Build one. Buy some raw steel and meld your own rack, that's what I did.

kek same. seems autistic in hindsight but i used the fuck out of that thing for years. literally wouldn't start lifting until it was built.

So how do you do your exercises then?
buy one or just use the smith machine, it doesn't really matter if your goal is aesthetics

Never welded anything, I have no equip for that atm...
I'm planning making my home gym in a year or so, unfortunately gym equipment is crazy expensive here in Brazil

Planet fitness has Smith machines and leg press machines.

It really is a great thing, and it's not even that hard or expensive. I spent around 150€ for the steel and it took me about a month, because I had to build it after work. Doesn't need to be fancy, it just has to work. look up some beginners welding stuff and you'll be able to make all kinds of cool shit.
