I just added a video. If you start with that basic movement (that is good form, btw) you can go on to elevate the back leg, OR the front leg..or alternate it if you like. You can progressively elevate the back leg until you end up with what Wolf posted..a bulgarian. And then there are more dynamic movements like dynamic (forward lunges, reverse lunges (a bit easier at first), walking lunges..

You can change the way you load them. From dumbells to barbell on back to front grip barbell.

In the video, he's using a fairly long stride length which will be a little more hams and glutes (good). Closer stride length will increase quad contribution a bit more. He is pushing off the heel (good). Only go as long and low as you can control the weight, whether bodyweight or added weight. Don't let the load "pull" you down lower that that range of motion where you are in control. Add range of motion as you go and work on mobility separately as well.

As you see it's really the same exercise except with the back leg on the floor. That upright torso you see in the vid is crucial.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
