Self spotting the squat at home

[deadshot138]

just dropped 555lbs on my basement floor failing a squat. Couple dings in the floor but no damage to the equipment. How can I spot myself on the squat at home? Bumper plates? Crash mats? Tow straps?

Power rack.

Otherwise, before I had one, I used a pair of saw horses.

Plus one for the rack. Squat stands often have bars to dump on to.

How about not failing reps?
