with very little choice i agree, nothing wrong with front squats on the smith and you can do split squats too, i only use a smith for split squats for balancing reasons. so many leg exercises you can do without a squat rack and still build solid legs. a lot of this year i hurt my groin and could not do squats, but my legs still grew in size/ strength. legs are the funniest body part to work because you can do so much with them, love working legs!!!!
Super quick list you can do:
Dbl Stiff Legged Deads
Dbl Split Squats
Dbl Step Ups
Dbl Walking Lunges
Dbl Lunges ( All 4 main types )
Dbl Squats
Dbl Leg Curls
One Leg Presses
Leg Presses
Side Leg Presses
Single Leg Curls
Leg Curls
Single Leg Extensions
Leg Extensions
Smith Split Squats
Smith Single Leg Squats
Smith Front Squats
Like everyone else, would not to regular squats on the smith, just does not feel right, hard to explain. As you can see you have tons of exercises to choose from and still get growth, strength gains will not be the best, but beats doing nothing.
