Looking for some advice/suggestions on exercises I can substitute into the M&S P.H.U.L. routine (https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/phul-workout) to fit with the limitations of my home gym. I currently avoid doing traditional deadlifts due to the noise (currently do stiff legged or RDLs), but if they are essential I could buy a set of crash pads to include traditional deadlifts.
Mainly looking for the best replacements for: Leg Curl, Leg Press, and Leg extension, as I lack the machines to do those. If there are additional attachments I can add to my current equipment to do these (or a variation of these) without the specialty machines I’m all ears.
My equipment:
Barbell - Ohio Bar - plates in 2.5 pound increments (5-300)
Ez Bar
Powerblock to 50 pounds in 2.5 pound increments
High/low cable with lat pull-down, straight bar, tricep rope, cuff attachments
Calf raise block
A pic of my gym so you can get an idea of the size constraints I’m in:
Is it as simple as doing Dumbell lunges/split squats for the hypertrophy portions targeting the quads, and RDLs to replace the hypertrophy portions of the hammies?
Thanks in advance, I come from a running background and have found the realistic advice given on this sub to be very helpful. If it matters, I’m coming off of the M&S 3 Day Dumbell/barbell program (https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/dumbbell-barbell-home-workout.html)
