They have a list of all the leg exercises offered here. I think you listed everything. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.

You can also do power cleans if you dare. These work almost the entire body, but hit the legs quite hard. Cleans are a great excercise that no one does anymore. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."
