    I think that you wanted to build something that no one else has. and I like that. At this point of the game the power rack becomes personal and I know that you are proud of yours. The bigger the better this is America. I enjoyed the video. Very entertaining.

      No denying that!!! I originally only wanted a single upright so that I could branch off the side of the rack (for my cable movements)....but then I discovered Rogue only sells uprights in pairs! .....the rest is history!!! .... THE MEGA MONSTER RACK WAS BORN!!!....lol...I appreciate ya watching/glad you enjoyed it!!

    Love it! When I bought my RM-6 I took a gamble and ordered the Monster Lite wall mount since I'm not able to secure my rack to the floor (heated slab and don't wanna drill into the tubes). Monster Lite worked just fine, drilled the holes out to 1" and bought my hardware locally.

    Thx for your reviews and just subscribed! Received RM6 and I’m blown away. Found your suggestions very helpful such as rogue sign cross member in the back against the wall, chin up in the middle and an extra cross member in the front. Put j cups for squats in the middle facing wall mirror. Put 35” trolley arms on outside post inside the rack facing mirror. Works great.
    Lastly, seems like guys go out of the way to make cable lat / row easy to use and set up. Rogue slinger seems less than optimal and their other offering is too heavy and expensive. Personally I just use a stand alone plate loaded cable machine. Set up and ready to go. Problem is this old Body Solid looks wimpy compared to my RM6. Looking to upgrade. Here’s a couple commercial grade options for less than $1K made out of 11 gauge steel. Might want to check these companies out. Great prices and reviews.

    Wow. Very bold. So I’m awaiting my RM6 with trolley arms. I have the short arms coming and wondering how you would recommend setting this up facing a wall with a mirror. Was think of installing trolley arms on posts furthest from the wall inside the 4 ft section so you would be facing the mirror for military or incline. Then the J cups on the middle post to squat facing the mirror. This leaves the back 2 foot section. Other than weight storage, what would be good? I have seen where some flare out the 2 foot sections on both sides for weight trees - rack in a “T” shape. Just looking for ideas and knowledge before I install
