routine help

[maximus__]

my old routine has got a bit stale and is boring the hell outta me i was thinking bout something similar to bill starrs 5x5 but i cant get access to a squat rack got anything i could do for my legs in place of back squats (it will only be temporary till i can get to the gym)

Hack Squats, Clean to Front Squat or OH Squats, Bulgarian Split Squats

will these work as good

i'd go with hack or unilateral versions....u can still lift heavy...

hacks stress more quads instead of posterior chain but they are still better than nothing....

i'd also do unilateral training as the weight used will be much lighter yet still very effective...

I would also consider increasing overall volume quite a bit....sets of 5 for sets of 8+ or something.....you're using lighter weights so you can increase overall intensity by compensating with the increased volume....you can also split volume among more exercises....like lunges, step ups, etc...

Also since you're lifting lighter on squats, I would go heavy on deads weekly....

Overhead or front squats...

look for a gym that has a squat rack
