I've been getting a ton of questions about my previous SML-1 Rogue 70 Monster Lite Squat Stand Review video and I thought I'd answer them in this companion video.
As I said in the last video, Rogue Fitness has been one of the top gym-equipment companies for a while now. They just produce quality products. I've spent thousands with their company and have not had a single complaint yet on the quality of the products.
The SML-1 Rogue 70 Monster Lite Squat Stand is no exception. It's built well. It's sturdy. It has a 1000 pound weight capacity. It can handle anything you throw at it and it's great for a small garage gym like I have. I do Overhead Press, squats and the bench press all with this small squat stand. It's great.
I highly recommend picking up the spotter arms if you plan on going heavy (which you should) and near your 1RM. The SAML-24 monster lite safety spotter arms have saved my life multiple times. It is an extra charge, but it's definitely worth it.
If you have weights, a barbell, and a bench, you really don't need anything else to complete your home gym except maybe a pull-up bar.
Make sure to save shipping costs during their Matte Black November sale going on right now in November 2019.

Is the stand deep enough to position a bench for seated shoulder/overhead presses?

@ultimaetsolder Жыл бұрын

People buy this if they have a low ceiling height. If your ceilings are 93" plus then obviously buy a full power rack.

You can actually attach the landmine attachment to that squat rack, you can also upgrade the jcups to the sandwich version

Are the safety spotter arms adjustable? I'm guessing yes but I want to make sure. Thank you in advance.

@ChrisPinedo 3 жыл бұрын

Yes they are

@darrylbradfordjr 3 жыл бұрын

also could you install the SHORT PLATE STORAGE POSTS - MONSTER LITE vertically on the bottom rear holes of the rack? so instead of them sticking out horizontally on the uprights, they could serve as storage and weigh down the rack simultaneously???

@ChrisPinedo 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Darryl, So as I said in the video, it's probably "do-able" but since Rogue specifically says not to, I wouldn't risk it. I'm sure its possible.

Is it easy to move around i.e. do squats or push press outside ?

@ChrisPinedo 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I wouldn't say it's "easy" to manuever around but it can be done. So long as it isn't bolted to the ground :D

@jttenorio2541 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Chris, I was just wondering whenever you disassemble and reassemble your stand, is there any damage to the areas in the metal around the holes where nuts and bolts go? I’m asking because I have an SML-2 that I’d be moving to another location. Would constant disassembly (retightening of screws and nuts) have any negative impact on the integrity of the rack itself?

@ChrisPinedo 3 жыл бұрын

Hey JT, I don't think so. I've diassembled and reassembled twice and there were no problems. Although, that was when the rack was brand new so I can't say for 100%. Unless you're doing it a LOT, I don't think there would be a problem, but definitely contact Rogue if you really want to make sure :D

@koyotekev5082 3 жыл бұрын

is the sml 2 similar height with the 1? I would like a pull-up bar but I got a low ceiling

@ChrisPinedo 3 жыл бұрын

It is not unfortunately. It's 90 inches compared to the SML-1 which is 70 inches.

I already have another pullup bar but I wonder if adding a cross member across the top would improve rigidity even more. I don't see how that would make it unsafe as long as you weren't actually hanging on it right?

@ChrisPinedo 4 жыл бұрын

Hey there, I’m sure you could add a crossmember to add stability. It wouldn’t hurt, but I don’t recommend anything that Rogue doesn’t recommend. Like you said, don’t hang on it 👍🏽

@priceandbar10 3 жыл бұрын

i just chatted with the rogue rep and he said you can put their socket pull up bar on it. only issue is it will be super low (70 inches"

@phillipkulas2302 3 жыл бұрын

Lucefied , I bought a 5/8” x 6 ft. steel threaded rod at Home Depot along with four washers and four 5/8” nuts and attached the threaded rod to the towers and snugged the nuts tight on both the inside and outside of the towers. I made sure that the towers were plum and adjusted the nuts as needed. I hacksawed the excess threaded rod off the one end of the threaded rod. The threaded rod ended up being 51” long after removing excess length. There’s no flexing of the towers. Whenever I’ve moved the squat stand I removed the safety spotter arms and then overhead pressed the threaded rod and walked the entire squat rack to wherever I wanted it to be positioned. It’s a very inexpensive way to strengthen the rigidity of the squat rack if you so desire.

@LucefieD 3 жыл бұрын

@@phillipkulas2302 thanks for the tip man, my dad and I were discussing welding up something to brace the towers.

@bwaaahsharkie5260 3 жыл бұрын

Rogue sells a Rogue Monster Lite Socket Pull-Up Bar. Am I able to purchase that and put it on the SML-1 70"? That way I could put plate holders on the Squat Stand itself as there would be a pull-up bar to help support it?

@ChrisPinedo 3 жыл бұрын

Technically, you could, but they don't recommend it without the HR conversion kit. Making a video on it soon.

@darrylbradfordjr 3 жыл бұрын

so would it be dangerous if you put the j cups at its highest setting and did pullups utilizing a barbell with your knees bent???

I don't think so however, I'm not going to try it.

Slim. Very slim, unless you're working over the weight capacity or near it.

Yes you can, whether it be from amazon or Rogue, although, you may have to contact Rogue on which exact one fits. I think their newest one is only for the monster racks, not monster lite, so double check with them :D

It is! It can also work with other amazon landmine attachments that go under a rack or within the plates themselves.

@user-ui7jw8ow4f 2 жыл бұрын

Incline bench can be prevented by a squat stand not being deep enough and a bench being too long to fit and allow incline. So it can be prevented by a squat stand. Scoffing at viewers willing to ask you for advice seems like a great way to build viewership though so you do you.
