I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B
Thank you so much for this demonstration video. I fiinally received my RML-3WC folding rack today and this definitely made the process easier. I wish Rogue had bothered to make an informative and easy to understand tutorial/setup video.
Thank you for this video! We just received our wall mount today and I didn’t see how I was going to be able to do it in the same order of steps provided in the instructions. The way you did it was very helpful!
Great video! Thank you! One question: when extending and folding the arms, do they "drag" on the floor, or can you lift them up a bit? I have a very nice wooden floor I want to protect where I want to mount the rack, and I need some spare room between the floor and the arms to slide under a mat when I get ready to train.
Thanks! Mine do drag or slide on the floor when we fold and unfold it. Although I just tried to lift the legs and they do slide up so it looks like you could lift them up every time you needed to. This may not be the most fun but does look doable. The bottom of the legs have plastic feet so maybe putting felt or something on the bottom would help as well.
Florian Arnusch tech support says the arms have enough play in them so that they don’t have to drag when being folded in. I was worried about that also.
@@shonubi How high can you lift each post side when folding the rack in? I have a 1” raised edge around my garage floor. With 3/4 mats down I still have a 1/4” to clear when fully closing the rack. I can’t find anywhere the height or play the brackets have when one lifts the posts when closing. I appreciate the help.
Thanks for sharing the details. This is great. Also, you have pointed out the important concept of the folding rack that the wall does not really take weight loads, it was the 3"x3" tube that takes the vertical load transfer to the floor below when you drop the barbell. Now it all makes sence.
Thank you so much for putting this up. I've been hesitant about purchasing this and it has been on my mind for a while but i wanted to see reviews on this. Your clip nailed this and it was just what i needed to see! Thanks again! Anything with Rogue is quality beyond.
So before measuring for the mandated distance between the floor and the bottom stringer, I should put in place any gym flooring first, and measure the distance between THAT flooring and the stringer, correct? I purchased their Rogue rubber tile mats (1.5" thick) so I assume I should measure the distance between that tile and the bottom stringer, NOT my actual home floor, is this right? Thanks for the vid. It will help a lot.
yes correct. If you are looking for review of this squat rack can be found th-cam.com/video/RoAcYJsetuk/w-d-xo.html and in comments, you will find link for installation video which will answer all questions related to hardware and installation steps. Thanks!
Best video on TH-cam for this rack. Which type of wall did you have? If I understand correctly, Rogue only deliver wall mounting screws for wood. But in central EU concrete is the common construction material. Install heavy stuff on a concrete wall is not so easy. You need heavy duty metal anker, mortar to fix the anker in the wall and a powerfull hammer drill to screw a 20mm hole in the wall. But this mounting is overbuild like Rogue products 😂
Great video! How high is your ceiling? My ceiling is about 95 inches (the vertical bar is supposed to be ~91 inches). Just want to make sure I have enough clearance before purchasing. Thanks!
Great DIY Install/Review video. I notice you went with the 21.5" depth...in your opinion, does that leave enough room for an incline bench? Or should I opt for the 41.5"? Thanks!
Hey, great video! I hope you can respond to this question that I have. How and what is your barbell being stored upright in this video? It is right next to the rack. Thanks
First of all, thank you so much for creating an amazing tutorial. I've just got my Rogue Rack today and excited to build it. However, this is my first time tackling something like this and the tools I have already is a power drill, level, stud finder and I'm honestly not too sure what else I need. When I saw you install the stringer to the wall, which screws and washer did you purchase because I didn't realize it didn't come with those. Thank you again and hope to hear from you soon!
Thank you! I used: Ratchet with socket, open end wrench, or adjustable wrench, 3/4" or 19mm, 9/16" or 14mm, 15/16" or 24mm, 15/64" drill bit and drill, Tape measure, and a level. I ordered mine with the stringer to attach it to the wall and it came with the 16 lag bolts and washers needed. If you did not get the stringer you will need to get a piece of lumber to mount it to the wall on the top and bottom. Then I would use lag bolts that are at least 3.5" long. Hope this helps.
Question: Are the bottom of the posts always in contact with the ground? i.e. when opening and closing are they just constantly being dragged along the floor in that 1/4 circle arc? I saw you installed on top of a gym floor mat. I am wondering if I should get that or just stick with my regular garage concrete floor. Also, what material is on the bottom of the posts? Is it metal, plastic, rubber, or some other sort of composite dragging along the ground upon setup/break down? Thanks & great video.
I'm getting ready to install mine and LOVE your video!! So helpful! Thank you!! I had the same question on how this would work on the slope of the driveway floor as many. I saw where you pointed out how it swings out and the range w/in the swing joint. I also love your suggestion on using the 3/4" stall mat - good to know before I put up the Stringers. Thank you!
Glad to hear and thanks! Ya I might find the slope of you floor and use the distance that it drops to mount the stringers that much lower than the suggested measurements. We love our stall mats!
@@ThatTechTeacher427 This might be a silly question but how do I determine the slope of my garage floor. I would assume it probably slopes a touch due to drainage. Just a long level like you used in the video?
@@Nflforever2 Exactly. I would put one side of the level against the wall and the other where the leg will touch the floor. Lift the level on the low side until the bubble is in the middle and measure the distance between the floor and the level where the leg will touch the floor (either 21.5" or 41" away from the wall). That measurement will be how much lower you mount the stringer than the #s in the directions.
Thanks for your vid, it's really helpful. I'm still struggling to decide if I should go for the RML-3W or the R-3W as I'm worried the RML-3W might be too bulky for my small home gym. What's your opinion on that, seems like your room isn't too big either. Thank you.
Amazing video. Thank you so much. Just a few questions though, how high are your ceilings? Also, how tall are you and can you do pull-ups comfortably. (Sorry if this is too personal, I'm just trying to compare. Lol.)
Thanks! The ceiling in my basement is roughly 93.5" from concrete to joist. We have rubber stall mats on the floor and there are copper pipes above where the rack is installed so the usable height is 92.25". I installed the top arms 1 hole lower so the pull up bar could be a little lower. We have 12.5" between the the pull up bar and the joists and it works fine for us.
@@ThatTechTeacher427 Hi from the UK. I'm thinking of getting this also, further to BennyWinz's question, have you tried a muscle-up on the bar? Wondering if there would be enough head room above the bar for this? Cheers
@@mali1067 In my basement no way! lol I only have enough room to get my head above the bar. Although in an area with higher ceilings like a garage this rack is sturdy enough to do them.
When you fold the vertical supports, is there a bit of vertical slop so that you can lift the bottom off the ground? Or does it inevitably drag across the ground? Thanks for the video!
@@WorldDroneTours you could add one retroactively but I would recommend putting the mat down first if you can to get your measurements proper. Because you'll need to mount the stringers at the right height in order to take full advantage of that slop. Alternatively you could mount the stringers higher by the thickness of your mats to anticipate their arrival. If it's a half inch or less that would work
Thanks! Good Question, I used: Ratchet with socket, open end wrench, or adjustable wrench, 3/4" or 19mm, 9/16" or 14mm, 15/16" or 24mm, 15/64" drill bit and drill, Tape measure, and a level.
Great video. Question: What is the measurement from the floor to the bottom and top stringer ? My rack is on the way, but I cant find the install instructions online, and I need to prep an aluminum-stud wall. Thanks for the video.
Hey, if you are looking for review of this squat rack can be found th-cam.com/video/RoAcYJsetuk/w-d-xo.html and *in comments, you will find link for installation video which will answer all questions related to hardware and installation steps. Thanks!*
10/10 perfect tutorial Ryan, easy to follow and fun to watch. Not sure I would add the house music you chose to my lifting playlist anytime soon but a great video anyway. Looking forward to seeing you get big like Link
This video was super helpful! I’ve been looking at this rig and think I’m going to take the plunge for my new space. Plus, as a golden owner myself, I thoroughly enjoyed the dog cameos. 👌🏽
How did you know the exact height to put both of the stringers? I know you dry fitted but the stringer takes up area outside the connecting posts. I have a rack on the way and i might have to change the height on the stringers sonany help is appreciated. This is a great video
Thanks for the great video! How is it doing pull-ups with it so close to ceiling? I have similar height setup. Also for toes-to-bar/kipping pull-ups does the 21 feel crammed/too small?
Thank I appreciate it! Pull ups are not an issue we have 12.5" above the pull up bar which is enough for our heads. The 21" arms are ok for standard pull ups and chin ups. Due to our ceiling heights we are unable to try any swinging moves or get on top of the bar. If we had higher ceilings I think you could still do those moves.
Great job with the installation. I have a few questions. 1. Did you drill into brick, plaster or plaster board? 2. Did you not need to use raw plugs for the bolts? 3. Was your floor perfectly level? 4. What is the clearance between the uprights and the floor? Thanks in anticipation of your reply, John
Thanks! 1. Wood 2x4s 2.No the stringer came with lag screws that went into my wood studs. 3.foor was pretty level so nothing crazy there but you can adjust the height of the stringers to help with uneven floors. 4.the vertical uprights rest on the floor.
Thanks for the great video, it really helped decide to buy. I’m installing in my garage which are cement walls which require me to substitute with tapcons. What is the length of the drill bit or screws that comes with the rack to install the stringer?
We just got ours delivered (for some reason not all the packages came at once). At the we ordered it, there was no option for buying the stringer. Any idea how big you think the piece of wood needs to be (as a substitute for the stringer)? I was thinking about 55 inches but I’m an amateur and would appreciate if you have some advice. Also, this is by far the best video on TH-cam for this rack. I’m super impressed at how well I followed your process. I’m looking forward to exploring some more of your projects! We also got a separate pull up bar from Rogue (P-6V) since my husband and I workout together a lot. I’m going to see if you have a video installing that by chance! 🤓🤞🏾🙏🏾 thank you so much!!!
Thanks! I really appreciate it! For the stringer you could use a 2x10 that is at least 52" or longer (55" would work great) as that would reach 4 studs although I may go 68" or more to reach 5 studs. Then you can purchase lag bolts and washers at a local hardware store. I would say 3.5" long.
I followed the installation instructions for stringer mounting height and the feet are about a millimeter off the floor (they don’t drag at all). The instructions say the feet must be touching the floor. In hindsight I wish I had paid more attention before drilling all those lag bolt holes. My garage floor isn’t perfectly level which is likely the problem. As others have mentioned there is plenty of vertical play at the pivot point if you need to lift the bar when swinging. I could have easily lowered my stringers a half inch or more with no issue. Maybe a pad on the floor will help.
That is true and something I wish I would have explain better in the video. You could always put down a rubber mat or sheet of plywood to raise the level of the floor.
Love how you made the whole video very understandable, for someone who does not speak English that well. My question is how tall does the ceiling have to be? will 8 foot ceiling be enough? Thank you in advance.
This would be a huge help to me... could you measure what height your pull-up bar is and also could you measure the very top of where the pullup bar cups mount to the rack... it looks like you have exactly 3 holes showing above the mounts to the pullup bar... I would be curious to know what that height is. Rogue told me to cut the rack to 84inches and I am curious to see if that height is 84 inches... from the top of the pullup bar mount down
The way I have it installed where the top arm is mounted 1 hole lower, the top of the pull up bar is right around 81" and the top of the cup mount is at 83.5".
Thank you so much. So at an 88 inch ceiling height it makes perfect sense that rogue suggested cutting the rack to 84 inches. Basically mine will be set up just like yours but without the 3 holes above the pull up mounts showing. Thanks so much brother. So sorry to bother you with this. I appreciate your help from 1 teacher to another god bless!
Great tutorial. You made it look so east. One of my arms doesn’t have as much play as the other. I can lift and fold the one side just fine. The other side is more snug and drags a bit. It might be that the wall isn’t flat and comes out a shade more on that side? I can’t figure it out.
Just got mine yesterday, but I got the monster version, I feel like the monster light version looks nicer cosmetically. Only thing is my j-cups came in and they were rusted, and one of the 90 inch sticks. Had paint Chipped off worried that it will cause rust problems
Glad to hear you were able to get one. I know we are trying to order stuff from Rogue and everything is sold out. May be why quality is not perfect. I might just touch it up with some spray paint or call Rouge I dont see it being a huge issue outside of it would drive my OCD crazy.
Great video, i see that on rogue's website they recommend to hire a contractor to make sure the spotter arms and rack can hold the weight. Just curios if you've dropped any weight on the spotter arms and if so how the wall/ rack held up?
Great video! A few questions: 1. Do you think there’s space to put thin UHMW tape on the accessories where metal meets the metal of the upright? 2. Couldn’t tell by watching, but is that a rogue product holding your bar, and is it attached to the uprights, stringer or sitting on the floor? Thanks for posting the vid!
Thanks! 1. Yes and needed! Something I am doing. 2. Rogue sells a bar holder although mine is just leaning against the stringer (works pretty well until I buy or make one).
It looks like you were able to mount the stringers to 4 studs, would you say this is sufficient enough? I’ve seen some people mount to 2’x8’x8” to spread out the load. How many lbs have you loaded on the bar? I’m finally getting in my rack tomorrow after 4 weeks from order + Safety arms. Any additional reviews / insight after 1 month from install? Thanks again for your video and responses to us all!
Good to Hear! First I think the stringer works great! Although someday when I feel ambitious I believe I may remount the rack with a 2x10 or 12 that is longer than the stringer to hit even more studs. In the location I used I do not have a stud on the outside of the left top side arm. 4 is plenty but 6 might be better. So far all I have put on the rack is 225, at that weight it was extremely sturdy and no sign of movement.
I just installed this rack and it wasn't too bad thanks to your video! I installed the bottom stringer higher due to a concrete foundation at the bottom, so far so good
Also, the plastic feet in the vertical uprights have terrible fitment, I had to dremel a good portion off and hammer it in. I used the stringer cardboard box as a template, taped to my walls and drilled the holes where I needed
Fantastic video, thanks so much for taking the time. The last detail I'm struggling with (insert requisite eye roll) is to get the grey vs white uprights? Your white looks great, but if you were to do again would you opt for grey?
Thanks, I love the contrast of the white and black. actually my wife and I were saying that if we could do it again maybe we would get one of the crazy bright colors just to be different. Overall we love the white but you cant go wrong with grey either lol
@@ThatTechTeacher427 Great council! I actually agree and will go with the wite and black (easy to match to walls/ceiling) and perhaps grey bars. To your pt., I'm leaving the color to the bumper plates that way the rigs all look integrated. So appreciate your detailed tutorial as I really want to ensure I mount it correctly (as I'm a detail finatic and it would bug me forever if off :) Thanks again!!
Ryan, did you have issues installing the plastic feet into the uprights? I’m finding it very difficult as they appear to be larger than the inside of the 3x3 uprights.
Questions - I see you have your barbell hanging next to or on your rack - does it come with a barbell hanger that attaches to the rack, or is this an upgrade? Which set of spotter arms did you get? I see a couple different versions on the site, and don't know which one is the pair for this rack.
Our bar is just leaning up against the stringer. I do plan on buying or building a holder for our bars. Rogue sells wall hangers for all of their products but they are not always cheap. The spotter arms we bought are linked in the description but really you could get any ones that work with a 3x3 rack (which is pretty standard among brands).
Thank you for the great video. I'm interested in purchasing this rack but I'm concerned with the pull-up bar height. Right now I have a stud bar bolted to the ceiling that ends up being about 90 inches from the ground. I think the rack height is 91 inches. How high can you mount the bar? Thanks for your help! Peter
Great video really useful! Quick questions: What's the size of drill bit you used to pre-drill? And which size(s) of ratchets/wrenches are needed to install the rack? Thank you!
I own this rack and I’m waiting on my flooring to come in before installing. one concern I’ve had is when collapsing it... do the arms have some upward give that way they can cave-in so it can clear the floor ?
Hi Ryan thank you for the video! The folding bench hanged on the wall was also a nice idea for me. It seems like you also have a barbell secured vertically. How did you hold the barbell in there?
I'll be honest the bar is just leaning against the stringer of the rack. It fits really nice though and kinda looks like it belongs there. Someday I want to make a holder or Rogue has a wall mount that is pretty nice.
Great video Ryan! Just one quick question. What about the part of the rack which is in contact with the floor? Have you had problems with the rack getting stuck on the floor or scratching the floor? I am planning to install this Rack at my house and it worries me whether it will get stuck on the rubber flooring or not. Appreciate your comment!
Thanks! I havent had any problems yet. The bottom of the legs have a smooth plastic insert the slide pretty easy. We have hard rubber 3/4" thick stall mats as flooring so that helps as well.
Awesome video! I received my rack this week, but my flooring won't be in for a bit. Does the rack have "give" once it is installed? Meaning, can I go ahead and install it, and then slip my 8mm rubber flooring underneath the legs when it comes in?
Great video thanks. Especially liked you showing how you assembled and installed the rack. Quick question, is there enough depth in the rack for a spotter to stand in the rack to spot you for incline bench presses?
Hi! I am convinced to buy a rack like this. what DIM's Rack did you buy its very compact? Also what Height is your basement as that will give me a gage on my final decision.
Great Video! Very clear and clean. My only question is: You mentioned that for the bottom stringer, rogue recommended that it be 4 inches from the ground. In my garage, I have a 7 inch concrete border before it hits the first wood stud/dry wall. Do you know if I would be able to to still install the bottom stringer 7-8 inches from the floor? I would love to know before I purchase.
I have this same issue except with brick on the bottom ... above the brick are exposed studs so I was thinking of just putting some kind of plywood up to make a “wall” over the bricks and attaching the bottom to that ...not sure if that will work but I can’t find much info on this
Thanks! You have a few options. You can install the bottom stringer higher but it may restrict the use of some spotter ares. Also people have used wood to mount the top stringer to so it is flush with the bottom one.
I tried to scroll through the comments to see if this question was asked. Is the “foot” supposed to touch the floor or should it be floating? Is it necessary to put the “foot” in if you’re putting a mat underneath? Thanks in advance!
The foot does rest on the floor so all the weight of the rack goes into the floor not the way. There are plastic inserts on the bottom so it slides easy on concrete or rubber stall mats like we have.
Cool! The stringer looks super handy. How far apart are the bolt holes? I have an older rig and I wonder if that stringer would work, I think mine is 5 or 5.5" apart. Thanks in advance!
I know it's been a while since posted but one main question is how do the spotter arms hold up on the outside? Do you note any pulling from the wall if the spotter arms are outside with weight loaded?
At any time do you feel limited by the 21.5” depth vs 41” option? Did you consider their full 4 post foldable rack? I’m wondering how much you give up functionality/flexibility wise with the collapsible 2 post vs 4 post.
Depth only matters if you lift in a rack. Foldable racks you lift outside. If you kip then 21 might be close otherwise it is the same as any deeper rack except it will fold easier.
Great video, very informative. I am thinking of using a 2X10 -8 foot lumber on the wall as a stringer and then installing the rogue string on that lumber. Doing this because of extra support from the lumber, also it will not ruin the stud. Any thoughts on this setup?
Using just the stringer from Rogue works great. I am thinking about doing exactly what you are talking about in the future. My ideas: make each board a little over 64" long so you can reach 5 studs in the wall, also use a 2X12 because I believe each stringer is around 10" tall.
First let me say..Great video! I’m having an issue with the “unbalance” on my setup. The left side drags,while the right side swings pretty freely. My install is in my garage that has a 2-3 inch lip and the bottom bracket is closer to 11”. Could that be an issue, I can’t seem to get a correct answer after sending several pictures to Rogue?
That's gonna be really difficult to answer in youtube comments. What I can say is that you don't want that imbalance because you want the force of a dropped weight to distribute evenly through the uprights into the floor. If it's unbalanced, that'll put uneven stress on your walls. This is the sort of question best answered by a professional in person. I'd consider having a contractor come out and take a look to make sure everything is safe and you aren't compromising the stability of your walls
Hi Ryan. Thanks for the video. Is there a little “give” in the distance between uprights and floor to help open close? Ie do you lift it up slightly and then open / shut? Thanks again. You nailed it!
Great video thinking about getting this piece as the first piece for my garage gym. How tall are your ceilings? How many inches did you have to bring that too stringef down?
Thanks for the video. I just received this model and although I'm extremely handy and competent with mechanical and technical assemblies and builds, it was nice to see the entire process by an actual customer. One question I have is how and what is your Olympic bar hanging on? You didn't mention any accessory for that and it looks like you have it right on the rack somehow. I know they sell single and multi-bar mounts but it doesn't look like that's what you have there.
Glad I could help I was in your same position! Our bar in the video is just leaning against the arm bracket on the stringer. I do plan to make a bar holder or buy one from Rogue in the future.
@@ThatTechTeacher427 Thank you. I appreciate your reply and the additional info. I'm not cheap by any means but an inexpensive alternative to Rogue's bar holder could be a sturdy forked bike or equipment hook from Home Depot/Lowes, etc. There are numerous ones with thick foam or rubberized padding to prevent bar scuffs. The one nice thing about Rogue's is they have a 3 bar holder that attaches directly to the side member of the rack so you wouldn't have to wall mount it.
@@squatch570 Did everything arrive with your order? I just received mine as well, but without the plastic floor caps or detent pins. The build quality is amazing, I know they're swamped but I'm a bit disappointed it wasn't checked to make sure all the parts were there.
Great video. Mine just arrived today and I'm unboxing now. Any idea if I'm able to mount the bottom stringer higher then the recommended 4'? My garage has 4' of concrete as part of the houses foundation before I reach the drywall/studs. I need to keep it all in the drywall to keep the rig an equal distance on top and bottom. Curious if you've got any thoughts. Thank you
Great video. On the Rogue website I see they have options for different depths. I believe the choices are 9’’, 21.5”, and 41.5”. Which one did you select, and does it provide enough space from the wall to do an inclined bench press?
This is a great video! Way better than the official video they put up on their site. Question: My stringers are missing the nut, bolt and locking washer. Just curious what size they are? I need to purchase new ones from Home Depot. Thanks again!
Thanks I appreciate it! I have had this question now more than once so I just decided to take on out of the wall lol. They have a 9/16" head, 2.5" long and shank diameter of around 5/16".
That is a good question. The 21.5 that we have will fold in on its self so it does not take up additional wall space. The other thing I would think about is how much rook you need to workout. Is 21.5" or 41.5 better for your workouts or space you have. Hope that helps.
Do you think it is possible to remove the "joint pieces" from the stringers while the stringer is still attached to the wall? I would like to be able to move the rack outside in the summer.
Awesome video man! Does the dip bar get in the way when loading weights or squatting? I would imagine you take the dip bar off when doing those types of lifts.
That Tech Teacher thank you!!! My rack arrives this week I can’t wait. This is the most informative video I’ve found on the internet in regards to this set up. How tall is your ceiling?

Thank you so much for this demonstration video. I fiinally received my RML-3WC folding rack today and this definitely made the process easier. I wish Rogue had bothered to make an informative and easy to understand tutorial/setup video.
Glad it helped! What you said is why I made the video.
When did you order it? I’ve been trying to get one for a few weeks!!
Thank you for this video! We just received our wall mount today and I didn’t see how I was going to be able to do it in the same order of steps provided in the instructions. The way you did it was very helpful!
Glad I could help and thanks for letting me know! Enjoy your rack!
Great video! Thank you!
One question: when extending and folding the arms, do they "drag" on the floor, or can you lift them up a bit? I have a very nice wooden floor I want to protect where I want to mount the rack, and I need some spare room between the floor and the arms to slide under a mat when I get ready to train.
Thanks!
Mine do drag or slide on the floor when we fold and unfold it. Although I just tried to lift the legs and they do slide up so it looks like you could lift them up every time you needed to. This may not be the most fun but does look doable. The bottom of the legs have plastic feet so maybe putting felt or something on the bottom would help as well.
Florian Arnusch tech support says the arms have enough play in them so that they don’t have to drag when being folded in. I was worried about that also.
I just installed mine last night. Legs can be lifted up when moving in and out with no dragging. Great Product.!
Thank you, I’ve been wondering this for a long time!
@@shonubi How high can you lift each post side when folding the rack in? I have a 1” raised edge around my garage floor. With 3/4 mats down I still have a 1/4” to clear when fully closing the rack. I can’t find anywhere the height or play the brackets have when one lifts the posts when closing. I appreciate the help.
You saved my Life with this very detailed install. So Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Best/easiest vid to follow ...I searched and searched. Thanks for taking the time . 💪🏽
Glad it helped!
Thanks for sharing the details. This is great.
Also, you have pointed out the important concept of the folding rack that the wall does not really take weight loads, it was the 3"x3" tube that takes the vertical load transfer to the floor below when you drop the barbell. Now it all makes sence.

Rogue is awesome!
Excellent video. Our rig arrived with very limited instructions for the stringers, but not the rig assembly. This video saved us!
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the stringer installation tips, especially the temporary screws! That helped a ton. Setup was much easier after that.
Glad it helped
So before measuring for the mandated distance between the floor and the bottom stringer, I should put in place any gym flooring first, and measure the distance between THAT flooring and the stringer, correct? I purchased their Rogue rubber tile mats (1.5" thick) so I assume I should measure the distance between that tile and the bottom stringer, NOT my actual home floor, is this right? Thanks for the vid. It will help a lot.
yes correct. If you are looking for review of this squat rack can be found th-cam.com/video/RoAcYJsetuk/w-d-xo.html and in comments, you will find link for installation video which will answer all questions related to hardware and installation steps. Thanks!
Best video on TH-cam for this rack. Which type of wall did you have? If I understand correctly, Rogue only deliver wall mounting screws for wood. But in central EU concrete is the common construction material.
Install heavy stuff on a concrete wall is not so easy. You need heavy duty metal anker, mortar to fix the anker in the wall and a powerfull hammer drill to screw a 20mm hole in the wall. But this mounting is overbuild like Rogue products 😂
Ryan this video is great! I got buff on this setup! Now all the ladies love me!!!!!
Thanks I appreciate it! Good to hear!
Great video! How high is your ceiling? My ceiling is about 95 inches (the vertical bar is supposed to be ~91 inches). Just want to make sure I have enough clearance before purchasing. Thanks!
Any man with not just one, but TWO goldens, I can trust 🤙
Great DIY Install/Review video. I notice you went with the 21.5" depth...in your opinion, does that leave enough room for an incline bench? Or should I opt for the 41.5"? Thanks!
We have not had problems with benching, incline or decline. Kips or some pull up moves could be a problem.
@@ThatTechTeacher427 how come Kips or some pull up moves could be a problem?
Great video...Can the stringer go above a molding at the base of the floor?
Best video on TH-cam on how to install. 🎉
Quality review, very well done. I don't need to see any other video besides this one. 🤜🤛
Hey, great video! I hope you can respond to this question that I have. How and what is your barbell being stored upright in this video? It is right next to the rack. Thanks
First of all, thank you so much for creating an amazing tutorial. I've just got my Rogue Rack today and excited to build it. However, this is my first time tackling something like this and the tools I have already is a power drill, level, stud finder and I'm honestly not too sure what else I need. When I saw you install the stringer to the wall, which screws and washer did you purchase because I didn't realize it didn't come with those. Thank you again and hope to hear from you soon!
Thank you!
I used:
Ratchet with socket, open end wrench, or adjustable wrench,
3/4" or 19mm,
9/16" or 14mm,
15/16" or 24mm,
15/64" drill bit and drill,
Tape measure,
and a level.
I ordered mine with the stringer to attach it to the wall and it came with the 16 lag bolts and washers needed. If you did not get the stringer you will need to get a piece of lumber to mount it to the wall on the top and bottom. Then I would use lag bolts that are at least 3.5" long. Hope this helps.
@@ThatTechTeacher427 Wow! Thank you for this quick response. Yes, I'm on an email thread with customer service and mentioned this comment and video.
Question: Are the bottom of the posts always in contact with the ground? i.e. when opening and closing are they just constantly being dragged along the floor in that 1/4 circle arc? I saw you installed on top of a gym floor mat. I am wondering if I should get that or just stick with my regular garage concrete floor. Also, what material is on the bottom of the posts? Is it metal, plastic, rubber, or some other sort of composite dragging along the ground upon setup/break down? Thanks & great video.
I'm getting ready to install mine and LOVE your video!! So helpful! Thank you!!
I had the same question on how this would work on the slope of the driveway floor as many. I saw where you pointed out how it swings out and the range w/in the swing joint. I also love your suggestion on using the 3/4" stall mat - good to know before I put up the Stringers.
Thank you!
Glad to hear and thanks! Ya I might find the slope of you floor and use the distance that it drops to mount the stringers that much lower than the suggested measurements. We love our stall mats!
@@ThatTechTeacher427 This might be a silly question but how do I determine the slope of my garage floor. I would assume it probably slopes a touch due to drainage. Just a long level like you used in the video?
@@Nflforever2 Exactly. I would put one side of the level against the wall and the other where the leg will touch the floor. Lift the level on the low side until the bubble is in the middle and measure the distance between the floor and the level where the leg will touch the floor (either 21.5" or 41" away from the wall). That measurement will be how much lower you mount the stringer than the #s in the directions.
Thanks for making this! Waiting for mine to arrive, and this helps me figure out what I need to do.
Good to hear that's awesome!
Thanks for your vid, it's really helpful. I'm still struggling to decide if I should go for the RML-3W or the R-3W as I'm worried the RML-3W might be too bulky for my small home gym. What's your opinion on that, seems like your room isn't too big either. Thank you.
Amazing video. Thank you so much. Just a few questions though, how high are your ceilings? Also, how tall are you and can you do pull-ups comfortably. (Sorry if this is too personal, I'm just trying to compare. Lol.)
Thanks! The ceiling in my basement is roughly 93.5" from concrete to joist. We have rubber stall mats on the floor and there are copper pipes above where the rack is installed so the usable height is 92.25". I installed the top arms 1 hole lower so the pull up bar could be a little lower. We have 12.5" between the the pull up bar and the joists and it works fine for us.
@@ThatTechTeacher427 Nice, thanks so much for the quick reply. Have a great night. Stay safe during these times.
@@ThatTechTeacher427 Hi from the UK. I'm thinking of getting this also, further to BennyWinz's question, have you tried a muscle-up on the bar? Wondering if there would be enough head room above the bar for this? Cheers
@@mali1067 In my basement no way! lol I only have enough room to get my head above the bar. Although in an area with higher ceilings like a garage this rack is sturdy enough to do them.
That Tech Teacher Cool, that’s good enough for me :-) as looking at a garage install. Great vid btw and 👍 for fast reply.
Great video. Just the right amount of detail. Installing our rack today and you made my life MUCH easier. Thanks!
Thanks ,I really appreciate it! Glad to hear it helped!
Enjoy the rack!
When you fold the vertical supports, is there a bit of vertical slop so that you can lift the bottom off the ground? Or does it inevitably drag across the ground? Thanks for the video!
Was wondering the same thing!
@@WorldDroneTours
I just put up my own rack! It doesn't drag. There's like an inch of slop, so you can pull it up off the ground
@@ericacopenhaver thanks! Any idea if I could retroactively add a floor Mat or if I have to do that before?
@@WorldDroneTours you could add one retroactively but I would recommend putting the mat down first if you can to get your measurements proper. Because you'll need to mount the stringers at the right height in order to take full advantage of that slop. Alternatively you could mount the stringers higher by the thickness of your mats to anticipate their arrival. If it's a half inch or less that would work
Awesome video. Can you share a list of the tools you needed that didn’t come with the rack?
Thanks! Good Question, I used:
Ratchet with socket, open end wrench, or adjustable wrench,
3/4" or 19mm,
9/16" or 14mm,
15/16" or 24mm,
15/64" drill bit and drill,
Tape measure,
and a level.
Great video. Question: What is the measurement from the floor to the bottom and top stringer ? My rack is on the way, but I cant find the install instructions online, and I need to prep an aluminum-stud wall. Thanks for the video.

10/10 perfect tutorial Ryan, easy to follow and fun to watch. Not sure I would add the house music you chose to my lifting playlist anytime soon but a great video anyway. Looking forward to seeing you get big like Link
Thanks I appreciate it!
@@ThatTechTeacher427 post a new video
@@nickistenes6355 This weekend
This video was super helpful! I’ve been looking at this rig and think I’m going to take the plunge for my new space. Plus, as a golden owner myself, I thoroughly enjoyed the dog cameos. 👌🏽
this is a great video..i am putting up mine tomorrow and i wanted to see how its done. Thanks so much!
Thanks I appreciate it. Hope it goes well.
How did you know the exact height to put both of the stringers? I know you dry fitted but the stringer takes up area outside the connecting posts.
I have a rack on the way and i might have to change the height on the stringers sonany help is appreciated. This is a great video
Thanks for the great video! How is it doing pull-ups with it so close to ceiling? I have similar height setup. Also for toes-to-bar/kipping pull-ups does the 21 feel crammed/too small?
Thank I appreciate it!
Pull ups are not an issue we have 12.5" above the pull up bar which is enough for our heads.
The 21" arms are ok for standard pull ups and chin ups. Due to our ceiling heights we are unable to try any swinging moves or get on top of the bar. If we had higher ceilings I think you could still do those moves.
Nice video, very well explained. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights. Hope you enjoy your workout
Thanks you too
Great job with the installation.
I have a few questions.
1. Did you drill into brick, plaster or plaster board?
2. Did you not need to use raw plugs for the bolts?
3. Was your floor perfectly level?
4. What is the clearance between the uprights and the floor?
Thanks in anticipation of your reply,
John
Thanks!
1. Wood 2x4s
2.No the stringer came with lag screws that went into my wood studs.
3.foor was pretty level so nothing crazy there but you can adjust the height of the stringers to help with uneven floors.
4.the vertical uprights rest on the floor.
Thanks for this video really helpful!
One question: can I mount this rack in any wall on my house of there are some restrictions?
great video, just wanted to get an idea of how it folds and the set up, this was perfect!
Thanks for the great video, it really helped decide to buy. I’m installing in my garage which are cement walls which require me to substitute with tapcons. What is the length of the drill bit or screws that comes with the rack to install the stringer?
Awesome to hear!
I know its in the comments somewhere sorry I dont feel like taking the lag bolt out of the wall again
Quick question, I’m in the military and move around a lot. Do you think taking it apart and reinstalling will be an easy process with this equipment?
Taking it apart would be no problem. The most time consuming part is lining the stringer up on the wall. Overall ya it would not be bad.
That Tech Teacher awesome, thank you
for the feedback!
Same question I had
Great video! Love the idea of using screws before the bolts to test fit. Quick question: did you opt for the 9” or 21.5” version?
We just got ours delivered (for some reason not all the packages came at once). At the we ordered it, there was no option for buying the stringer. Any idea how big you think the piece of wood needs to be (as a substitute for the stringer)? I was thinking about 55 inches but I’m an amateur and would appreciate if you have some advice. Also, this is by far the best video on TH-cam for this rack. I’m super impressed at how well I followed your process. I’m looking forward to exploring some more of your projects! We also got a separate pull up bar from Rogue (P-6V) since my husband and I workout together a lot. I’m going to see if you have a video installing that by chance! 🤓🤞🏾🙏🏾 thank you so much!!!
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
For the stringer you could use a 2x10 that is at least 52" or longer (55" would work great) as that would reach 4 studs although I may go 68" or more to reach 5 studs. Then you can purchase lag bolts and washers at a local hardware store. I would say 3.5" long.
The stringer was unavailable as well for me so I’ll have to use the wood. 🙏🏼
That Tech Teacher thank you! I got 55” wood and it seems great so far! 🙏🏾
I followed the installation instructions for stringer mounting height and the feet are about a millimeter off the floor (they don’t drag at all). The instructions say the feet must be touching the floor. In hindsight I wish I had paid more attention before drilling all those lag bolt holes. My garage floor isn’t perfectly level which is likely the problem.
As others have mentioned there is plenty of vertical play at the pivot point if you need to lift the bar when swinging. I could have easily lowered my stringers a half inch or more with no issue. Maybe a pad on the floor will help.
That is true and something I wish I would have explain better in the video. You could always put down a rubber mat or sheet of plywood to raise the level of the floor.
Great vid! Thanks for posting! How tall are you? Curious if I can do pull-ups/kips/muscle ups without toes hitting the ground. I'm 5'10".
Love how you made the whole video very understandable, for someone who does not speak English that well. My question is how tall does the ceiling have to be? will 8 foot ceiling be enough? Thank you in advance.
Thanks! The vertical parts of the rack are 90" tall and can be cut down if needed.
This would be a huge help to me... could you measure what height your pull-up bar is and also could you measure the very top of where the pullup bar cups mount to the rack... it looks like you have exactly 3 holes showing above the mounts to the pullup bar... I would be curious to know what that height is. Rogue told me to cut the rack to 84inches and I am curious to see if that height is 84 inches... from the top of the pullup bar mount down
The way I have it installed where the top arm is mounted 1 hole lower, the top of the pull up bar is right around 81" and the top of the cup mount is at 83.5".
Thank you so much. So at an 88 inch ceiling height it makes perfect sense that rogue suggested cutting the rack to 84 inches. Basically mine will be set up just like yours but without the 3 holes above the pull up mounts showing. Thanks so much brother. So sorry to bother you with this. I appreciate your help from 1 teacher to another god bless!
This is such a fantastic video!! I wouldn't have gotten our squat rack mounted without the tutorial- so thank you!!
Great tutorial. You made it look so east. One of my arms doesn’t have as much play as the other. I can lift and fold the one side just fine. The other side is more snug and drags a bit. It might be that the wall isn’t flat and comes out a shade more on that side? I can’t figure it out.
You are probably correct that it is in the wall. The only other thing to check it to make sure the top and bottom stringer are parallel to each other.
I'm on the notify wait list to order this set for myself. Thanks for the video!
Awesome! With what is going on they are selling like crazy. Hope you get it soon!
Just got mine yesterday, but I got the monster version, I feel like the monster light version looks nicer cosmetically. Only thing is my j-cups came in and they were rusted, and one of the 90 inch sticks. Had paint Chipped off worried that it will cause rust problems
Glad to hear you were able to get one. I know we are trying to order stuff from Rogue and everything is sold out. May be why quality is not perfect. I might just touch it up with some spray paint or call Rouge I dont see it being a huge issue outside of it would drive my OCD crazy.
Great video, i see that on rogue's website they recommend to hire a contractor to make sure the spotter arms and rack can hold the weight. Just curios if you've dropped any weight on the spotter arms and if so how the wall/ rack held up?
I would like to know as well
welp...this solidifies my decision! Thank you my good man!!!
No problem and good to hear!
Very sturdy, thank you! This will fit my collection of rocks
Thanks for watching
Great video! A few questions: 1. Do you think there’s space to put thin UHMW tape on the accessories where metal meets the metal of the upright? 2. Couldn’t tell by watching, but is that a rogue product holding your bar, and is it attached to the uprights, stringer or sitting on the floor? Thanks for posting the vid!
Thanks!
1. Yes and needed! Something I am doing.
2. Rogue sells a bar holder although mine is just leaning against the stringer (works pretty well until I buy or make one).
That Tech Teacher thanks!
Thmx for the video I am debating to buy this rack too :) for my new flat :) Great tutorial :)
Awesome video, it helped me clarify my questions about the studs. Thanks a ton!
No problem, Thanks for watching!
It looks like you were able to mount the stringers to 4 studs, would you say this is sufficient enough? I’ve seen some people mount to 2’x8’x8” to spread out the load. How many lbs have you loaded on the bar? I’m finally getting in my rack tomorrow after 4 weeks from order + Safety arms. Any additional reviews / insight after 1 month from install? Thanks again for your video and responses to us all!
Good to Hear! First I think the stringer works great! Although someday when I feel ambitious I believe I may remount the rack with a 2x10 or 12 that is longer than the stringer to hit even more studs. In the location I used I do not have a stud on the outside of the left top side arm. 4 is plenty but 6 might be better. So far all I have put on the rack is 225, at that weight it was extremely sturdy and no sign of movement.
Thanks for the info! I read through a lot of their reviews and not too many people left comments on how much weight they've had on the rack.
I just installed this rack and it wasn't too bad thanks to your video! I installed the bottom stringer higher due to a concrete foundation at the bottom, so far so good
Also, the plastic feet in the vertical uprights have terrible fitment, I had to dremel a good portion off and hammer it in. I used the stringer cardboard box as a template, taped to my walls and drilled the holes where I needed
Fantastic video, thanks so much for taking the time. The last detail I'm struggling with (insert requisite eye roll) is to get the grey vs white uprights? Your white looks great, but if you were to do again would you opt for grey?
Thanks, I love the contrast of the white and black. actually my wife and I were saying that if we could do it again maybe we would get one of the crazy bright colors just to be different. Overall we love the white but you cant go wrong with grey either lol
@@ThatTechTeacher427 Great council! I actually agree and will go with the wite and black (easy to match to walls/ceiling) and perhaps grey bars. To your pt., I'm leaving the color to the bumper plates that way the rigs all look integrated. So appreciate your detailed tutorial as I really want to ensure I mount it correctly (as I'm a detail finatic and it would bug me forever if off :) Thanks again!!
Ryan, did you have issues installing the plastic feet into the uprights? I’m finding it very difficult as they appear to be larger than the inside of the 3x3 uprights.
Hey I am having the same problem… just put everything up tonight and the feet are by far the hardest part! we’re you ever able to get them installed?
Great video! I was deciding between Rogue or Ethos wall rack. U just help me make my decision. Nice gym setups
Thanks! Rogue is Awesome!
Great video, companies should pay you to do all their instructionals.
Great video! Pretty much followed your installation steps to the tee. Thank you!
Glad it helped.
Questions - I see you have your barbell hanging next to or on your rack - does it come with a barbell hanger that attaches to the rack, or is this an upgrade? Which set of spotter arms did you get? I see a couple different versions on the site, and don't know which one is the pair for this rack.
Our bar is just leaning up against the stringer. I do plan on buying or building a holder for our bars. Rogue sells wall hangers for all of their products but they are not always cheap. The spotter arms we bought are linked in the description but really you could get any ones that work with a 3x3 rack (which is pretty standard among brands).
Thank you for the great video. I'm interested in purchasing this rack but I'm concerned with the pull-up bar height. Right now I have a stud bar bolted to the ceiling that ends up being about 90 inches from the ground. I think the rack height is 91 inches. How high can you mount the bar?
Thanks for your help! Peter
Thanks for the excellent, well done video. I have a question. Where did you get the flooring/pads that you put the rack on? Looked very nice.
Thank you for this video! When I got my rack I knew exactly what to do to get it together 👍🍻
Glad it helped!
Great video really useful! Quick questions: What's the size of drill bit you used to pre-drill? And which size(s) of ratchets/wrenches are needed to install the rack? Thank you!
Your video helped tremendously in installing the rig
Glad it helped.
I own this rack and I’m waiting on my flooring to come in before installing. one concern I’ve had is when collapsing it... do the arms have some upward give that way they can cave-in so it can clear the floor ?
Hi Ryan thank you for the video! The folding bench hanged on the wall was also a nice idea for me. It seems like you also have a barbell secured vertically. How did you hold the barbell in there?
I'll be honest the bar is just leaning against the stringer of the rack. It fits really nice though and kinda looks like it belongs there. Someday I want to make a holder or Rogue has a wall mount that is pretty nice.
Great video Ryan! Just one quick question. What about the part of the rack which is in contact with the floor? Have you had problems with the rack getting stuck on the floor or scratching the floor?
I am planning to install this Rack at my house and it worries me whether it will get stuck on the rubber flooring or not. Appreciate your comment!
Thanks!
I havent had any problems yet. The bottom of the legs have a smooth plastic insert the slide pretty easy. We have hard rubber 3/4" thick stall mats as flooring so that helps as well.
@@ThatTechTeacher427 Thanks for the info and once again, great video!
This is a great information vid! Just got my rack in today and can't wait to put it together
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video! I received my rack this week, but my flooring won't be in for a bit. Does the rack have "give" once it is installed? Meaning, can I go ahead and install it, and then slip my 8mm rubber flooring underneath the legs when it comes in?
Yes it does! The legs will slide up in the bracket you attach to the wall.
Great video thanks. Especially liked you showing how you assembled and installed the rack. Quick question, is there enough depth in the rack for a spotter to stand in the rack to spot you for incline bench presses?
Thanks. My wife and I dont have a problem with spotting
Hi! I am convinced to buy a rack like this. what DIM's Rack did you buy its very compact? Also what Height is your basement as that will give me a gage on my final decision.
Great Video! Very clear and clean. My only question is: You mentioned that for the bottom stringer, rogue recommended that it be 4 inches from the ground. In my garage, I have a 7 inch concrete border before it hits the first wood stud/dry wall. Do you know if I would be able to to still install the bottom stringer 7-8 inches from the floor? I would love to know before I purchase.
I have this same issue except with brick on the bottom ... above the brick are exposed studs so I was thinking of just putting some kind of plywood up to make a “wall” over the bricks and attaching the bottom to that ...not sure if that will work but I can’t find much info on this
Thanks!
You have a few options. You can install the bottom stringer higher but it may restrict the use of some spotter ares. Also people have used wood to mount the top stringer to so it is flush with the bottom one.
@@ThatTechTeacher427 thank you so much!
I tried to scroll through the comments to see if this question was asked. Is the “foot” supposed to touch the floor or should it be floating? Is it necessary to put the “foot” in if you’re putting a mat underneath? Thanks in advance!
The foot does rest on the floor so all the weight of the rack goes into the floor not the way. There are plastic inserts on the bottom so it slides easy on concrete or rubber stall mats like we have.
Yet again another spectacular video!! Keep up the great work :)
Thanks again!
Thank you! Just what I’ve been looking for
Cool! The stringer looks super handy. How far apart are the bolt holes? I have an older rig and I wonder if that stringer would work, I think mine is 5 or 5.5" apart. Thanks in advance!
I know it's been a while since posted but one main question is how do the spotter arms hold up on the outside? Do you note any pulling from the wall if the spotter arms are outside with weight loaded?
Great Video. Thanks!. I have a question: Where do you buy those mats?. Thanks!
At any time do you feel limited by the 21.5” depth vs 41” option? Did you consider their full 4 post foldable rack? I’m wondering how much you give up functionality/flexibility wise with the collapsible 2 post vs 4 post.
Depth only matters if you lift in a rack. Foldable racks you lift outside. If you kip then 21 might be close otherwise it is the same as any deeper rack except it will fold easier.
Great video, very informative. I am thinking of using a 2X10 -8 foot lumber on the wall as a stringer and then installing the rogue string on that lumber. Doing this because of extra support from the lumber, also it will not ruin the stud. Any thoughts on this setup?
Using just the stringer from Rogue works great. I am thinking about doing exactly what you are talking about in the future. My ideas: make each board a little over 64" long so you can reach 5 studs in the wall, also use a 2X12 because I believe each stringer is around 10" tall.
First let me say..Great video! I’m having an issue with the “unbalance” on my setup. The left side drags,while the right side swings pretty freely. My install is in my garage that has a 2-3 inch lip and the bottom bracket is closer to 11”. Could that be an issue, I can’t seem to get a correct answer after sending several pictures to Rogue?
That's gonna be really difficult to answer in youtube comments. What I can say is that you don't want that imbalance because you want the force of a dropped weight to distribute evenly through the uprights into the floor. If it's unbalanced, that'll put uneven stress on your walls. This is the sort of question best answered by a professional in person. I'd consider having a contractor come out and take a look to make sure everything is safe and you aren't compromising the stability of your walls
Hi Ryan. Thanks for the video. Is there a little “give” in the distance between uprights and floor to help open close? Ie do you lift it up slightly and then open / shut? Thanks again. You nailed it!
There is some play. You can lift the legs up but you dont need to they slide pretty easy.
That Tech Teacher cheers pal, she’s up. One problem.. I’m 6’4. I’d say too small height for the chin up bar but I’ll find a way round..
Hello thanks for the video. What are the the dimensions you used for the stringer on top. I’ve been having a hard time installing my stringers
Great video thinking about getting this piece as the first piece for my garage gym. How tall are your ceilings? How many inches did you have to bring that too stringef down?
I want to know the same thing
Thanks for the video. I just received this model and although I'm extremely handy and competent with mechanical and technical assemblies and builds, it was nice to see the entire process by an actual customer. One question I have is how and what is your Olympic bar hanging on? You didn't mention any accessory for that and it looks like you have it right on the rack somehow. I know they sell single and multi-bar mounts but it doesn't look like that's what you have there.
Glad I could help I was in your same position! Our bar in the video is just leaning against the arm bracket on the stringer. I do plan to make a bar holder or buy one from Rogue in the future.
@@ThatTechTeacher427 Thank you. I appreciate your reply and the additional info. I'm not cheap by any means but an inexpensive alternative to Rogue's bar holder could be a sturdy forked bike or equipment hook from Home Depot/Lowes, etc. There are numerous ones with thick foam or rubberized padding to prevent bar scuffs. The one nice thing about Rogue's is they have a 3 bar holder that attaches directly to the side member of the rack so you wouldn't have to wall mount it.
@@squatch570 I see exactly where you are coming from those would work just as good.
@@squatch570 Did everything arrive with your order? I just received mine as well, but without the plastic floor caps or detent pins. The build quality is amazing, I know they're swamped but I'm a bit disappointed it wasn't checked to make sure all the parts were there.
@@ThatTechTeacher427 Thanks! Let me know which way you go with that.
Great video. Mine just arrived today and I'm unboxing now. Any idea if I'm able to mount the bottom stringer higher then the recommended 4'? My garage has 4' of concrete as part of the houses foundation before I reach the drywall/studs. I need to keep it all in the drywall to keep the rig an equal distance on top and bottom. Curious if you've got any thoughts. Thank you
Yes you can it will just limit the attachments you can put on the rack like spotter arms that come down lower.
Great video. On the Rogue website I see they have options for different depths. I believe the choices are 9’’, 21.5”, and 41.5”. Which one did you select, and does it provide enough space from the wall to do an inclined bench press?
Does someone know this point??
Great video thanks for posting- did you buy the 23 inch or the 40 inch folding arms?
This is a great video! Way better than the official video they put up on their site. Question: My stringers are missing the nut, bolt and locking washer. Just curious what size they are? I need to purchase new ones from Home Depot. Thanks again!
Thanks I appreciate it!
I have had this question now more than once so I just decided to take on out of the wall lol. They have a 9/16" head, 2.5" long and shank diameter of around 5/16".
Awesome video! Thanks! What depth is your folding rack? 21.5" or 41.5"?
Thanks! We went with the 21.5". Plenty of room for us and we dont feel too close to the wall.
Came for the squat rack, stayed for the dogs
😂
@@ThatTechTeacher427 Love how the golden comes in the garage with a toy
Great video. What measurements should I take in my gym to determine which sz folding rack I should get ?
Thanks
That is a good question. The 21.5 that we have will fold in on its self so it does not take up additional wall space. The other thing I would think about is how much rook you need to workout. Is 21.5" or 41.5 better for your workouts or space you have. Hope that helps.
Do you think it is possible to remove the "joint pieces" from the stringers while the stringer is still attached to the wall? I would like to be able to move the rack outside in the summer.
Awesome video man! Does the dip bar get in the way when loading weights or squatting? I would imagine you take the dip bar off when doing those types of lifts.
Thanks! Ya you have to remove the dip bar to squat or bench but it is one pin and it super easy.
That Tech Teacher thank you!!! My rack arrives this week I can’t wait. This is the most informative video I’ve found on the internet in regards to this set up. How tall is your ceiling?
Great video. What size on the rack did you guys get? There was an option for a 21 and 40.
Thanks this is the 21.5" and we love it.
Thanks. Love your channel btw.
