Hi,
I'm really struggling to get a bodybuilding leg workout, since going to a new gym. Its completely free weights = Dumbbells and barbells is all they have. I'm looking for a decent leg workout with free weights only.
Can any one help me? I've tried to the net but its hopeless.
Many Thanks
Ray
It depends how your routine is structured, but some great free weight exercises for legs include:
Squats (back squat, hack squat, box squat, front squat) - various stances (narrow, medium, wide), various bar position (high, low).
Lunges (walking, reverse, stationary, etc).
Deadlifts (conventional, sumo, straight-legged, etc).
Any leg routine based around these kind of lifts has all bases covered :)

throw in some calf raises and you'll be set

calf raises
lunges.

Cheers mmorton that's helped me out. I found it difficult to get the right format of what I need to do. Before I was in a bodybuilding gym that had machines and free weights before it was easy. Getting my head round free weight only was a bit of a challenge. I go to a charity run gym in Perth, Scotland
Thanks for your Help

Squats, Ass to grass.
You're welcome.
Everything else is optional.
Back Squat
Front Squat
Romanian Deadlift
Calf Raises
Or do a high frequency full body workout ie. SS, All Pros.

Amen to that I agree.
You can even do your hamstring curls and leg extensions with a dumbbell and a flat bench if you must do them.
There is no exercise machine out there that does not replicate a movement done with a barbell of dummbells.

You're welcome. Free weights are you best bet in my opinion. You'll get used to it and then will never go back! Good luck.
