I don't have any money, nor is my father willing to buy me a squat rack. But maybe, if I can make something that'll be cheap, my father will lend me the money. So any tips?

I asked this previously. Just save the money and buy one. I got a squat stand for about 130-140 dollars. It scares me sometimes, but it hasent broke yet, so that's a plus.

Yarrr, I hope to get a job this summer. It's annoying, cause right now all I can do is clean and jerk the bar over my head. The weight is hardly enough to build good strength. On top of this I've run out of weights for my deadlifting. Fudge stickles!

Do bulgarian squats, hacks squats, step ups(I think thats the name), pistol squats, amongst other exercises until you get the money.

I guess if you were desperate for a squat rack, you could put two Dressers next to each other and put it on that, but somehow I don't think it would work that great.

Build two jerk boxes for the rack and then get some sawhorses as safeties.
