I've been thinking for ages about putting in a squat rack so I can do the stronglifts programme at home.

Space is an issue so I've looked at the half height squat racks like this one

I have got outside space but I'm not sure working outside on muscles in the cold even for such a short time is a good idea.

So any advice on space saving home gym set ups for squats and such is welcome.
I have ages to sort this out as my core has been demolished and I need to do a few months floor work building that up again first anyway.
 


Think your link might be broken? But get a stand that will function as both a squat rack and a bench rack.

Horse matting for deadlifts.

Sorted.

Agree with the point above about horse matting for deadlifts.

I bought this:

Squat And Dip Rack | Adjustable | Hardcastle Bodybuilding

The spotter bars mean you don't need a spotter and they are adjustable depending on your height. You can also drop the height of the uprights and it works for benching too - and the spotter bars kick in for that too. I'd really recommend it.

Hope this helps.
 
The classics are just that because they work. IMHO knee-tremblers, preferably round the back of the Tavern, or another pub/club, work the core and offer a good substitute for squats.
