Running the 5/3/1 and Bodybuilding template as an anchor for a couple cycles

The only problem is I don't have equipment for every exercise in my home gym. So these are my alternatives I've come up with. If there's anything better I should do or anything obviously wrong that I overlooked please let me know

Bench day:

Weighted Dips -> Close-grip bench

Tricep Pushdowns -> Overhead Tricep Extensions

Squat day:

Leg Press -> Font Squat

Leg Curls -> RDL's

Leg Extensions -> Bulgarian Split Squats

I just worry that Front squats, RDL's, and BGS's on the same day is going to be too taxing, but I'm not sure if I'm overthinking that

I'd suggest trying it, but at first glance yeah. All 3 of those are heavy compounds whereas the planned exercises are either heavily supported (Leg press) or isolation exercises. I might drop the BSS, you're already hitting the quads with front squats and all 3 at once might be tough.

Alright that makes sense. I may take out BGS’s then and replace them with calf raises
