Love to see it! Crazy build, thought out, loads of storage! The Supercar of racks. But what would you do for the 'honda civic' of rack/functional trainers. Would love to see a small space high quality custom rack like this. Maybe 16" 4 post with wall mounted to save on that 6th post but still provide stability over floor supported half racks, having a lat pull/functional trainer attachment would be key, Would you go with stacks vs plate loaded. Maybe safety arms for space saving when not needed vs having a full in rack safety. Would be interesting to see what you would come up with!

I’ve just started out my garage gym pursuit and bought a bells of steel power rack, I feel trapped with the limitations of a 2.3x2.3 rack with 5/8 holes after witnessing this video and now want a more open platform like this! The UK is so far behind the US and we have to import rogue from Europe which sucks as the second hand market is next to non-existent. Maybe it’s best I don’t as I’ll get divorced.

I made the original coop squat with slinger and rogue crown pull up bar on the front. Love it

@TheCarterHomeGym 8 күн бұрын

Sweet! I made a similar style rack and it's funny, I've used a lot of the same attachments (adjustable pullup handles so I could also mount the UPS, bench prop, etc). I removed the rhino handles and placed the bench prop crossmember in their place so I can use the Mutant Metals handles for weighted dips. I didn't think to place the rhino/jammer handles overhead for weighted pullups though, I will try that out. Some other attachments that are useful with the rhino rack: hip thrust bench, the new monster roller pad, squat wedges, front squat harness, Ironmaster super bench pro (it can slide under the platform), leg rollers, and utility bench.

@kitsu0099 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome setup Coop! I specifically emailed rogue about being able to attach the bench prop attachment to the rhino. They said that they were incompatible. It would’ve been the icing on the cake to go with the RM-6/monster bench. Instead I opted to go with the Froning RML-4/RML comp bench to save some coin. Hopefully one day they will come out with a RML rhino.

@cormacakehoe 2 жыл бұрын

Surplus Strength and some of their customers have said you can build a Rhino into a Monster Lite - probably the RML-690.

@eddiezuniga5382 2 жыл бұрын

I bought a stand alone Rhino and I was able to drop it right into a RML-690. The Rhino platform has 1” and 5/8” holes pre drilled, which means you can attach the platform to a ML rack without any modifications. Of course Rogue doesn’t tell you that, and even when I called them to ask if it would fit before buying they said they would not recommend it because they had not tested it on a ML rack. The only downside is that the unit only comes with 1” bolts so you’re gonna have to buy your own 5/8” hardware from Home Depot. I also called Rogue regarding their bench centering bracket and they told me they only sell it as a complete unit which comes with the cross member.

If I could only choose between 'closed environment' or 'open source', I'd go with the latter. Buying a single decent rack and being able to add almost anything from almost any company, is a huge benefit that to anyone but the truly professional outweighs the extra attention of detail and more tailormade fit. At the end of the day it's all gym equipment; meant to be rugged and rarely requiring 'closed system' like setups in order to function. Great work!
