Before I go out and buy a squat cage (not even sure if I have room to put one), is there any way to do squats without a squat rack? Since legs need heavier weight, it seems it would be tough to lift the bar and weight off the ground, over the head, and behind the neck.

I've considered possibly doing dumbbell squats, holding the weights at the side, but it seems this weight would drag across the sides of your legs as you did them (mainly with heavy weight). You'd also need to be standing on a platform to go full ATG so they wouldn't hit the floor.

Any other ideas? I really don't want to join a gym and won't be doing anything but the basics anyway.
