Something I don't see mentioned enough is that home gyms can be dangerous.
But, most of the issues come from the same mistakes.
First, either bolt or heavily weigh down your squat racks. Rogue Fitness requires it in their assembly as a CYA, and concrete anchors are cheap and not difficult to install.
If you're not going to bolt it down, at least weigh it down with weight horns.
Second, always use safety spotters. In a commercial gym, you typically have somebody spotting you if you're getting near your max.
That's great to do in a home gym too if you have somebody, but if you don't, make sure you set your spotters in the right place so you can fail without getting hurt.
Then, lastly, would be to buy good equipment. I wouldn't cheap out on barbells. Racks are generally pretty sturdy, but I would check them often to make sure you're not going to have issues if you drop weight on the spotters.

Junior high girls from this morning.
Over 60% of our 8th graders box squat 135+ to a 16 inch box for 3.
Proud of this group’s consistency and hard work!!
Abdominal “vaccum” practice.
With prolonged breath-holds on full lungs, the autonomic system tries to force exhaling through repeated contractions of the transversus abdominis.
With more strength, the metabolic cost of this muscular effort decreases, saving precious oxygen.
@StrengthEwa Awesome Ewa! I usually do my last to reps with a healthy pause at the bottom when I do my front/back squats and pistols. I think there should be a mid of using/not using stretch reflex in ones training.
There are many patriots doing amazing things in and for this country. Stocking native cutthroats in high altitude lakes is definitely one of those amazing things.
