Are there any alternatives to squats?
I don't have a barbell rack at the moment and I am working out at home, what other exercises can I do to get a similar result?
I am currently doing deadlifts (beginner)

I am forced to clean the weight up to my back because I don't have a squat rack. With hack squats it's impossible to go below parallel.
Because I can't really get much weight up, I do 20 rep squats, those are tough...

Learn to do clean grip front squats.
I would also suggest lunges since you don't have to use as heavy a weight as for squats.timbahwolffff on Instagram

the "best" alternative to squat, though not really comparable, would be a trap bar deadlift.

Training regularly but no progress?
You need one or more of these: more food, more weight, more reps or more rest.

Barbell hack squats are well worth persisting with, its a cracking exercise, then do SLDL for hams. Sorted!
