Do you think it would fit an XL REI sleeping pad inside the rack? Because that’s where my Wife would make me sleep if I even thought about doing this? 😂🤣
If I wasn't married I'd definitely be happy living in a garage with just my tools and squat rack. I'd be retired by now and just train every day. The rest of the house is for the women, just give me a nice garage space and a Coop Squat and I'd be set for life
I’m a wife and the handy one in the family so I’m planning out, purchasing, assembling and installing everything for our home gym. Love seeing these vids as they are great source of inspo and info. Plus Coop you are a very silly dude and I love it. Now I have to find space for a Handheld Dynamic Weight Storage Rack..
Love to see it! Crazy build, thought out, loads of storage! The Supercar of racks. But what would you do for the 'honda civic' of rack/functional trainers. Would love to see a small space high quality custom rack like this. Maybe 16" 4 post with wall mounted to save on that 6th post but still provide stability over floor supported half racks, having a lat pull/functional trainer attachment would be key, Would you go with stacks vs plate loaded. Maybe safety arms for space saving when not needed vs having a full in rack safety. Would be interesting to see what you would come up with!
Sweet! I made a similar style rack and it's funny, I've used a lot of the same attachments (adjustable pullup handles so I could also mount the UPS, bench prop, etc). I removed the rhino handles and placed the bench prop crossmember in their place so I can use the Mutant Metals handles for weighted dips. I didn't think to place the rhino/jammer handles overhead for weighted pullups though, I will try that out. Some other attachments that are useful with the rhino rack: hip thrust bench, the new monster roller pad, squat wedges, front squat harness, Ironmaster super bench pro (it can slide under the platform), leg rollers, and utility bench.
I’ve just started out my garage gym pursuit and bought a bells of steel power rack, I feel trapped with the limitations of a 2.3x2.3 rack with 5/8 holes after witnessing this video and now want a more open platform like this! The UK is so far behind the US and we have to import rogue from Europe which sucks as the second hand market is next to non-existent. Maybe it’s best I don’t as I’ll get divorced.
Glad you got the surplus strength pulley! Super good idea with attaching it to the rhino, I’d love to see a video of you getting creative and creating options with the surplus strength unit.
If I could only choose between 'closed environment' or 'open source', I'd go with the latter. Buying a single decent rack and being able to add almost anything from almost any company, is a huge benefit that to anyone but the truly professional outweighs the extra attention of detail and more tailormade fit. At the end of the day it's all gym equipment; meant to be rugged and rarely requiring 'closed system' like setups in order to function. Great work!
Most times people say they have a "home gym" they mean a Squat stand and a flat bench in the corner of a dark wooden shed. When This guy says home gym, he means it, holy mother of God that's insane.
Awesome setup Coop! I specifically emailed rogue about being able to attach the bench prop attachment to the rhino. They said that they were incompatible. It would’ve been the icing on the cake to go with the RM-6/monster bench. Instead I opted to go with the Froning RML-4/RML comp bench to save some coin. Hopefully one day they will come out with a RML rhino.
I bought a stand alone Rhino and I was able to drop it right into a RML-690. The Rhino platform has 1” and 5/8” holes pre drilled, which means you can attach the platform to a ML rack without any modifications. Of course Rogue doesn’t tell you that, and even when I called them to ask if it would fit before buying they said they would not recommend it because they had not tested it on a ML rack. The only downside is that the unit only comes with 1” bolts so you’re gonna have to buy your own 5/8” hardware from Home Depot. I also called Rogue regarding their bench centering bracket and they told me they only sell it as a complete unit which comes with the cross member.
Hey Coop, do you think you can do a video on how someone who works out in a garage gym can find a coach? There’s no info around as to how to go about it and what resources you can trust. That would be value-added for sure. Thanks for considering.
Would love to see a video of you loading / unloading weight on the rhino - does not look like it would be quick / efficient to get 45lb plates in and out....
Hi Coop! Can you tell me the make of the steel plate ball target that you have attached to the rack? I am looking for exactly that for my rack. Thank you.
Your videos have been a huge help in my first rack purchase decision. Thank you. PR-5000 VS ROGUE Monster. Now trying to decide which Rogue Monster version i want. There are a few options. RM-3 2.0 , RM-6 2.0, RM-4 2.0, Im lost and ready to order. They all three look the same to me.
Hey Coop, does the Vendetta increase the length of the jammer arms? Would you still be able to use the vendatta arms on a rogue short lever arm configuration inside the rack?
Amazing Coop! Shows what can be achieved with some creativity. If ever you want to send your old Kensui EZ vest to a new loving home, will be more than willing to show it love 😊 Loving the content 🇬🇧
I see the amount of plates you have. I've watched your videos about the different types of plates available. I'm looking for plates, but i don't know how many of each to get to be optimal. Can you please do a video "Optimal plate kit for beginner, intermediate, advanced".
Where’d you get those dip horns? I know you mentioned in the previous 1.0 coop squat you were going to get a custom set made I think from black widow. Since then they have a pair on their website. Are those the ones you’re using in this video, could the ones they have on their site work just as well either way?
So basically - I need to sell all my monster lite beams and crossmembers lol I think you’re right coop- I didn’t know you could get so much out of the rogue rhino
nerd advice for Sam: collect all the weight and put them into an excel sheet. 1) this means the next time coop ask you to calculate something, you already have most of the data in it. 2) if you mess up in the calculations, you won't have to reenter everything 2, 3, or 17 times.
Been looking all over to see if the rhino attachment is a huge hinderance on doing incline benches. What are the negatives to attaching the rhino? Looking at the rm-6 rhino combo. 😊
New Vid idea: Comparison of the All-In-One set ups - You've got prime, force, you mentioned REP is coming out with one, heck compare it to the COOP set up... how do they compare to the functionality, cost, and quality? Give it to me COOP!
So it looks like this is 4 Titan extension kits, 8 43 inch rogue top cross member items and rogue rhino stand alone? With 4 bottom cross members? I cant seem to find the bottom cross members on rogue's site though.
Do you like the 24" spacing for your rhino drop in or do you feel 30-36" would give you more flexible options for additional set ups, bench arrangements etc? Going from a 4 post to 6 post setup and curious with the functionality you've experienced.

Definitely lots of hammock attachments 🤣
@@ka3274 This 100%
Job's open... although we usually don't have much headroom for new employees.
Headroom can be increased by moving out of the basement
@@bmstylee Lol it could be Foyer Brandon or Master Bedroom Brandon!
@@bmstylee that was the joke 🙃
Hahahahhaha
Dig down
I don’t think it would hurt to have Sam start over and double check everything.
I agree, he was texting.
he was filling out an application to work for REP Fitness

You could put some drywall around all those rails and run some electrical, plumbing and rent it out as a 1 bed 1 bath tiny house.

For the sake of future moving guys, I hope this is your forever home gym Coop 😂
Good luck, coop buys a new house every 18 months or whenever Rep comes out with a new rack model
I’ve just started out my garage gym pursuit and bought a bells of steel power rack, I feel trapped with the limitations of a 2.3x2.3 rack with 5/8 holes after witnessing this video and now want a more open platform like this!
The UK is so far behind the US and we have to import rogue from Europe which sucks as the second hand market is next to non-existent.
Maybe it’s best I don’t as I’ll get divorced.
This is the best garage gym channel. Swole Jole approves.
By 2025 Coop's entire house will be a squat rack
And Sam will be jackedy jacked.
😂
Coop is my hero....almost makes me want to drive through Springfield.
You demonstrated what the rhino can do so well and I wish I had the space for it. Seems like a great way to add some variety in a convenient way.
awesome home gym, Coop! your gym has come a long way since 2020. the walls, lighting and racks give it an awesome touch.
Glad you got the surplus strength pulley! Super good idea with attaching it to the rhino, I’d love to see a video of you getting creative and creating options with the surplus strength unit.
Great video! Do we have an ETA on the functional trainer comparison video? Excited to hear your thoughts on the different options
Open source is so awesome, Coop can custom-engineer a square, and call it a box!
Coop and Sam are THE duo!
If I could only choose between 'closed environment' or 'open source', I'd go with the latter.
Buying a single decent rack and being able to add almost anything from almost any company, is a huge benefit that to anyone but the truly professional outweighs the extra attention of detail and more tailormade fit.

Great work!
That is amazing!! Total respect for your passion!
Most times people say they have a "home gym" they mean a Squat stand and a flat bench in the corner of a dark wooden shed. When This guy says home gym, he means it, holy mother of God that's insane.
That...looks...AWESOME 🔥🔥
Time to do it again at all 3 price points. Have fun Sam 🥳
This is amazing and I love the idea. Great job Coop!
Bwuajajaja “did you get the bolts?” Then the x files music ah man too funny
This guy sure loves pull-ups
2:21 now I know what to count at night so I can fall asleep 👍🏼
Love how you maximized the use of the rhino
I love that 3 change plate attachment
Same. Simple, but well done!
Garage Gym Reviews has jumped the shark.
Screw the Monster Cave, this is the Coop Cave!
Sam killed me with the Basement Brandon comment!
Assambly Sam threatening to take a job with BasementBrandon 🤣🔥
Hey guys this is COOP!
Sorry, I didn't catch the name or brand of those dip bars you are using?
It would be cool to make a series called pimp my garage gym
Love it. It’s beyond overkill.
Love open source system theory. Followed your lead and did the same.
I made the original coop squat with slinger and rogue crown pull up bar on the front. Love it
Thank God you're putting that Titan plyo box jump machine to use
make a “budget” version build video PLEASE with cherries and knurling on top PRETTY PLEASE
After all the issues you had with the Rogue pull up handles... surprised you did not go Prime RO-T8 with 1" spacers.
I like the RO-T8 Handles, but I prefer having the round handle most of the time tbh.
What a beast of a rack.
Nice Arc'teryx, my guy!
Need to get a build list/guide for the og rack and this one 🤣
Cool DIY plate dividers
We love Sam!
Awesome setup Coop! I specifically emailed rogue about being able to attach the bench prop attachment to the rhino. They said that they were incompatible.

Surplus Strength and some of their customers have said you can build a Rhino into a Monster Lite - probably the RML-690.
I bought a stand alone Rhino and I was able to drop it right into a RML-690. The Rhino platform has 1” and 5/8” holes pre drilled, which means you can attach the platform to a ML rack without any modifications.

So nice!!
All of this… and he doesnt even look like he works out 😂
What’s the slam ball plate on the side of the rack? I’ve been looking for a good one and don’t wanna destroy my walls thx
Seconded, what is that thing?!
Step up plate from stray dog strength
Hey Coop, do you think you can do a video on how someone who works out in a garage gym can find a coach? There’s no info around as to how to go about it and what resources you can trust. That would be value-added for sure. Thanks for considering.

I don't think I saw a single comment supporting a closed system...
Cause open source is the best!
what is that dip attachment you are using? Looks perfect
I'm looking forward to seeing Sam make a cameo appearance with Brandon in the basement
Hi Coop! Can you tell me the make of the steel plate ball target that you have attached to the rack? I am looking for exactly that for my rack. Thank you.
This guys Mustache becomes more epic every video
You should contact Guinness book of world records and build the heaviest squat rack. That would be cool!
Video idea: Dumbbells vs Kettlebells vs Fatbells?
Your videos have been a huge help in my first rack purchase decision. Thank you. PR-5000 VS ROGUE Monster. Now trying to decide which Rogue Monster version i want. There are a few options. RM-3 2.0 , RM-6 2.0, RM-4 2.0, Im lost and ready to order. They all three look the same to me.

Sam the man 😎
This is just really expensive legos for adults. I love this hobby!
💰🔥💰BOOM‼️‼️
The $1 million Dollar Option!!
It looks like Coop made his own DIY Rogue "cave" type deal.
Amazing Coop! Shows what can be achieved with some creativity. If ever you want to send your old Kensui EZ vest to a new loving home, will be more than willing to show it love 😊 Loving the content 🇬🇧
The home gym version of “my NEW dream desk setup!”
I see the amount of plates you have. I've watched your videos about the different types of plates available. I'm looking for plates, but i don't know how many of each to get to be optimal. Can you please do a video "Optimal plate kit for beginner, intermediate, advanced".
Great video! Can you attach the prime RO8 pullup handles to a rogue monster lite crossmember? Thanks for all your content!
Could probably buy Twitter with the cost of that set up
What is the metal plate you are doing the medicine ball throw onto?
So bad ass! Functional real life system. Space consuming but really cool!
Would you be able to bolt a Titan extension kit to a Rogue rm3 to make it a 6 post?
Where’d you get those dip horns? I know you mentioned in the previous 1.0 coop squat you were going to get a custom set made I think from black widow. Since then they have a pair on their website. Are those the ones you’re using in this video, could the ones they have on their site work just as well either way?
never knew you needed 136 different places to do pull ups
Hey Coop, what width are the crossmembers that you have the plate posts attached to? And are they from REP?
Absolutely 💯 brilliant 👏 🔝✌️😃
What is your opinion of the Jacked up Fitness extreme rack?
Hi Coop/Sam! Can you let me what brand of jammer arms are the ones at the back in front of the Rhino squat?
So basically -
I need to sell all my monster lite beams and crossmembers lol
I think you’re right coop- I didn’t know you could get so much out of the rogue rhino
What dip handles are you @garagegymreviews using?
your gym is basically a supercar of homegyms lmao.
How difficult is it to get a plate onto the Rhino? It looks tight back there between the storage rack and the pegs on the Rhino.
If i get rich one day, i don't want a big house with a garage, i want a big garage with a house and a gym just like that! lol
Anyone know what those dip horns are? Never seen those and now have to have them.
Custom from Black Widow Training Gear. (You won't find them on their site 🥺)
-Nathan (Videographer)
nerd advice for Sam: collect all the weight and put them into an excel sheet. 1) this means the next time coop ask you to calculate something, you already have most of the data in it. 2) if you mess up in the calculations, you won't have to reenter everything 2, 3, or 17 times.
Have you found a good way to do hip thrusts with the Rogue Rhino Coop?
Been looking all over to see if the rhino attachment is a huge hinderance on doing incline benches. What are the negatives to attaching the rhino? Looking at the rm-6 rhino combo. 😊

Coop - what type of floor mats are you using?
Anyone know where you get those dip horns?
How about a parts list Coop?
When are you going to review the Force USA all in you got a while back?
Open source FTW!
Gosh. I wish I was working there and had opportunities for hand me downs lol
Do you like the 24" spacing for your rhino drop in or do you feel 30-36" would give you more flexible options for additional set ups, bench arrangements etc? Going from a 4 post to 6 post setup and curious with the functionality you've experienced.
Hey cool where’d you get the wall slam attachment ?
