Thread for people who gave up on squatting. Whether it's due to an injury or because you realized that squatting is a meme unless you're a powerlifter.
What are some exercises that you do to replace squats?
I deadlift, leg press, and calf raise 2x a week.

That's dumb.
My friend does nosquat and he has no gains.

Deadlifts are just quarter squats.
other way around lad, squat 2-3x a week, don't do conventional deadlifts, instead snatch grip/romanian DLs and rows
I did squats yesterday and they sucked my soul out. Still gonna do them though. I'm a dyel closing on on lmao2pl8

WEIGHTED SQUATS WITH A DIP BELT
As long as you deadlift this is the ONLY exercise you need to make up for not squatting. It's literally the same movement pattern, crushes the quads, crushes glutes, crushes hips, everything you get from squatting except core, bracing, hip hinge etc. All of those things you get from deadlift.

DL'S hit the quad if you're pushing with your legs properly.
This is why I leg press though. Takes care of the quads.
