Hi, I am currently on Week 2 of the hypertrophy training program. I have a home gym with equipment to include a squat rack, barbell, trap bar, and free weights. Since I do not have a Belt Squat machine would you recommend I replace that exercise with front squats, split squats, or any other type of leg exercise?

Split squats or do belt squats with a dip belt and mats 🙂
