If you don't have horizontal bars in the rack or the cage, do NOT dump the weight forward. You can literally kill yourself doing that. Let it roll off your back. Yes, it might fuck up the ground, but it's better than having hundreds of pounds smash your neck and face into the ground. But the best thing to do is always make sure you have enough left in the tank to get each rep up if you are squatting without a cage and spotter.
