Powerbuilding I Leg Press Belt Squat HBBS alternatives

[Smokes]

My normal squat is HBBS and I did that day 1, so for day 3 of powerbuilding I'm looking at alternatives. I do not have access to a leg press or belt squat machine. Thoughts on things that are simlar:

1) Front squat -> I've never done these, but can give these a go.

2) Belt squat using a cross over cable machine. I can set the pulley low and connect my belt (I usually use it for added weight pullups/dips). Never done belt squats though so unsure if 175 pounds (max on machine) is enough

3) Split squat?

Any other thoughts? No safety bar for SBBS either.

I would say the barbell front squats or split squats out of these three.

Update: So I went with front squats and after about 30 minutes of front squatting with just the bar/light weight I have come to the conclusion that I'm going to need some more practice before I can do it with meaningful weight.

So I went over to the crossover machine and was able to get set up and did belt squats, though there's only 150 in the stack, but I found a way to add 25 to the stack and then hang another 25. Combined it was a reasonable load for a set of 10.

I'm going to continue working on front squat form, but I ordered a low pulley for my lat pulldown/weight stack in my garage and will work with that in the mean time. My front squat challenges are a combination of being able to hit depth while staying upright enough that the bar doesn't fall off my clavicle.

Wouldn’t it be possible to simply do high bar on day three as well? Only lighter. Either just treat it like a light day and do similar sets as day 1 with lighter weights. Focus on technique, bar speed, short rest etc. or make it more challenging through amraps, myo-reps or something like that?
