I used to use the thick resistance bands. The large ones that go under the foot and over the shoulder. Maybe because I’m a short, small person it works out for me. But these were great for garage gyms! 🤯

Most PFs have 75 lb DBs. That’s gonna be your best bet. Obviously you could squat with the smith machine but it uses less stabilizing and accessory muscles. I work for PF and I can say that while I don’t think we are getting barbells anytime soon, we are getting plate loaded machines and I’m anxious to see if any are lower body focused like a hack or pendulum squat.

Bulgarian split squat. 😅

If it was me, I’d just do leg press and call it a day. Maybe supplement with some walking lunges ✌🏽

Hack squat

Reverse lunges. DBs or KB held goblets. Makes my hr max.

Could also do some goblet squats if they've got DB's 🤷🏻‍♂️ There's a girl in our gym, plays AFL (Aussie football) who does a heal elevated version of goblet squats. Squat, step out with left leg & split squat, back to goblet squat, then right leg split squat back to goblet, etc.. Does about 4 es, then drops the weight & does another 4 or 5 es body weight! 😆

Bulgarian Split Squat is the universal answer 🙃 But Smith Machine Squats are almost as good & then there’s also Leg Press.

Goblet squats with the heaviest dumbbell or kettlebell you can hold up at chest height for a protracted period.

Goblin squats are a good one
