Single-leg training, particularly with free weights, can hold an incredibly valuable place in a well-rounded training program, not only because of the added muscle development that training one leg at a time can bring, but because they can help preserve joint health and maintain flexibility and mobility at the same time.
While the vast majority of your training should be comprised of standard-issue straight sets (a single set performed at or near failure, followed by a rest period), there can be value in the intelligent use of different intensity techniques that go beyond what a straight set will allow.
In bodybuilding, intensity techniques such as drop sets, rest-pause sets, static holds, and partial reps are fairly commonplace as a regular part of training. Another technique that I think personally gets overlooked is the superset and its variations.
