How do I do squats and bench presses?

[sarbear92]

my dad has a lot of workout equipment here at home, so i don't need to spend the money to go to a gym.
i want to up my weights for my squats and bench..but i don't have any machine/power rack to help me with this.

i've been using weight that i can get up no problem...but if i want to add some more, it's difficult to get the bar up to my shoulder because i have nothing to rest it on initially.

sorry if i made no sense.. but what are some things i can do to help me out?

(i am going to buy a power rack/cage eventually...it's just not too good for my wallet at the moment)

You should never try lifting the bar onto your shoulders as a beginner. Try taking free weights and doing squats with one in each hand instead of the bar

You are much better youtubing these excercise so you can watch them be performed correctly. I recommend a channel run by a guy called Omar Isuf. Very detailed and informative.

Its best to look them up and get a visual of the exercise

If i describe them I feel it is not the most beneficial

If you're squatting make sure you get your technique right first. I've heard of big injuries from doing it. But it's worth doing it for the results.

Squat, Take it low till till it focus on your ass

Bench, lift em focusing pecs. Not arms
