Yeah sure you can load it from the bench rack, but it'd be a little troublesome to get it on your back if back squatting, or shoulders if you're doing front squats.

A good dose of Bulgarian styled split squats, heavy dumbbell lunges, step ups and single legged squats, would do pretty anyway. Nothing written in stone I guess.

I'll leave the rest of the "No squats" debate to you and Desvaro. Have fun debating it out.

Wait. Why no squats?

Since when did I say no squats?

I just said I don't want to bulk up on my legs, but still wanna strengthen it.

Ok, got squats then.

I'm just surprised you never noticed Celebrity Fitness 1U has no squat rack. I did a thorough search for a squat rack the last time I went there but there wasn't any to be found. In the end, I ended up power cleaning the weights and front squatting for high repetitions. Then there was another issue....the free weights area. The floor, was full of holes and lumps..making it rather difficult to power clean the weights. I had to hang it and then power clean it.

Wonder where all the holes came from.

However, you are aware that with strength gains, chances are there will be growth on your legs right? As you get faster and stronger, you can't help but have your muscles grow as well. Probably not bulky growth, but it will still grow even if you're not aiming for it. It's the "side effects". Good side effects.

Maybe not if you have bell bottom jeans though.....

I do, but if you read back, I was asked why I don't squat heavier than I do.

And to put it simply, I said I don't want my muscles to be that big. I hope you get that.

Coolio. I know why you don't wanna squat more. You don't really care about huge legs, just want a good workout. I can easily understand that everybody's goals are different, that's why I didn't say more about the lack of the squat rack. Just figured I'd chip in on how you can still squat despite the lack of the squat rack.
