QUOTE(NekoRacing @ Oct 31 2011, 04:58 PM) A gym just opened nearby my home. I trained for 3 weeks with the Power racks doing Squats. Just yesterday, I went to gym, the Power Rack went missing. They changed it for a Bench Press equipment. According to the owner, I was the only one out of 30 members who actually used the Power Rack. I can't do Starting Strength. Could anyone share any good workouts that doesn't need a Power Rack? I tried using the Squat machines, it sucks. Nothing beats free weight squats. Also, I can't signup for big gyms because I will be leaving the country in six months. That's messed up. Do they have a Smith machine? Leg press? Leg curl/extensions? |

I was thinking along the lines of making sure he gets some leg work in, instead of none at all, wasn't thinking about the program itself. But yeah I see where you're coming from. |

I'm currently doing my squats using the steinborn lift, as my golf club gym also doesnt have any racks.
Hey guys, a newbie bodybuilder here too, currently stagnant for a week+ because of exams.
Was wondering if I go beyond my knees (i.e asian squat) for my squats, its harmless right? Because I'm looking at some of the videos, they hardly go anywhere near parallel.
