squats and deadlifts mandatory?

[Buiuwo]

So my new gym doesn’t have a squat rack and doesn’t have an area to do deadlifts
some people will use a curl bar and do them on the floor but it’s not really encouraged as the owner is really strict about people who are damaging the floor and there are signs up not to do them.
Anyway I was wondering if these were mandatory and if so maybe I can buy my own stuff to keep in my garage and then just use the gym for other things.

you can do box squats just by holding a dumbbel and sitting and standing on a bench

you can also do lunges.

Not mandatory at all. I haven't done squats or deadlifts in 10 years due to disc issues

Change gyms or, as you suggest, set one up

Bros yes it is mandatory

 

[ROIDDERS]

if you want to build your legs to the maximum you definitely want to do them

 

[chesty]

there are other things that you can do even using machines are better than nothing

 

[Ulter]

if you like to slam and drop weights then just get a mat and some equipment at home

I use my garage gym to do my heavy lifting so no one bothers me
