Please evaluate how shitty is my begginer home-gym program. Please try to refrain from memes and present valid aruments when stating critique. Sorry for baiting you with a chick-pic but I wanted to get your attention. Thank you.
My workout: 3xWeek, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, All exercises done in 3 sets, each 8 reps.
I would love to do squats but I can't afford squat rack yet.
Juan Davis
It could be worse, but dls are no substitute for squats
Alexander Howard
I...Is this a shop? She's a real life street fighter character.
Colton Murphy
Should I keep going on this program anyway? Is there any alternative to squats that can be done without squat rack?
Andrew Phillips

Zercher squats

Clean into front squat
What's your progression scheme
Asher Cox
If you really are beginning (i.e. untrained) then add squats and you'll be fine. Just add 5 lbs (2.3 kg) to each lift every week or so, until you plateau. Then you'll need to start thinking. You're in babygains mode right now. You lift, your strength will shoot up.
Matthew Rogers
Looks interesting, thanks.
I don't have any strict plan. I just try to add +1kg on each training and if I fail I note it and then try again during next session. Is it wrong?
Luis Harris
Unfortunately as I said I can't affor the squat rack yet.
Asher Sullivan
just clean then lift/lower over your head. The weight you're lifting would be limited tho.
Joseph Bennett
Or just front squat....

>Oh fuck...pic in OP is the only good one, isn't it. Depends on how high your test is. I'd fuck her.
Ethan Perez
>depends on how high your test is
Probably not higher than hers, but regardless would be down
Levi Gray
>but regardless would be down who wouldn't?
Andrew Phillips
I miss her, and can not find new content.
Perfect muscle girl. Low bf, but not too low, and no fake breasts.

Obviously you need squats. Do high rep DB squats if you don't have a rack. I would recommend adding some arm and trap isolations like curls, flys, raises, and skull crushers just for some aesthetics while youre getting strong, but you've got the basics down.
How do you progress?
Oliver Taylor
holy fuck brehs
Sebastian Myers
SS is geared around squats, he said he doesn't have a squat rack yet you illiterate fuck.

sub steinborn lift for squats, kiddo
Aiden Ramirez
Damn, why didn't I think about it - dumbell squats sound like an amazing idea. Thank you so much I will try them undoubtedly! If I was to add some more exercises I guess I would have to introduce some AxBx interchangeability, since my workout already takes like 40-45 minutes??? I don't know if my progress is good or bad I manage to usually add +1kg ~every second or third traning. I haven't taken any pics so far but I can already tell my forearms are growing and getting more veiny.
Michael Russell
would literally rather fuck a man no homo
Nathan Lewis
Here's a pic for you, then. No homo.
Jordan King
If you absolutely cant get a squat rack, then dumbell squats (like other user said), as heavy as you can.
Also, research hack squats. Still not a perfect substitute for back squats, but still ok.
Lincoln Howard
Thank you, I appreciate the answer. I will check the hack squats as they seem much more "safe" that squats.
John Roberts
clean & front squat?
David Stewart
I have pretty much the same equipment as you OP. Bench but no squatrack I have my workout as push/pull
Just use front-squats instead of normal squats. Just clean them into position. I could get a squatrack but currently I don't really see any need to do so because of just one lift.
Samuel Robinson
If you dont have a squat rack learn to do power cleans and do front squats. I did that for months when i broke my rack, worked wonders. Thing is you cant fuck around with form on front squats, and even less on cleans, it needs to be really good.
Heres what i used to do during that time.
Beginner routine
A : Bench 3x5 Squat 3x5 Pendlay row 3x5 Ohp lightweight 3x10 Lat Raises 2x8-12 db Curls 2x8-12
B: OHP 3x5 Diddly 2x5 Close grip bench 3x10 Chins 3x amrap DB lunges 3x15 Skullcrushers 3x8-12
C: Bench 3x5 Power clean 4x3 Incline bench 3x10 Dumbell row 3x8 Lat raises 2x8-12 BB Curls 2x8-12

Do uphill hiit sprints after C day. Slow 5k run after A day.
Carter Powell
Do 5x5 SL instead and get a squat rack.
Until then you could do hack squats
Angel Ward
>ever recommending SL top fucking kek
Anthony Mitchell
Don't do any meme exercises. There is no substitute for squats, but if you can bench, then you can do split squats. You can also do higher rep, higher set squat routines if you're willing to OHP the bar to your back, or do front squats. I'd also suggest that, so long as your body type allows it, to do conventional deadlifts one day and sumo another.
James Allen
r8 my schedule: Day One: Clean and Jerk, Pallof Press, Weighted Situp, Lat pulldown
Day Two: Bench Press, Dumbbell pullover, Front Delt raise
Day Three: Dead Lift, lat pulldown, Bent over dumbbell fly,
Day Four: Squat, Hammer Curl, Barbell curl, tricep dip
Day Five: Overhead Press, barbell shrug, hip thrust
All excercises are 3x10 and I also run 3km every second day, combined with 30 situps and 20 pushups for a warmup each day
John Collins
a squat rack can be literally two stands you can buy for 30 euro/bucks
Jayden Martin
Thanks for all the answers. I need to go to sleep now but I've read all of the posts in the thread and they helped me greatly. I was about to drop the squats completely but now I see that it wasn't the best idea as some of the alternatives look really promising. Once again, much appreciated.
Thanks. I'm strongly considering switching to your routine.
Chase Brown
>3x8 deadlifts, three times a week pretty shit, as expected. do a real program, go to a gym, do squats.
