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.

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.

@Porkys.Powerhouse Ай бұрын

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!

@Porkys.Powerhouse Ай бұрын

@@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?!

@JAY-rahd_GI-benz Ай бұрын

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

@Porkys.Powerhouse Ай бұрын

@@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.

Sir, I've been buying these Signature Fitness Weight Plates since the Chinese Global Pandemic of 2020 - I'm sure you remember . . . I needed/wanted a weight plate to MATCH the size of my vintage YORK Milled Weight Plates. They do match the Diameter/Width and Depth perfectly, although I have only bought the 2 1/2 LB, 5LB and 10LB weight plates, but I'm sure the 45LB'ers are the same size as well. *Note about the quality: Early Covid I bought 4/10LB weight plates and the quality was far better than what you and I get today from Signature Fitness. Each 10LB'er was perfect in appearance with zero flaws to the weight plate itself and the lettering and white paint was perfect as well. The Black color is slightly less black and ever so slightly grey/black if you could imagine that - but still considered black if you didn't have the newer plate color to compare them to. The Signature Fitness Weight Plates we Buy now: 5/28/24 are not as good as the Covid era weight plates. But for me these weight plates work as weight plates and are not broken as long as they continue to have weight to them ;) and $1.00 per pound can't be beat anywhere.

@Porkys.Powerhouse Ай бұрын

I just honestly reviewed what I received so I’ll have to take your word that plates 4 years ago were better quality. However I will say, and you seem to agree, that for less than a $1/lb it’s a great deal! They lasted you four, and I hope many more!!

@ProflexFitness Ай бұрын

@@Porkys.Powerhouse Oh yea, I'll continue to buy these Signature weight plates at $1.00 per pound.

The 1000lb Club challenge adds up Bench, Squat, and Deadlift for a cumulative total of 1000lbs. I thought that was common knowledge LOL I KNOW that I’ll NEVER get a 1000lb bench hahaha but I would be very pleased with like a 6RM of 315!!

@CRCfail Ай бұрын

Jeez o pete's I spent probably 95% less than you did and have double the weights. They're mismatched, ugly, rusty but guaranteed they weigh the same 😄

@Porkys.Powerhouse Ай бұрын

You spent $50 on 1040lbs of weight?! That’s amazing man!! I wish I couldve saved that much! I did try to save as much as possible by only buying used but I probably wouldn’t do anything differently. A Metroflex/Muscle Beach vibe was just not what I wanted. This, personally, makes me happy walking into my gym and ready to put in work! As long as it does the same for you and for a much cheaper price that’s she thit right there!!

Damn they're lighter than 45lbs but close enough. I do Static Holds with thick rubber coated plates - so I've been wondering since last month how many Standard 45lb plates could fit on each side on a normal barbell and your vid gave me the answer. LOL Liked and subbed. Thanks for the video, boss.

@TheYrthenarc Ай бұрын

Hm, looks like they just used their 20kg plate mold and only changed the text on it...

@Porkys.Powerhouse Ай бұрын

They advertised it as 20.4kg on the plate itself so it’s still inaccurate, bc it’s closer to 19.5kg. But still a tolerance of +/- 5% isn’t horrible.

@Murdoch_Industries Ай бұрын

i have that scale and it sorta spits out the same number if it thinks you are weighing the same thing twice without recalibrating it in between

@Porkys.Powerhouse Ай бұрын

@Murdoch_Industries I let the scale turn off then turned it back on in between each weight, but you could be right. I’ll weigh’em again tomorrow on a different scale and edit this with my findings. 👍🏼 Edit: On a different scale they were all the same. So even though they aren’t exactly 45lbs, at least they’re mostly consistent!

@Rack979 Ай бұрын

Yes, I have a scale like this, too. Basically, weigh anything else in between things that are close in weight like a bunch of 45 pound plates (a 25, yourself, a leg was my favorite). I eventually got a legal-for-trade scale where I don't have to do all this silliness!

You’re my first random commenter! I really appreciate it. Yea those are great bodyweight exercises, but the barrier of entry is difficult for most. Some don’t even want to try (losers… me). Those that can do those would be in a healthier state for sure though lol
