Are there any substitutes for squats? I don't have a squat rack yet so it's not exactly an option currently.
kthx

You can use bodyweight and sprint. Hell, even hold a plate behind your neck and squat with that. It's better than nothing. Get more comfortable with the action of squatting.

Hack squats,leg press
ILS is a primal threat/mating display observed in the human male. The ILS display involves the male human holding out it’s arms away from it’s body at approximately a 20-40 degree angle and then walking with a slow deliberate gait inorder to look more imposing to other humans. The posture is used primarily as a form of non-verbal communication such as a mating display to attract or impress females or as a defense or dominance posture to appear larger to a threat or to intimidate rival males.

i find they work as well as normal front squats but it feels manly as f**k when you're doing them holding like 250lbs in your arms

Try do this, it's something they gave us at rugby for the guys who were going away on holidays and wouldn't have a gym or the guys who don't have a gym ever, just bodyweight exercises, not gonna give you serious gains, but will definitely get you some good endurance and explosive power:
4X20 prisoner squats
4X20 lunges ( 10 each leg)
4X20 jump squats (be sure to bring your legs as high as possible on the jump, and when you go back down go right into the next reps squat portion. Keep a flow)
4X20 bicycle lunges (jumping lunges, as you explode up, switch your legs and then land)
Again not gonna be brilliant for strength, but you'll definitely devlope your legs. So when you eventually get the appropriate stuff for squatting you will at least have a base.

At the gym, when the squat rack is being used, I usually stack the barbell on the bench rack, sit down, grab the bar, and stand up. The bench is low so I can at least "box" squat for a few sets. It'll be a bit hard to get the weight up, since you're starting from the negative portion, but it's better than no rack at all.
