I watch everything you post, because were name twinsies.

Rogue, please develop a cable system that has the functionality of low and high cables plus plate loaded. This is why I like Rep Fitness’s cable system.

Hey bro. Just wanted to tell you that you inspire me everyday. Thank u for all your amazing videos, tips and I just love u bro. Thank u fr❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm saving up for an actual lat pull down. Good video!

Buy a Rhino already...

Good Content! Frequent watcher, just subscribed!

I got a Body-Solid lat machine (plate loaded) four years ago for about $360.00. I can do lat pulldowns. seated rows, triceps, biceps, forearms, and shoulders. I use it every day and had no problems with the cables or movement of the plates up and down. They're going for about $550 today.

Great content. Thanks for sharing.

Really like the concept. I am going to try to make something like that for my rack (x3 flat foot with 10” ext). Instead of the slinger I am going to try different pulley arrangements. Thanks for the idea!!!! WHOOOOO

Niceee thanks bro for the video💪🏻💪🏻

Great job Brandon. You should feel proud. You did a better job at R&D than Rouge did. If Rouge ever comes out with a drop in Lat Pulldown/Low pulley it better be amazing, considering the long wait.

Perfect video

It's always mind boggling to me that an integrated lat pulldown isnt something that is offered for major players in the US. Here in Europe, ATX has very high quality integrated lat pulldowns for the lower tier racks all the way up to weight Stacks for the high end racks

Great job on your channel and content. I am just about ready to pull the trigger and order up an RM-6 from Rogue. I do not have the space to accommodate a dedicated lat machine, so rack mounted is my only option. I spoke to Rogue last week and they said that they are about a month away from releasing the stack loaded slinger shown on their site. My idea was do something similar to what you did with the 24” extension bottom cross member with a few extra steps. Add a 43” bottom member at the bottom/rear of the rack and install the weight stack on top of that, so it ends up parallel to the rear of the rack. Then you would need to add the rear/single pulley that they are showing on the RM-6 on top of the 24” top member you added, except mount it 180 degrees so that the pulley hangs backward over the top of the stack. Essentially you would end up with the two pulley assemblies mounted back to back on the top 24” member. I hope Rogue flushes out the design and offers something like this as a standard option. The only other thing they need to do is offer a leg pad/attachment to hold you down. This would be a perfect accessory for them to offer for use with the existing socket at the head of the AB-3 bench.

Looks awesome. I love my cable crossover and after having one I’ll probably keep a dedicated cable machine over a rack high low pulley for the rest of my life. Though if space is an issue I totally get having these.

MacGyver mostly had to just escape some box, he didn't need to create a business of escape kits. I appreciate your attempt that mostly does kind of work!

Hi Brandon. Love the content and this video is perfect for my own gym timing. I just put through an order for a RM-690 with a drop in rhino. My plan was to use a Monster shackle to a top gusset and connect a pulley to the shackle and connect a cable to the rhino. My two questions are.. 1. Is my idea with the pulley as opposed to the shackle instead of the slinger fine? 2. I got an extra top cross member so the front and middle will be options for the pulley. Which would you recommend I use? I plan to use a multi grip pull-up bar in the back for rhino loaded chin ups 😁. Thanks!

Workout equipmentception!’n

As part of your making attachments fit series it would be awesome if you could go over if the Rep lat pulldown can be modified to work on your Rogue rack :D

Now I need a basement* to put all of my cramped equipment.

Someone on Facebook used chains to stop the swing on plates when they did a lat pulldown setup similar to what you did with the slinger. Apparently, if the chain is touching the ground, it stops the swing. Of course, that then becomes accomodating resistance, which not everyone wants.

The drop in Rhino is best used with the 30" depth rack. The front posts has extra clearance to allow squats outside the rack without bumping your shins into the platform. The 24" beam can be centered if you rotate the 43" upper crossmembers 90 degrees and place them inside your 30" crossmembers.

I considered this at one point but doing it sideways on the top cross member and using the bench prop as another attachment point. Ended up taking your advice that it's to much money to have to adapt the thing to be of any use. For now I'll stick to knock offs using home depot pulley and cable.

You can make a good cable setup and a loading pin (1" pipe, flange, and eyelet) with paracord, 2 pulleys, and some carabiners, webbing, and a resistance band for like 20 bucks.

If you use a top crossmember instead of a bottom crossmember, you can center the body of the crossmember along the lateral direction. Although that is probably more relevant if you're using a Rhino with the Slinger, so you can align the Slinger above the Rhino platform where the Rhino cable emerges.

I also have the RM6, which I got during the Covid shutdown. I'm a little limited in room, so I can't have a separate pulldown machine. Honestly, with the perplexing limited amount of choices, the Spud Inc. Pulley System (with chains), is probably the best bet. It's ridiculous that Rogue hasn't addressed this already.

Love your vids Brandon. Always helpful. Wondering if running a slinger off the rear posts of an RM4 off to one of the sides might work well if using a rear stabilizer and a standard top crossmember instead of the logo one.

No crossmember or slinger needed. Just attach a pulley to each crossmember with I bolts/nuts/washers/D rings and a length of cable and you're all set. Cost maybe $30. Adjustability is provided by a length of chain at one end about 18" long. This way you can do exercises seated or standing.

Nice video! Side note:You should close the isolation in the roof. It is not safe to breath in those particles from the isolation😄

If you want more slack on the cable just unscrew the cylindrical clamp then force it down using the stopper ball that's what I did. once it gets unstuck so to speak it'll slide right down.

I put my spotter arm on the top of my sml2 and wrap a spud inc pulley thats hooked up to the end of my titan lever arm. Kinda frankensteined a plated loaded high pulley system that doesnt swing into your rack like the spud inc does

Always fun to watch your content man. You know what I'd like to see? The 26er wagon wheels on a loadable dumbbell handle - the most ridiculous way to curl. Can you make that happen?

Undecided... a chunk of me thinks people should commit a lot more resources to achieving pull-ups for reps if they don’t have access to a lat pulldown machine.

A monster slinger came up in marketplace for dirt cheap in January but I had 2 concern: 1. 90” height... sounds like that was a good concern and 2. What I’d need to buy to emulate the lat tower seat with knee bar (or the thing that holds you down)... Nice video Brandon. 💪🏼

Dear Rogue, please finally release the Monster Weight stack for the slinger. Sincerely, Everyone

Like gym legos haha

im thinking of drilling out the holes on the cross bars so i can center the slinger in the middle of the rack. it shouldnt slide left to right with oblong holes. I have the rhino on order along with slinger and other necessary components to make it work. In still have to engineer a way to keep the monster bench prop into the rhino. I already have a full functional trainer but i need a 1 to 1 ratio for lat pulldowns and low rows and not enough space to add a dedicated lat machine for it. I think this gives me the most versatility in the small amount of space. wish me luck. expensive as hell though to do this but i also get a rhino, a lat pull down and a low pull for the price of a good lat machine. so i could argue its a good price.

Hey Brandon, what is the advantage of the slinger vs attaching a $20 pulley to a monster shackle like coop had on a DIY video?

Go to REI and buy a climbing rope in place of cable and chain thats what we used at our gym.

I get all the diy and the workarounds to get this type of setup with Rogue if you are really tight on space, but it's unbelievable that they don't have a better option. You can get an entire plate-loaded machine for the cost of the slinger alone...

Never realized you couldn't mount the crossmember perfectly down the middle. Looks like maybe you could using a top crossmember instead of a bottom one, but it would look kinda funny mounted sideways like that lol.

Hey Brandon, what do you think of the new Monster Cave by Rogue?

Hey Brandon, what would you recommend for a ML squat stand ? I have a little budget home gym, the only 2 things I’m missing are dumbbells and a lat pull down. Any recommendations on how to configure something for my sml-2

Are those the Bells of Steel machined plates? I just grabbed their SSB and it's a nice bar. Actually has machined sleeves and a couple grip options.

Hi Brandon, I have this set up (slinger+middle crossmember) coming in soon and I was wondering, did you move the nameplate to the rear because of style? Or does it get in the way of the slinger? I saw that on the rogue website, they keep it in the middle for RM-6 racks.

Are you getting spotter arms and trolley 50 cal in the future?

Do you feel like the slinger does not stick out far enough to get a good lat pull feeling?. Most vids I see it’s almost like a row because the slinger is so short length wise

Is it possible to use Rep crossmembers with rogue monster uprights?

I don't understand why in America a lot of the racks don't offer good lat-pulldown cable attachments. In Europe we have so many choices, especially if you check out the likes of ATX with their stack weight attachement

Should have gotten the PR 5000 with the low/ lat attachment . Done ✅

Dude it is super easy to adjust that cable length. The pieces on either end are just held on by removable screws. Take the end off, cut the cable, screw it back on. Wouldn't take 5 minutes. For the weight plates and loading pin you can just do what you were doing at 2:55 in the video. Undo those screws, slide the stopper further down the cable and the back end would get longer to where you likely wouldn't even need the chain to reach the loading pin.

Hi Brandon! How did you go about converting your RM-3 to a RM-6? Unless I missed it somewhere, I didn't see a RM-6 Conversion Kit on Rogue's site.

What do you think of rogues new slinger attachment for the bottom of the rack?

Dang I think I'll just stick with my 300$ cb-12 lat pull down from amazon. I kinda want the rep rack for its built in lat pull down just to cut down on the clutter in my gym but I don't know if its worth it.

Brandon what is the height of your ceiling? Is your rack bolted to the ground? Thanks in advance.

Is it just me, or could you do something very similar with 1 or 2 pulleys for like 1/10 the price?

I wish rogue would release the weight stack version for monster racks. Why they released it for smaller racks first is really annoying. Especially since they did it over a year ago. Come on rogue!!!!!!!!!

My plan is to do something similar with the surplus strength ultimate lat attachment

What you think of the surplus pulley system?

Will the titan lat pull down work with a rogue power rack?

All about that algorithm

do you know how a rhino drop-in is connected? does it interfer with your pro bench if you get it?

Surplus strength cable attachments

Do you know of any company that offers a power rack so configured that one person can do squats inside of the rack, while a second person does seated lat pulldowns on the outside of the rack, simultaneously?

Industrious.....how much did that ocd bother you on this install 😂

What about the rep lat pulldown review?

Go to a full kneel position?

Why, why WHY Rogue doesn't offer a lat pulldown station that fits inside the rack such as Rep or Titan do? Can someone please bring me an answer? It's juste so unusual that a market leader doesn't offer a thing that all its competitors offer. Thanks you and happy lifting 💪

So you’re telling me to buy a hip thruster pad from rogue so I can also work on my gluteus maximizes 😎 to get dump truck like yourself

its crazy that rogue does not include a lat pull down machine you can attach to a rack like powertech and rep fitnes

Has anyone you know of tried fitting the REP pulldown onto a Rogue Monster rack?

Be careful around that water meter. It could be disastrous 💦

@5:31 the Slinger is now 370$ lol you got a deal lol

Why not just use the Rep lat pull down attachment?

A little sad that rogue doesn't offer a low and high row for their racks but just about all their competitors do. There application is a bit of a dressed up spud inc inspired design and falls very short of being practical.

Bigger than last time

Seriously Rogue? I got something similar from amazon under 20 bucks for my rack. Rep fitness/Titan fitness already have their lat pulldown system while Rogue still behind..

non central cross member - they need to fix the design, at least replace / offer a cross member that allows making it symmetric, so that you can sit on your centrally located bench. I think it would drive me crazy, and I would get rid of the whole system all together

Or you can watch Coop show you how to make a Lat Pull for around $30 bucks. Or buy Spud Inc's EconoPully for around $80

1:05 There's 8 holes on the left and ONLY 7 on the right...the horror!

Can anybody comment on the quality of Rogue monster rack weld quality. I just ordered a RM-3 hoping it will meet my expectations for quality?

Still don't see why the spud inc system for the amount of time youd spend doing lat pulldowns isnt the better option. Takes up zero rack space

1:00 - Ahhhh, literally unusable now. Come on Rogue, get your shit together.

The fact Rogue doesn’t have an integrated option like Rep’s lat pull down or their new Ares system is an embarrassment. I’m a Rogue fanboy and love their bring back American manufacturing ethos, but this glaring lack of functionality will probably have me going Rep on my new rack.

I suspect you made this video to simply rep more 35’s

There was a german dude when I was exiting the parkinglot to go get my keys. He asked me if I was german. I said american. He then proceeded to push mercedes keys into my hand. I asked: gift? He said: No valet.

Brandon, you spend all this money on equipment but nothing between you and breathing in that fiberglass. Drywall is your friend bro.

Archon Fitness makes a very inexpensive plate loaded lat pulldown www.fitarchon.com/product/wall-mount-dual-cable-station/ I have no idea if they're any good. I bought the multi-grip bar and saw this.

When is your birthday? Coop will gift you a rhino cause he’s that kinda guy.

All that and no low row.

first

You could just do pullups.....

Damn this thing is so overpriced. It looks like it’s worth $200 max.
