Basically, I would like to do SL 5x5 however I do not have a squat rack. I am limited to a weight bench and barbells. I can only do hack squats with a barbell so I have added another day to the routine to focus on legs. Since hack squats are hard to squat with high weight since my shoulders have to be constantly engaged to place the bar in the right position for the squat. I have tried Zercher Squats but they are too painful. I understand it isn't really StrongLifts anymore but this is my rendition.
Day A: Bench Press/Barbell Rows/Hack Squats
Day B: OHP/Deadlifts/Hack Squats
Day C: Bench Press/Romanian Deadlifts/Hack Squats
I would follow the SL structure with rest days, etc. Also, I have included another bench press in Day C so my progress doesn't fall behind. Romanian Deadlifts are there to target my hamstrings so I can work my legs out more on my limited leg day. I have included hack squats in every session like SL and I feel the volume can counteract the lack of weight of the actual squats. Also, I am trying to avoid too many accessory exercises so I do not overwhelm myself - sticking to barbell.
I posted this on xxFitness but I don't think I explained well enough. Hopefully I can get a second opinion over here. Thank you guys
