Hey,

Is there an alternative compound exercise like squats I could do?

Ill be doing the weight training at home, won't have a squat rack.

What about doing squats with dumbells?
 
You could do squats with DBs... or just do deadlifts instead. I didn't have a squat rack for a while and I went with deads, it worked well enough.
 
Totentanz is right. You can't go wrong with deadlifts.

You could also clean the weight to your shoulders and front squat.
 
yes.... deadlifts are the natural substitute (though not as good) for squats..... Phoenix, one exercise that has given me the same kick as squat is the Weighted steps.... yes, the one you see girls doing at gyms.... but this one is with 60 lbs at least in each hand and the step should be actually 2 steps high or a bench.... do 15 reps starting with 1 leg and 15 starting with the other one, you will see what I am talking about.
 
I'm in the same situation as you. I did one legged squats with dumbells for a while. Lunges are good too. I eventually switched to hack squats.

I think I'll use saw horses (as posted in another thread) for a squat rack in my garage in the future.
 
try some of these
