How far could you get working out from home, safely, with only

you can buy a squat rack thats easy to hide away and doesnt cost much. The same with a bench which can be used with the squat rack for bench press.

And why cant you do squats with a squat rack?

with a squat rack you can set it at the highest setting, add the bar too it and do pull ups and chin ups too.

With a barbell, weight, squat rack and a bench you can do pretty much everything.

No safety bars on a squat rack.

oh, you mean a squat stand.

If you have a gym sub, and the racks are so taxed that you're building a home gym, you need to talk to management about buying another rack. Seriously. I'd do that before even considering a home gym.

Power racks are cheaper than you think. Check craigslist or fitness outlets. I see them go for $150-250 all the time on CL.

If you are so poor you can't afford one, just do light weight squats while you save money, or build a squat rack. Or go suck dick for the money.

Get 2x 45 lb bumper plates for the deadlifts to protect the floor and give you the right bar height.

Not everyone is American. A power rack would cost me the equivalent of at least $1000, and hard (or impossible) to find one used here.

Barbell with free weights is the cheapest home start for beginners - build your own squat rack if you stick with it. Do pull ups at the park to get you exercising out of the house.

I would highly advise against buying a cheap squat rack

Just save up for a decent power rack, it will save you money in the long run over a gym sub.

As far as you're willing to push yourself.
