An in-depth look at Rogue's SML-1 and SML-2 product line. I go over assembly, a light stress test while answering common questions I saw, a pros and cons list, AND potential UPGRADES!! You are NOT stuck with it, you could always upgrade to bigger better things dawg. And lastly a lil surprise on what I'm using it for.

Any questions about the SML-1 or SML-2 racks you felt went unanswered??

This video was incredibly helpful. This helped me decide to go with the SML-1! What bench should I go with? I was considering the Rogue Monster Utility 2.0.

The Rogue "Monster" utility bench 2.0 or just the Rogue "Flat" utility bench? I wouldn't recommend the monster bc at that point you're getting into the ballpark of adjustable benches which are way more versatile. At that point save up an extra $100 and get the REP AB-4100 hehe that's that GOOD good homie The flat however would be a good buy especially if you absolutely need "Rogue" on everything haha I have a Fringe Sport flat bench I bought for $50 used, rated for 880lbs and it works great for me! Also lightweight so even the lady can move it haha Rogue's, BOS's, and Fringe's are all comparable but Rogue's is $20 more than the other two at $195 before shipping n taxes.

@@Porkys.Powerhouse Alright, thank you! This was a very helpful video. I loved that you called it “The CHEAPEST quality rack NOBODY considers” because that is exactly how I felt about it. Everyone on KZfaq was skipping right to the SML-2 and I couldn’t understand why. The SML-1 seems like it is perfect!

@@JAY-rahd_GI-benz Fax fax man, the SML-1 is like a twin bed mattress, small, compact, and SLEPT ON! But it gets the job done!! But it’s true fr, nobody talks about it so I thought I may as well haha But really the only difference is that the SML-2 lets you have pull ups. You could always upgrade, if you find it lacking or selling it for no big loss. You buy new or finding it used?!

@@Porkys.Powerhouse I generally buy things new from the Rogue website. I really don’t even know where to look for used stuff.

@@JAY-rahd_GI-benz I usually go on FB marketplace. I was able to get the SML-1 for $200 on there, only drove 20 min to get it. But, I am in a bigger city so it might be easier for me than others.

I have an SML-1 that I bought in 2020, when my gym closed. In general, I love it. Today I pulled the trigger on the BoS Hydra lat pulldown attachment and 43” crossmember. It doesn’t look like I need to add a conversion kit or anything to the Rogue squat rack to make this work - I have weight plates - but I’m wondering if you have any experience/perspective. Thanks!

You the SML-1? Wouldn’t that be too short for the BOS PD? If you have what I’m imagining, you’d be putting all the strain of the weights on the guide rails, which is no bueno. I’d recommend getting the conversion (90” posts) to make it an HR-2 rack at the least for a crossmember to go under the PD horizontal at the top. A buddy has that exact set up with no issue, except that he has to be very mindful for reracking squats.

Very similar to what’s pictured here with no modifications: www.reddit.com/r/homegym/comments/15mzsiq/we_love_new_equipment_added_a_bos_hydra_lat/
