Whether a large collegiate athletic center, commercial gym or the garage of a serious fitness fiend, the Monster Lite RML-690C 3.0 brings top tier stability and plate storage capacity. Available in a wide range of color finish options, the unit has Slinger-compatible cross-members and is built for add-ons such as the Monster Lite Strap Safety System and Spotter Arms. In addition to the pull-up bar station, the power rack also features Westside pattern holes and eight plate storage posts on the back section, which is serves as a ballast for any number of pounds loaded on an Olympic bar sitting on the front side. The power rack’s uprights are 90 inches tall, meaning the adjustable bar holders can move up or down sufficiently for bench press, overhead press, squats either Olympic or overhead, and just about anything else one might want.

Worthy of either a large-scale training facility or a small garage, the SML-1 Rogue 70” Monster Lite Squat Stand combines mobility with stability. The two 70-inch stands are braced along the floor with 48-inch runner bars constructed from the same 3×3-inch 11-gauge steel as the rest of the unit. Westside hole patterns in the uprights afford users of any height an opportunity to adjust accordingly. One of the great things about a squat stand as opposed to a power rack is the ability to move the uprights laterally to adjust the width of the space between. This means utility benches will easily fit inside for bench pressing. The SML-1 is built for add-ons including the SAML-24 Monster Lite Safety Spotter Arms, which can be placed onto the uprights for deadlifts, rack pulls or safety squats.

Designed to be a genuine beginner’s model, the KS-1 Kids Squat Stand is not a toy at all, but in fact the real enough a deal for small adults. At 48.625 inches in height, the unit measures 28 inches between the uprights and has a maximum weight capacity of 150 pounds. Constructed with 2×2-inch 11-gauge steel, the entire product weighs 65 pounds meaning it can be moved about a gym or home easy enough. Colored bright red, the KS-1 Kids Squat Stand is one of the few actual products of its kind to be designed explicitly for beginners to the sport of powerlifting, or simply introduced to barbells. Adjustable holders slide up the uprights manufactured with 2-inch hole spacing, meaning children can get a feel for real when it comes to overhead pressing, curls or bench pressing.

When simple is simply the best fit, the Rogue RE-4 Echo Rack looks great. Athletes looking for a functional, practical home gym, or perhaps even a high school weight room, would do well to check out this model. Standing 90 inches with a compact 52×52-inch square footprint, the rack is manufactured from 2×2-inch 11-gauge steel and would be ideal for the overwhelming majority of lifters. No bells or whistles, or weight horns for placement of weights, it’s still a top choice for people not looking for all those add-ons. The cage itself is only 190 pounds and could more easily be relocated within the gym if need be, although the unit does require bolting to the floor for stability. Complete with a pull-up bar, the Rogue RE-4 Echo Rack doesn’t lend itself to the multiplicity of upper body exercises as some of the others, but with a little iron ingenuity, it can certainly support those goals.

Fitness doesn’t have to be a rich person’s game, and if one is looking for value, the Rogue ES-1 Squat Stand 2.0 brings it. Able to handle a 500-pound barbell squat easy enough, the entire unit is small and simply enough to fit in any corner. The 70.375-inch uprights are manufactured with holes spaced every 2 inches, and constructed with 2×2-inch 11-gauge steel. Only 43 inches wide and 48.5 inches deep, the entire unit weighs 95 pounds, but has been tested and rated up to 1,000 pounds in terms of weight-bearing capacity. With the right utility bench, the Rogue ES-1 Echo Squat Stand 2.0 could be used for other barbell work in addition to squats, deadlifts and rack pulls.
