If one owned a barbell and plates with something to squat in, a chinning bar and dipping bars, that is used repeatedly, one could biuld a big strong body.
I'd say that the dip, with it's longer ROM compared to the chinup seems to be the ticket.
But then you have the pullover, I just don't know.
I'm going with chins/pullups. It is the only exercise that if I do 3-4 sets of to failure that I feel equally fatigued as had I done the same for squats. I find the chins, mainly palms out, really hammer the upper body including the core.

If you look at how far the upper arm moves around the shoulder, I think you are pretty spot on Guzzla.
300mm for dipping
600mm fo chinning.
700mm for machine pullover, but the kicker is that the resistance on a good machine is also going to be variable and rotational, so resistance will be consistent throughout, from full extension to full contraction, done properly it hurts like hell.
Especially when done together, using the pullover as a Pre-fatigue exercise.
Pullup/Chinup and it's variations. Some obviously harder than the standards like Sternum/Gironda Pullups or L sits which brings some lower body into play.
Although I haven't tried machine pullovers on an original Nautilus. They'd be fun though.
What do you mean? You start with your shoulders and elbows locked out at the top (hips and knees in the squat) then bend at the joints until your shoulders go under your elbows (hips lower than knees in squat) then come back up again. Seems pretty similar to a squat in my head lol
