id like to know some fool proof excercises for my calves, hamstrings, glutes and quads. Allthough the problem is i only have a barbell, and dumbells no access to other equpmnent. Id like to build them big if anyone has some decent excercises they can tell me, id be very greatfull. At the moment im doing squats and a standing calf raise with my barbell.

Lunges and Straight Leg Deadlift are two other excercises you could try, but you will find it very difficult to get any sort of real size if you are limited to this equipment.

Sumo Squats with Dumbells. That weird lift where you squat with a barbell between your legs (Help me out here, Sam69).

Front squts,high rep back squats,zercher squats,overhead squats,bulgarian squats,lunges to front or sides or even at a 45% angle,farmers walk lunges,hindu squats,one legged calf raises,running on tiptoes...should be enough for now...

All the above can be done with either barbell or dumbbell...
