No barbell! Other options?

[Optimalisation]

Jetts fitness doesn't have a squat rack or even a barbell for deads...

There is a smith machine and one of those 'dead lift machines' (like wheel barrow handles that you can stack with weights) and a good range of dumbells.

Can you reasonably substitute a squat/dead/bench strength programme using dumbells and the machines? Dumbell deads?

best option join a proper gym jetts is for females and men that are not interested in gaining muscle or strength

[Louey]

Squat and deadlift with the heaviest dumbells about all you can do at that place

worth looking at other gyms, i hardout regret not squatting and deadlifting from day 1, most worthwhile movements imo so better off finding somewhere else.
