Hey home gym bros and ladybros…

Looking to add some leg stuff (aside from the ubiquitous squat/deadlift) to my infused basement gym of doom. Relatively space limited, so probably just have room for one of these… thoughts? Alternatives?

Regarding leg days, I simply stick with squats deadlifts, and glute bridges. I don't train legs for power anyways. It's all endurance and time-under-tension for me (MTB, ski)

Yeah I cycle/run a lot, and have had good injury results by adding some dumbbell-based leg lifting, single leg work, more dynamic work, etc etc.

I will set up stuff to do real deadlifts once in a while, but I just don't love bar squats for a few reasons.

I got a cable tower recently and love how much variety it adds, and the ease of changing weights / grips / positions. Opened my eyes to maybe adding another machine-thing.
