I think I have over looked my legs...
I've been doing S&S and recently started doing deadlifts but today I was quite humbled when I attempted to do a set of barbell low-bar back squats and noticed that 135lbs was giving me a challenge while doing 3 sets of 5. Yet my shoulders and back are relatively strong —I'm able to press a 40kg kettlebell and deadlift over 400lbs.
If I wanted to focus on improving leg strength and composition, which kettlebell movements would you recommend?
The options that come to mind are:
Any thoughts?

The options that come to mind are:
- Goblet Squat (wouldn't be able to go too heavy due to the single bell)
- Double Front Squat
- Clean and Jerk (I've noticed that many GS athletes who perform the long-cycle tend to have strong legs)
Any thoughts?
