You can certainly use leg presses if squats are a problem for you. If you can keep deadlifts in there then the routine should work fine.

Do the leg presses as you would squats. One set of twenty rest paused reps.

You can continue with this type of training for as long as poundage continues to increase in at least 4 of the exercises. When progress stops switch to either a more conventional routine for a while or select different exercises along the same lines and repeat a ultra hardgainer approach.
