Akonza Adjustable Squat Stands for bench and squat

Fitness Reality 2000 Super Max XL High Capacity Weight Bench with Detachable Leg Lock-Down (this FID bench folds up flat for storage)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B3Q9F22/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_lCAKBbS38T2VX
Both of these items can be put in a closet and work well. You can also buy some power block u90s and ironmaster 120 Dumbbells with the kettle bell handle from ironmaster and you have an entire gym that can be put away in a closet. Add a folding walker for dips and a door way pull up bar with rings and you can start charging people to use your studio.
Here are links to my posts that have all of the above items.

Well, you can build your own I guess?
But it doesn't cost $500+ for a decent one. How much are you squatting?
Assuming you're in the U.S. (not sure about elsewhere)...
You could get this cage, http://www.amazon.com/Powerline-PPR200X-PowerLine-Power-Rack/dp/B000VLRVSC
I'm guessing you want something that will allow you to fail without smashing yourself into the ground. So that cage is a good option. Alternatively http://www.amazon.com/Champion-Barbell-Step-Squat-Equipment/dp/B0000BYSM8 could be a good option.
They aren't cheap but they aren't $500+ either.
Also, craigslist. Might luck out.
I also have the 1100, and wanted additional horns. They're not in stock until mid August, so I ordered these off of amazon.
Technically they work, but they don't seem perfectly straight or aren't consistent as sometimes it takes some work to get my bumpers off. They definitely don't slide nearly as well as the REP ones that I originally got with my rack.
I have this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3RP2PD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_g744AbGWMN6HE
I hang resistance bands, weight belts, dip belt, and jump rope from it.

Here's a similar one that I own. It's awesome.
I'm not sure what would be too expensive, but I bought this metal rack with wheels to I can store my nicer plates at the gym I train at and be able to move them around easily. The slots are wide enough to hold slightly thicker plates also, and it seems pretty well built and easy to move around. I keep all of my change plates on a separate sleeve since the rack doesn't have space built in for them.
In terms of a cheaper option for storing plates, I've seen a few different things done.
My gym has most of their bumpers and change plates built like the rack in the background of this photo. Pretty simple design framed with 2x6s all around (I think Catalyst has plans for them somewhere), and the width of each slot is wide enough to fit both bumpers of each weight within it.
The other solution that I like a bit more is the bench version, where the weight rack is essentially a bench you can sit on with space for the plates to be stored beneath the seat.
I need to get a new gym. My gym has something like this, which I have to back completely out of to do squats. So if I fail I guess I need to drop the barbell to the floor, or take a few waddles forward and drop in on the bars.
I'm more scared of failing bench press, though. I've been practicing the roll of shame.
This one!!!

It's this one: Titan Fitness Olympic Barbell 5 Bar Holder Vertical Storage Display Rack 12"x12" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DPYPYCG
I didn't bolt it down, but it has holes pre drilled if you wanted to.

That will definitely work as a Bench Press + Squat rack.
Here's a similar one marketed to your purpose.
Nothing is a "waste". It is good to do squat variations.
Do barbell until you're unable to safely clean the bar raise it to your back. Like others mentioned doing squats with the bar up front are great alternatives after. When that becomes too challenging because you're unable to clean the bar... Then do single leg variations with dumb bells, or goblet squats.
Formally speak to your condo/apartment management for a squat rack. They usually have some sort of annual budget for the fitness room.
If you really really love back squats and don't want to give them up and your building won't buy one, look into bringing your own rack to the gym.

I ended buying a few things because my work schedule doesn't allow me to go to a gym. I wake up at 3:30 am so I can work out. Luckily I have a detached garage so that's where I work out.
Bought this about it the same price from Dick's. I read the reviews that they bar may bend as you get closer to 300 lbs. I have only put 255lbs on it to test DL max.

I bought this rack for the bench and squat double features. Works great so far no issues. Will be wobbly if you are throwing the weight around but otherwise no issues.

This works as a bench. Nothing fancy.

So total cost is $400 all together. Not bad for a home gym. Simple and just what I need. I know in the future I will beat more weights and a new bar but at least this works for now.

Change the focus to the eccentric movement. It's often the most neglected portion of a lift.
Thanks for the review. I been eyeing this for the soul purpose of basic compound lifts. Im not looking to do any power lifting or cross fit. So this has it all for me. I probably wont go any heavier than 300lbs for any my lifts if and when I can build up the strengths then.
Does the rack wobble if you do pull ups?
I also been looking at this cause it has a land mind attachment o this.
