I got a PR 5000. Did I need 1" hardware? No. Did I need 41" interior depth? No. Did I need the front spotter arms so I can bench outside the rack? No. Am I looking to buy more stuff? Yes. While my wife understands the hobby (obsession) she still brings up the cost every week or so....
But you can use that rack forever and never look back. A quality purchase, and yes it's expensive but an awesome choice. In 3 years you can look back still happy, never NEEDING more... but we like to dream :)
@@GlucksGym I am totally happy with the purchase and all the extra "necessities". But now I wonder if Santa will bring me the Kabuki Strength Trap and Transformer bars. Lol
@@richards6431 ok now you're getting crazy!
@@richards6431 do you happen to have the Titan Series Roller J-cups? I bought them waiting on them but don't know if they're a perfect or good fit for the pr5000
@@r8der674 Nope. Since Titan has their stuff made in China like REP does I am going to assume they will fit fine. Good luck.
Watched this video out of curiosity because before buying mine I did months of research and comparisons, and you knock it all out in about 16 min. Very well done sir.
Thank you! That's just me essentially the same thing in a video summary 😇
I've just started my research for a power rack and was feeling lost and overwhelmed. Your video was extremely helpful and I appreciate it! Thank you, Sir!

I just found your channel and I have to say I like how you arrange the videos. They are very in-depth and informative. I like that there is no distracting music or stressful editing to create action-packed scenes. The videos have a very welcoming tone to them like anyone could watch no matter of experience. I also enjoy the comical elements.
Great channel!
Thank you! I really appreciate that we'll thought out and thorough comment. It's very helpful and encouraging, thanks for taking the time.
Great vid! Its been a long time since ive lifted weights, and a local gym really aint in the cards.
So i started looking into building my own, and you packed some great info in here for me to consider.
Checking this out. I agree with the space and adding to it. My rack there’s like 100 things I can upgrade to. I love it
Always great to hear from you Luke!
Video quality is getting better and better. I think this is my favorite one yet!
Once I finally have time to put my lights in maybe we'll make another jump! Thank you!
I got RML-390BT and upped it to the 30" depth over the 24" standard last February which was 130 less than it is now so I'm glad I jumped on that. Very happy with it. the attachments versitility is what pushed me into the 3x3. I wouldn't have done Monster because I do not like the over done 1" bolts.
They're definitely a bit much but they do have better freedom building out to the side with the consistent spacing but the accessories are also more expensive. Love the RML series too though
Appreciating the massive amounts of effort 💪
This one almost killed me.
I've watched a bunch of your videos in the last 2 days - am glad the algorithm surfaced your channel! The only other gym equipment review channel I'm subbed to is Coop's Garage Gym Reviews so I'm glad I found this. Part review, part comedy, what's not to like.
Thanks for the support and kind words! Glad you enjoy it! Hope some of the info is helpful or at least brings you a few laughs.
Very in depth! Very informative! Thanks, Gluck!
Thank you! This one took a ton of effort
Your delivery has dramatically improved over the last few months. Go you!
It's been a lot of improvement in what seems like a little time! Thanks!
Awesome job putting this all together!
Thanks for answering my questions about all this on your PR-5000 video. I realize I wouldn't have had them if I saw this one first. Lesson learned, watch all Gluck's videos.
Hahaha this is a great comment! Glad to be of help
Extremely helpful, I am building my own Rep PR5000 like rack, at home, and will be using 3X3" steel. I will post the results when I a done
I always look forward every week to watch your videos mainly because I love the shirts you wear. You got Great taste and style 👌
I can't even remember what shirt I was wearing but that thumbnail shirt! Ohhhh baby that's nice
Got the RML-3 based on your videos, Gluck. I could not be happier. Got my wife to help with planning, budget and bribed her with a pink Ohio bar.Thanks!
Hahaha that's awesome! Glad to hear it! Such a nice rack too and sounds like an even better wife!
I love your content Gluck. I have a Titan X-6 Flatfoot decked out with Rep and Rogue attachments as well. I named him “The Devastator”!!
Nice! The real dream right there. And thanks!
I went crazy with the REP rack building tool after watching all the Rack videos, so $3,000 later I have the dream rack that will likely stay in my dreams for a long time. But that clear coat finish with Blue crossmembers will surely add 20 lbs to my squat and make it worth it. Continue planning and dreaming for now. The rack videos have been such a great help.
I've heard the clear coat ads 30lbs to your bench and your wifes love also grows 14%!
So much helpful information packed into a single video. Now I'm ready to conquer the world!
And build one yourself!
wow - love your videos for the content.... but the humor! The Best!!! Keep bringin' it!
Thank you 😁 gonna need that support because this one pro isn't getting the views it deserves.
The best rack review yet! Thank you!
Thank you!
I was going to buy the Titan T-3 but based on your comments about accessories and innovation coming in the 3x3 uprights, I'm going to go with the X-3 now. Thanks!
Great video bud. Learned alot
I spent more than I knew was necessary. But I was so happy putting it together. I didn’t wanna leave any possibility of regretting my decision and wanting upgrade. So I bought a rogue monster. Cannot possibly be more happy.
And what matters more than that right?
I did the same. Went with a rogue RM4 with the straps, spotter arms, and trolly system. Wish I would have down the RM6 instead since I’m looking at a cleaner storage for the plates, bars and some accessories. Was it over kill, especially with the trolly arms, yes. Do I regret the overkill, nope. I find myself using it more than my previous Amazon Prime rack purchase and slowly attaching more to the Monster Rack.
@@calderonmike yeah buddy!
@@calderonmike exactly. And i have a wife who is a beginner to lifting. She’s gonna lift when I’m not there so safety was a priority. I got some plate storage and the mini feet for security. Im 245lbs and literally hung on the top and started swinging around. Thing barely moved. I know you feel secure with your RM-4 as well.
I went 6 post PR-4000. Really liked the 5000 but when you price in everything including accessories, the same on the 4000 is so much cheaper, especially if you plan to get all of them! Most people don’t factor in accessories when buying a rack. They absolutely should. With the savings, I was able to purchase 370lbs of plates. Win win, can’t go wrong with solid heavy duty 3x3.
You're right there the accessories on a 1" are more expensive and it really does add up! That's a great rack!
@@GlucksGym And by the way, the drop down safeties and spotter arms on the 4000 have 1 inch holes so you can also use some 1 inch accessories on your 5/8 inch rack. Another win!
Great detailed video! Subscribed! 👌🏽
Thank you so much!
Our dear brother Gluck did well for himself lol, a family that lifts together STAYS together, blessed holiday friend, beautiful family.
Thank you David! Happy turkey day!
I got a PR-4000 rack from Rep when I was setting up my home gym a few months ago, and I'm very happy with it. It's heavy duty and very solid, and has basically every possible accessory available.
Yep! We reviewed that beast and it's a great value and really good rack!
Great informative AND entertaining content! Helped me with my decision! :)
Thank you and glad to hear it but what did you decide?!
@@GlucksGym I´m from Germany so I´m going with a local supplier here. It´s going to be either the Sqmize SQ460/48 or the Riot Powercage from strenghshop Europe. Both have 75x75x3mm Steel-Posts and compatible options. ATX is still an option if I can get a great deal on the PRX 650 or 750. That would mostly lock me in with their options because of their weird 60/60/3 and 70/70/3 format, though.
Awesome video as always. Can't wait to see your channel continue to grow. I have a Rogue 390-F. It is great. Thought I had to get a flat foot one because with regular racks you're technically supposed to drill them into the floor but I think that may be a tad overrated especially if you have six posts or put weight storage on them or add a stabilizer cross beam. If you can manage a six-post rack, I think the weight storage is really nice, but they are huge. With mine, I can put weight storage on, but it often gets in the way.
Folding them down can definitely be overkill especially when you get to 3x3 and 6 posts. Depends on your setup. I never bothered with my 2x3 6 post, it's still a beast but not all racks are built the same.
Thanks for the kindness and support!
@@GlucksGym *Bolting them down :)
@@Tlevy2 haha I got you
You know, the depth graphic has cleared up for me what the hell the difference between the RM- models is. Still don't want to pay rogue prices in Europe, but any day you end up less confused than when you started is a win.
Great video. I bought a cheap ass rack a few years ago and hole spacing at 2 inches is really annoying. This is helpful on what to consider for a more considered upgrade.
Thanks for kind words. I appreciate it especially since this one took awhile to create. Glad it was helpful.
The GluckVille intros are the best 🥇💪🏼🏆
Another Wynie written intro 😂
I remember couldn't decide what rack to buy, so I built one myself from 4x4 wood, still works pretty well (as result it wasn't cheaper than buying one about $500)
This is a gem 💎
This one was a ton of work. I still need to finish that article 😂😭
Great video. I can’t focus on anything but how he holds his hands in the video.
hahahaha I have no idea why I did that the entire video
I got a Legend rack. It's not really modular but I just needed a half rack that fitted in the space - I like that stuff like the weight storage pins are welded on. It just seems simpler with less bolts everywhere. It's rock solid, all American and reasonable (ish) price if you buy from them direct. No; I don't work for them.
These days I abhor watching information dump TH-cam videos because some people just don't know how to get to the point or provide thorough, or simply, useful enough information to validate watching it - kind of the opposite of what helping really is supposed to achieve. But I must admit, not only was this very informative it was also very entertaining in a concise way - a modern marvel one might say. Thank you, I am now entertained and smarter-er about these steel bars and I am not going to buy the Mikolo rack I had my eyes on.
Just brought my rack and I just went with what everyone else brought! Either CAP Barbell M9505 or Reality Fitness 810!
Good review, thanks!
Thank you!
I hope you upgrade to the REP with Ares cable attachment. Your reviews are the best
Rep is in the running but idk about the Ares, I have a full cable machine so I'd have to sell it afterwards. Plus that's some budget right there!
Nice to see the growth in your channel. What black iron plates are you rocking nowadays?
Those are my Rogue deep dish for the most part. Though there's others too.
I got my rack from Costco (inspired fitness brand). For $799 I got a high quality rack (3*3 11 gauge steel with 1 inch hardware) and a bunch of accessories (safety pins, spotter arms, landmine, dip bar, band pegs, rope handle). I don’t think any other comparable options can beat the Costco price. The only complain is the 3 inch hole spacing, but it works just fine for me.
I have the same rack and for the $799 price tag and free delivery this is a great rack. It is also made in the USA. I really don’t have too many complaints and the attachments with it are great!!! If I had unlimited money, I suppose a Rogue Monster would be my choice 🤷🏻♂️
Same thing, but I managed to get it on sale for $650. It's an absolute solid, great rack at that price point. Honestly, it's on par with some much higher priced racks.
I really like your videos, they're very informative and fun to watch! I'm trying to choose a power rack, but struggling to find many options as thick as 11 gauge. I live in Finland so I'm converting from metric, but most common thickness is 2mm which would be 14 gauge. The racks I find are rated for 1000lbs or more, so I'm wondering are the measurements sketchy or are they sturdy and safe. The other size available is 3mm which is a hair thicker than 11 gauge, but the cost is doubled.
Your vids are really awesome. Very informative and funny skit lol
Thanks Anna! That one took a ton of effort so it's nice to hear.
Damn, what a great video! I'm a no-rack guy because I'm still moving every 2-4 years with my job, and someday, shopping for a rack will be my fantasy from the Holodeck come true! But by the time I get around to it, a rack may cost $29,000, and really, I'm too much of a sissy to break it down and move it more than once.
BTW, you two should consider a calendar - of Wynie and you hanging out with the equipment. Heck, even hire a cat for October. I'd buy it! (Appreciate all the work that went into this video. It's loaded with info and solid advice.) 💯💯💯
Thank you it was a ton of work! That comment was a ride that's for sure. In 2-4 years racks are projected to cost at least twice your estimated price so good luck there. Also moving racks suckkkks I took my R6 along with me from my old to new house and it wasn't particularly fun.
You know we are working on some merch so hopefully we make something to your liking but I'll admit the cat thing through me off and I never though about a calendar haha.
Super informative..
I myself went with just a squat rack for space reasoning … it’s Rogue SML-2 which I could convert to a RML flat foot but not sure on pulling the trigger yet.
I would like to invest in a dip attachment but not sure if it’ll work on my SmL 2 and maybe a landmine but I don’t really see myself using that too often .
Landmines are fun but if you're not in the habit of using them it does take some programming effort to work them in. Luckily they're pretty cheap.
I have an RM3 and it's way over built but damn I love it. Ordered many options as well as weights like dumbbells and plates and a bench, $75 shipping! I did the math on how much I saved on shipping and it was well over $500. Added that to my budget to buy more stuff lol
As long as you're happy right? And you'll be happy with it 10 years from now too!
Hahah this video is awesome great work man!!
Thank you so much!
Great vid. Nice to see someone with some character...
On my 3rd rack in this house. Been it it for almost 4 years lol. Bought the Rep pr 4000 when I saw the video of there cable crossovers for the rack.. while I wait on that. The 4000 is a very very nice rack I've used them all 1" hardware is a joke an the attachments cost more. Plus Westside spacing is a big plus with my kids an wife using the rack. Griffin racks looking very good as well. If they offered the 5/8" when I was buying that might have been my choice. Since it's the same as Reps
1" is a bit overkill but so are many of these racks anyway. There are some attachments that will shoot the gap of 2" but with me and Wynie it doesn't matter, our heights are so far off we always just use her lower heights.
I'm glad this channel has grown, and the inclusion of the website is great too, but Mr. Gluck you need to upgrade to a 3x3 rack.
Thank you! Don't worry we'll be changing this one very soon...
The links are how we manage to review things now and expand! 😍
Great video 💪
Thanks Paul!
This video was hilarious. Thank you!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
I work at a manufacturing plant that works with square and round tubing and I can get anything made at cost of material without labor cost and they can paint or powder coat it too. I have access to CAD software so let's say I am designing my own rack.
That sounds sick!
That was a great skit, creative
As someone who went with the RML 490 C in light grey I will say I have one regret with my purchase... I wish I would have just gotten the monster series. Go with 1 inch hardware! The main reason I went with the Rogue monster lite instead of the monster series is because of the west side hole spacing in the benching area. However, honestly I don't think this is as useful even if you're a powerlifter than getting the greater versatility and luxury of the 1" hardware.
Whether its sorinex, rogue, titan, rep... literally doesn't matter (in terms of quality of the Rack itself, for the most part). I would say purchase from whichever company is closest to where its being shipped too. Think long term with the attachments. There are many attachments that you either cant find for or don't work as well with 5/8" hardware. For example the leg rollers made for 5/8" hardware racks are more cumbersome and bulky which means the versatility and use of them for a multitude of exercises is going to be limited. Saftey straps are not as cool for the 5/8" racks as well. Not to mention certain attachments made by companies like sorinex wont even fit because they exclusively use 1" hardware (bulldog pad for example).
Most companies (rogue) prioritize the design and engineering of attachments for their 1" hardware racks and then maybe if they're feeling generous they will make a similar or identical attachment for the 5/8" model but don't count on it.
Just my opinion and I hope it helps someone who is considering spending thousands of dollars on something they probably don't want to have to sell and purchase again if they don't like what they initial got.
Agreed. I've had my Rogue Monster Lite half rack for 9 months now, and I wish I would've got the 36" Monster rack with 1" holes instead. The Monster series has more and higher quality attachments then the Monster Lite series and more holes on the sides of the uprights for more attachment mounting options.
My Legend Fitness half rack is a tank. Nearly dropped a nut assembling it. Hammer Strength is top notch as well
Great information! I’ve had multiple Titan and Rep racks. Looking forward to finally getting a few Monster Racks in the near future.
The only thing that has kept me away from them is the 49” width, but I’m willing to bite the bullet!
Most importantly, I’m going to use the Sandwich J-Cups to make the width (on the bar) around a nice 48” wide to help minimize hitting the bar/ plates on the rack!
Some people cheat that width with monolifts as well. A bit of a pricey solution but an option nonetheless. Thank you!
Truth! That’s why the PR-5000 was initially an excellent option for us!
It's not any longer? Why not?
@@GlucksGym The gym will be changing in the near future! Stay tuned 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Good info Gluck thanks! I've been looking for a power rack for over a week. I'm debating between Titan, REP and Giant. I'm leaning towards Giants 3X3 11 gauge power rack flat base FB3X for $700.
Personally (without knowing anything about your situation so take it for what it's worth) I'd go Rep > Titan > Giant. I put a lot in a name and giant doesn't have quite the same length of track record
Thanks for the support!
Thanks for the advice! I will definitely consider it when making my decision. Initially was thinking of going with Rep. PR 4000 even though its more expensive.
@@dannyd0491 you can check out our video on it and see if that helps. As long as you're happy with your decision that's all that matters.
Well, I am trying to decide between the Monster Lite and PR-4000. So at least my initial research has led me to the same conclusions as this video. And my partner is going to use the rack as well, so there is theoretically less chance of separation.
Ohhh our new rack is on the way! We did review the PR 4k as well so that vid might help
Couldn't agree more. Got burnt badly tryin to save a few hundred buying from a small company. Rack delivered: Awful QC, damage on receipt, and the customer service wanted me to ship it back to them for them to do anything about it.. mine you total shipping weight was over 300 lbs so you can only guess what the freight would have been. My advice is to buy from a well established Company who can support you when things go sideways and as you need things down the road. I managed to get out of this one with just under a $500 net loss (and a new Rogue RML is en route), but learn from my mistakes. Your barbell and your power rack are the two places NOT to save money.
I like this guy 😁
I hadn’t lifted a barbell in two years, I have dumbbells 3-95 LBs. I haven’t missed any gains, unilateral squats and deadlifts with heave DBs are just as effective as any barbell , that being said do both, I just don’t have the barbell option at this point, and I probably won’t unless I come across a killer deal
I purchased the rogue monster light squat rack (sml-2) a few months back and I’m regretting not getting a rack. The half rack conversion kit is on my Christmas list. The fat man better come through
hahaha the fat man. I hope he does! At least you can convert though!
The thing with Rogue is they always hold good value you can always resell it
@@r8der674 That is true though it's probably best not to have to
Thanks for the info and by the way you were great in the cable guy movie lol
If I ever change my Bells of Steel rack, it will be for a Irwin Fitness Alpha series. Made in Canada. Not budget friendly but very high quality !
Canadia you say eh? I like their white and black combo
How I have I never heard of Irwin before...?
i paid $650 for inspire fitness fpc1 from costco - Although i wanted the rogue, the fpc1 does everything the rogue does except perfect fitment for all the rogue accessories.
Good stuff Gluck! It’s hard to beat REP’s PR5000, especially now with their “free” shipping. A robust 3x3 with 1 “ accessory holes will future-proof the big investment. Titan’s Titan rack is a close 2nd in my opinion,| especially considering it’s lower cost and now they’re offering color VS their basic black powder coat. Rogue is still way overpriced, hope they smell the coffee and seriously consider free shipping.
Rogue isn't cheap that's for sure but they do have a lot of value for the money. I do think between Titan, Rep, and Rogue you'll cover great options that would keep the vast majority of home gym owner's happy.
The problem is that both REP and Titan aren't actually 3"x3" with 1" holes and 2" spacing. They're the closest metric standard sizes - its a 75mmx75mm (2.95"x2.95") upright with 50mm (1.95") hole spacing. This means that accessories built for true 3"x3" racks either fit with slop, or if they require multiple pins, doesn't fit at all.
The titan fitness rollers, which one was those exactly? I have a Rogue infinity rack and I’m damn near about to upgrade just to get roller j cups to monster series.
Titan T3. Many size options. Plenty accessories and attachments. And it’s quality. Beta investment I have made
I've spent a lot of time under that rack! Actually even my old R6 had a bunch of stuff made for Titan's T3 line.
love your videos
Thank you! Love the support!
What do you think of Valor Fitness? I'm looking at their BD41 CCCL rack with lat pull and cable crossovers.
Ha ha. My son went off to college and they only have half racks, bumper plates, and cheap bars at his school. When he comes home to visit he uses our gym and says he now appreciates it way more.
Getting to workout with your kid at college age, you're living the dream!
¡Excelent video!
Thank you!
When I started I got a full size Macy power rack had lat pull down, pull up bar and dip attachments for 400 but it has a max out at 300 for press so have to upgrade
I know the exact rack you mean. Very popular budget rack but would apart from some of the ones mentioned here. What are you upgrading to?
I’m confused... should I watch this as an informative video about power racks or a light comedy video? Nice work as always and I can’t believe that you don’t have 500k subs!
I think a little of both hopefully. And thank you! Love the support
Great vid Thanks mate👍
Thank you!
@@GlucksGym hope you make more vids like that one. It was right up my ally. Happy new year mate👍
I ment not about racks. But other home gym stuff. Cheers mate
@@andrewryan7583 that's mostly our thing so no problem there haha. Thanks
Couple of questions the rep pr 1050 short power rack is it a good rack? Can I add lat pull down attachment to it?
I believe Vesta Fitness sales imported racks that are equivalent (49” inside) to Rogue. May possibly be a budget version for people to add Rogue (or others) attachments to. Just throwing out that info for the peeps.
I just ordered one, vesta 3" by 3" 11 gauge rack for $559 with free shipping. I'm hoping it turns out well.
Holy cow you can get an Olympic curl bar for $72. Dang
haha good luck! I'm not much for hoping when it comes to my rack purchase but please let us know how it goes!
some of those prices are starting to scare me and not in a fun way
Great info and somewhat entertaining. I was wondering where you got the tattered flag decal on the back wall above the mirror? It would look good in my gym.
Somewhat entertaining is all I ever hoped for 😂 Wynie got me it as an xmas present. Not entirely sure who made it but she bought it online.
I was not expecting to laugh my ass off while trying to find a power rack
Very informative. Your hands... are you scrubbed in for surgery?
This guy is funny. I love it.
I like this guy right here
I want to install a foldable rack in a garage but there’s a slant like all garages. Would shims help?
So the PR 5000 is the same as PR 5000v2. I built my rack at rep fitness its a pr5000. Iam a little confused I chose the 80" rack and 30" if I buy lat pull down attachment and stabilizer I won't need to bolt it down correct?? Will the rogue leverage arms work on this rack?
OK this is my dilemma.🙄
I currwntly have this set up PRX wall rack and separate valor lat pull down machine, separate rogue pull up bar, separate rogue band station with matador dip attachment and landmine (this is what I currently have right now) and many of other things.. I want the rogue arms so for that I will have to get another rack I think so I been looking at the one mentioned avobe..now if I get the pr5000 with lat pull down, rogue leverage arms, dip, land mind and pull up bar attachments I can sell all my other stuff and this way I will have everything consolidated in one rack..don't know if I will like everything cramped up in one place though🤔🤔. Or maybe just replace prx wall rack with rogue wall rack and keep everything else in separate stations like I have it now??🤔🤔
thanks for the efforts with your reviews, much appreciated. I have a question for you regarding rack height. My basement space is 104" high, I'm looking at the Rep 5000, it comes in an 80" and 93" height. Those using the rack are 5'10" to 6'1". Which would you recommend?
I'd go 93". That's what we have and it works well and I'm 6'. The 80 is normally used in shorter basements.
Very interesting and good explanation! 🥇 Brother, one question, what is the measurement of the INSIDE of the cage (where the bar rests) for high traffic cages, I see that some have measurements of 49", others 47", others less. I have that little doubt.🙏🏻🙏🏻
💪🏻🇵🇪👍🏻
If they're 3x3 (Rogue Monster or Monster lite, Reo Pr 4000 or 5000, Vells Hydra, Titan X3 and Tiran, series, etc) just subtract 6"
Bro got his priorities right 🤣💪🏼
Hey Buddy. Just coming across your channel and enjoying it!! I actually own a Rogue R4 Rack. Truth be told, I prefer the 3x2 upright size to the 3x3 sizing. I used to have the Body Solid GPR378 (classic rack LOL with 3x3) . There's just something more elegant about the miniamlism and simplicity of 3x2. It's still got the same weight capacity as the "beefier" racks, with none of the excess. Am I the only one who feels that way? 😓 I guess that attachments are a big business nowadays, and strictly barbell training is becoming less popular (531BBB FTW!)
Yeah it's the attachments companies push now that forces the switch. No real reason any of us need larger racks but we often get there. Don't be too sad when we swap to 3x3 it's more for the reviews but I have loved this rack for years.
@@GlucksGym appreciate the quick reply, I know you've loved your R6 and just watched your video about it from Jan 2021. ☺️👍
Oh man that's one of the earlier ones. I gotta go back sometime and see how far we've come
I live In Alaska and Rogue wants almost $800 to ship me a rack, Rep and Titan don’t ship to me. I have a cheap rack that I purchased from Walmart not knowing if I’d use it. It’s wobbly. I need a good 4 post rack that doesn’t need to be bolted down.from a company that ships to Alaska. I’m willing to spend $2000 total with the flexibility to add on attachments later. Any suggestions?
Will you cover foldable/wall mounted racks?
I was looking at rogue’s monster lite rml 390 foldable rack. Any thoughts on this? I’d appreciate your opinion on it
I will and the article (if I ever get more time to work on it!) will have more on it. We're actually doubling the size of our gym to cover more stuff.
Rogue's racks on general are really good and that's a good one if it works for you. You may want see how level your floor is first so you can determine what steps need to be done to make it work if it's not.
@@GlucksGym nice! I’ll be on the lookout for it. I will definitely be measuring before committing.
Btw, just wanted to let you know you have a great content 👍🏼 good balance of comedy and info. Much appreciated!
Thank you! That means a lot to us!
I can relate to the intro 😂

What is up with the octagonal (maybe hexagonal) door into your gym? Looks cool, but seems really hard to build.
Not entirely sure why they did that. I built the entire inside of the garage but the rough structure was here when I bought the place
Hey Gluck, do you recommend assembling a rack yourself or getting the expert assembly?
They're pretty simple. I'd do it myself. If you're talking an Ares or Athenas that's more involved but racks are easy enough.
I honestly think full power racks are over rated for a normal home gym. A half rack (like a pro form half rack) will do wonders and take up less space. And for a home gym, real estate is gold.
We couldn’t be happier with our Titan T-3
Anyone know if the rack shown at 2:50 mark with the built in functional trainer add-on will work on the Rogue Monster RM6? And does anyone have any experience using that attachment?
I'm pretty sure that's a Sorinex power rack and those look like the Functional Cable Column from Sorinex. Looks like the brackets used to attached to the power rack have plenty of space to fit the rogue hole spacing configuration.
Nice video Gluck, how's the finish holding up on your infinity ? While I do enjoy the look of my Monster rack - 3x3 is fun for customization - I however gotta say that Rogue's finish especially for the stock black is terrible. you basically blow on it and it scratches. I am farely careful with my gear and despite this, regular use covers it with nicks. After a year of use, cosmetic damage shows like crazy. I would be curious how other companies compare finish wise. We pay the big dough for Rogue but I find that it's where they lack the most. Some uprights where even scratched inside the box when I got mine...packing hasn't always been the best as well so for sure it doesn't help !
Woah are you saying Rogue isn't perfect?! Blasphemy! I do get some downvotes and hate if I ever point out issues with them but that's the job right? Mine has held up very well. It's probably 4 years old and traveled with me when I moved houses. It's no perfect it's banged up some but overall I'd say it's held up very well. That's what scares me about getting fancy colors in my next one.
@@GlucksGym honestly at this price point when you add shipping costs, I think it's perfectly normal to complain !! holding up and long term use is top priority so I think Rogue has that covered but we like our homegyms to look pretty too !
I'm with you there. Premium price premium expectations. It's why we're more forgiving (sometimes) to Titan and others though admittedly I can be pretty harsh on anyone 🤣
Considering the cost of all other hobbies, this one has got to be the cheapest. My cycling hobby can run upwards of $6000 per year ($12,000 bike amortized over three years plus maintenance and several cycling kits per year at around $1000. Many of my cycling pals also have motorcycles which I don’t have, so that’s my angle 😉
