Will this work...?

[MrMonster]

At the moment in my home gym I have a bench; below. Around 80kg worth of weights, barbell weighing 5.2kg and two dumbell bars.

I was just wondering that with this bench (below) can I turn that maybe into a squat stand? I really need some sort of squat rack but at the moment I cant afford a proper one, and the squat rack is the only thing stopping me from quitting the gym and doing my work at home.

Thanks

No. Absolutely not. I understand your predicament,but there is no way to squat with any bench like that,modified or not, and be able to do it safely.

Stick to the gym for your squats until you can get the proper set up

Ok, thanks. I was going to throw some heavy duty brackets against my fence in the garden and just fall back onto them but the distance is 7 feet and my bar is onyl 6 feet. Just a matter of getting squat stands then
