For working the entire lower body in one set, this exercise has you covered.  You'll do alternating reps of dumbbell split squats and what are similar to a one-leg stiff legged deadlift.  

This hits the glutes hard, along with the lower back (with the forward lean), as well as the quads and hams.  Great exercise for improving deadlifts.
