HOW TO SQUAT HEAVY WITHOUT POWERCAGE/RACK?
Hello /fit/izens, I have a home for my personal use, I have a bench, a bar and free weights, but I can’t do SQUATS, I will only live in here for less than a year so no point in buying a powercage/rack, so I want a diy solution, diy powercages seem expensive and need tools I don’t have, so I was wondering if any of you know of some approved ways to do squats securely without a powercage?

If you can't afford to spend $100 to $300 for on a power rack for a year you need to prioritize bulking up your income for now. You can always squat next year.

However if you are looking at getting one of these, I bought the "Fitness Reality 810XLT Super Max Power Cage". Just the rack, I got a bench separately for about $50 at Dicks. Kept it outside, for 3 years now, and its still standing and in solid condition.

Thanks but the thing is i live in the middle of nowhere in mexico, and the shipping would cost a fuckload of extra money

The thing is that, to get into a squat position, i need to elevate the bar to my shoulders, and i cant do that with the ammount of weight needed to do squats, i want to go for 10 reps, not 25
Bumper plates, squat ass to grass(get comfortable in the hole), and squat somewhere with a strong floor.

I agree, you're wasting your time going over 5.
Build a squat rack out of wood. Enough reinforcement with large lumber and it should be safe.
