Actually I squat at home, with something like this(bench flat, removed leg extension/curl attachment):

I raise the supports to about shoulder level, then squat under it and walk backwards with the bench between my legs and squat in open space, if i can't squat it up once I'm in the bottom position, i die(drop the bar and make big marks on wooden floor).

I would have to get to a gym to do this think.
I squat ATG(can't get any lower at the bottom), so to use safety bars i would have to shorten the ROM right?
