Can I completely replace squats with deadlifts and bench press

>bench press with weighted dips/pushups

How in the actual fuck do you think this is related to squats? If you do leg press and deads you'll be fine

read it again babe

I meant to replace the bench press with weighted dips/pushups.
And on another note, to replace the squats with just deadlifts.

The reason I'm asking this is because I can afford buying weights at home, but not a squat rack or bench. And if I do buy weights at home, it will pay off in a year of gym membership.

Sorry m8 but yes you can get away without squats and bench if you do leg press + deads and ohp + dips

>>38495455
no leg press or any machines. only option is deadlifts, and squats with lighter weight(cause no squat rack).

Then hack squats are your answer

Yeah OP you'll be fine, just be careful with weighted pushups, I fucked up my wrists doing those when I was just starting.

Also incorporate power clean into front squat, deadlifts are not quad dominant excercises.

Make your own rack. You just need something to load/deload on, and something to prevent you from dying.

I got something like pic related on Craigslist for $75. If it's not clear, the back side is a squat stand and you obviously use the bench for benching.

/fit/ I'm a beginner and when I do my squats my knees crack. Is that bad?

Any pain = bad, if there's no pain its typically fine. If its crazy fucking loud or worries you, just ask a doc

>Can I completely replace squats with deadlifts
no, deadlifts dont work your quads and posterior chain (due to the hip angle of the deadlift) enough


t. soemone who deadlifts 5 plates

>deadlifts don't work your posterior chain
U wot

>>38495921
you don't go deep enough to work your entire chain

stop squatting for 3 weeks but keep deadlifting on the third week squat again and you'll notice only your quads and a spot between your glutes and hammies are sore
