need some exercises' replacements

[luka5]

Im considering switching to this routine: http://www.teenbodybuilding.com/andy3b2.htm but I have a minor problem.

I dont have equipment to do leg press and rack pulls. I wonder if hack squat machine instead of leg press would be good substitute and also what about rack pulls? are they really necessary? maybe its better to add another back exercise like pullups or bb rows instead?

Note: RM stands for repetitions maximum, so I start with a weight that I can do for about the designated number of reps and do as many as I can on each set.

There are a lot of ways to do rack pulls, all that you need are a couple of cinder blocks if you are training at home or you can stack some plates to pull off of if you are training at a gym that does not have a power rack. Worst case you could even do rack pulls in a Smith Machine if that was your only option.

Leg Press tends to target your glutes and hamstrings whereas hack squat tends to engage your quads a bit more, so I would not use them as interchangeable movements. A good substitute/replacement for leg press would squats, and you can change your squat stance/bar position to focus on different parts of your lower body if you are looking for variation. If you do not have the ability to squat then Sumo Deadlifts (wide stance) would be a potential alternative for leg press as well.
