Hex-bar Deadlifts (if you aren't maxing out, the last rep can also be a farmer's carry) Parallel grip Chinups (with weight vest on some days, just bodyweight on others) db Shoulder Press, or db Incline Press, or Standing Plyo-Overhead Press (~Jerk)
I’d ignore the titular premise as silly and ask how many days a week and how much time per session would you be comfortable spending at the gym and towards what goal.
Leg Press machine is trash for athletic development...
Front Squat
Trap Bar Deadlift
Bulgarian Split Squat

No it’s not trash, and yields a lot of the lower body strengthening benefits of free weight squats but just without the benefits of core stabilization.

It's not just core stabilization it's everything stabilization. Leg press is also a higher injury risk for your back. The only reason to choose leg press over squats is if your shoulder can't handle heavy weights.
