I haven't had to train in my garage for over 3 years now. I'll have to invest some time in reclaiming my space there.
I have an IronMind Vulcan squat rack, which is modular so I can also use it for chins. I also have a Rogue utility flat bench.
My son and I built a very basic platform of 1/2" horse stall mat on top of one layer of 3/4" plywood, with 1/2" plywood in the center. My spotting racks are 2 metal saw horses, with limited adjustability.
I have an off brand Olympic bar, 2 pairs of iron 45s, and iron change plates down to microplates. I also have bumper plates (45s, 15s, 10s).
So, I have what I need to continue doing the basic barbell lifts. But since I don't have a perfect spotting system, or a legit platform, my loads will be lighter. Let's hope this stay at home order won't last for more than a couple of weeks.
I've been spoiled by the good bars at the gym. The sleeves on the one in my garage, that I haven't used in 3 years, still "rotate", but they don't "spin". It's not just semantics.

BP: 45x5x2, 95x3, 135x2, 161x5x2. 161 was an offset from the 176 I would have tried if the gym wasn't closed, since the sleeves on my bar at home just. Don't. Spin.
Strict P: 45x5, 60x3, 75x2, 90x1, 95x5x3. Again with the offset.

Oh dear, bad bar...
That does suck. And you're right, we take for granted good gym equipment.
This was my third workout in on quarantine training in my garage, but it was the first one I felt a comfortable rhythm, if that makes sense. I suppose it's no different than if I had switched from one gym to another, and getting used to the latter.
