Compound Lift:

- Squats (Front, Back & Hack - Pick two)

Quads:

- Leg Press

- Leg Curls (Laying or Sitting - Pick one)

- Lunges

Hams:

- Stiff-leg Deadlift

- Goodmornings

- Leg Extensions

Glutes:

(No need to directly hit glutes, you will inadvertently hit them with other workouts)

Calves:

- Calf Raises (These can be done multiples of ways, either on the smith machine standing on the edge of two plates, or while doing leg presses. If your gym has one, you can also use a seated calf raise machine.)

This basically

Make sure to at least go to parallel on the squats, after squats i usually do calf raises with the squat bar too

Yes please don't be the many to do half squat reps. Go Parallel, forget trying to stack weight.. it won't be effective if your range of motion is 5-6 inches. I do not know if you're a beginner or not, assuming you are since you don't know the array of leg workouts, start with just the bar to get your form down, and once you did 2 warm up sets of just the bar to get use to the movements then start adding weight. I'd go with 25's then move up from there. Once you get it, you're golden!

Join the NBA.

No but just lower the wait a bit then until you can go at least parallel, then work your way up

what is a good morning

Can also do Romanian Deadlifts instead. I like them more, less uncomfortable.

You like them better than traditional deads?

Depends on how my back feels that day.

Don't squat and DL on the same day. Save Dling for a back day or whever you've recovered from squatting/leg day. Lately I've been starting out with squats  (ATG) then following up with leg press. After I do a couple sets of leg curls/extensions. Focusing on performing eccentric contraction of the muscles at work (negatives). I finish up with stiff-legged deadlifts to hit my glutes and hamstrings hard. Calves I do on a different day. PM me if you have any questions.

I prefer SLDL than good mornings (uncomfortable). SLDL targets more hamstrings/glutes.  Traditional deadlifts emphasizes more on lower back.

My leg routine changes every 4-6weeks.

I would stick to basics i.e. squats, leg press, lying hamstring curls, leg extensions. In regards your height try using the smith machine for squatting.
