SML-1 Rogue 70" Monster Lite Squat Stand

This is the first rack that has been in my gym, got it for $600 off of a package deal from FB Marketplace. It's Rogue, it's a rack, it does what it is supposed to do. As other reviews have said, if you run it stock make sure to weigh down the corners or put some weight horns low to keep it from bouncing around if you lift bigger weights on it. I plan to frankenstein an HR-2 Conversion kit onto it eventually, but great starter rack.

Bought mine when I started the home gym. Works well and is pretty sturdy. Would definitely recommend it. Works especially great for me because of my low ceilings in the basement. I find it’s a bit more wobbly side to side than a monster squat stand would be. Could see myself upgrading to an 80” monster series 4-post rack in the future. But that would only be by preference. Not necessity.

Ol reliable. This is the first piece of gym equipment I got for my basement and it's held up constant years of abuse. If you are going to get this, adding the storage horns on the back dramatically help with stability. For the price, you are getting a quality squat stand that can fit in low ceiling basements. Just know that Rogue has made it difficult to expand this rack into a full power rack, so you'll have to do a bit of frankensteining if you decide to go that route. Attachments are also limited but you can expand. The spotter arms have withstood tons of abuse and the frame itself feels sturdy to use even for Romanian deadlifts off the end. Definitely a great place to start and worth every penny.

Owned one of these for several years before switching over to the monster line, as long as you know what your getting into you won’t be disappointed, squat stands are great but don’t re rack like an asshole and expect it not to move. Best used if placed up against a wall or weighted down, ideal for low ceilings. Owned 2017-2022
