and hams)
Calf Raises - both seated and standing
Lunges



Lunges are alpha.

My legs were shaking uncontrollably after doing this workout last time.

i love leg day more then anything.

i do 4x20 leg press
3x10 squat
3x15 leg extension
3x15 reverse leg curls
3x10 lunges

i imagine i need to up my weight and do less reps, but its an awesome workout.

leg press is a an absolute must as a warm up before squat for me. however they do work different parts of the leg, so i dont see why you wouldnt do both.
