ROGUE Home Gym Folding Rack | DIY Install & Review | RML-3WC
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
- After doing a ton of research for our new small home gym. I installed a Rogue Fitness Monster Lite RML-3WC folding weight rack. Before purchasing the rack my wife and I had many questions concerning the quality and installation of this rack. I hope to answer all of your questions and review the rack, safety arms, dip bar, and folding bench.
The installation process is something really anyone can do yourself over a weekend.
Overall my wife and I are very happy with our new weight rack. I highly recommend it to anyone trying to save space, money, or in need of a rack that can be stored away easily.
Tools 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.

![Best Squat Rack for Small Space in 2022 [Rogue Fitness Edition]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/45PCMd8QSXA/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the ruclips.net/user/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 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.
Thanks, Glad I could help!
Rogue is awesome!
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!
Best/easiest vid to follow ...I searched and searched. Thanks for taking the time . 💪🏽
Glad it helped!
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!!
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.
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!
You saved my Life with this very detailed install. So Thank you!
Glad I could help!
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
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!
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!
Any man with not just one, but TWO goldens, I can trust 🤙
Quality review, very well done. I don't need to see any other video besides this one. 🤜🤛
Best video on RUclips on how to install. 🎉
Ryan this video is great! I got buff on this setup! Now all the ladies love me!!!!!
Thanks I appreciate it! Good to hear!
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. 👌🏽
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!
great video, just wanted to get an idea of how it folds and the set up, this was perfect!
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
Yet again another spectacular video!! Keep up the great work :)
Thanks again!
This is a great information vid! Just got my rack in today and can't wait to put it together
Glad it was helpful!
Very sturdy, thank you! This will fit my collection of rocks
Thanks for watching
Thank you for this video! When I got my rack I knew exactly what to do to get it together 👍🍻
Glad it helped!
Just ordered mine yesterday, super excited!
Awesome hope you enjoy it!
Your video helped tremendously in installing the rig
Glad it helped.
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.
Awesome tutorial, exactly what I needed to watch. Cheers!
Thanks, Glad it helped.
Thank you! Just what I’ve been looking for
Awesome video, it helped me clarify my questions about the studs. Thanks a ton!
No problem, Thanks for watching!
Thmx for the video I am debating to buy this rack too :) for my new flat :) Great tutorial :)
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!
Nice video, very well explained. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights. Hope you enjoy your workout
Thanks you too
Thank you for the thorough review and demonstration!
My pleasure!
Fantastic comprehensive review mate - thank you!
My pleasure!
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.
Great video! Pretty much followed your installation steps to the tee. Thank you!
Glad it helped.
welp...this solidifies my decision! Thank you my good man!!!
No problem and good to hear!
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.
ty. the only idea i got was to use some temperary screws to hold the stringers in place. smart thinking
Awesome vid and dogs. We just ordered the same Rogue in green:-)
This is such a fantastic video!! I wouldn't have gotten our squat rack mounted without the tutorial- so thank you!!
Great video...Can the stringer go above a molding at the base of the floor?
Great build and review! I want to get a red one now!
Thanks! You should!
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.
This video was super helpful, thanks!
Good to hear!
Thank you for the video! It answered all my questions.
Glad it was helpful!
@@ThatTechTeacher427 yes. It was very helpful. Like you, I wanted to make sure the weight would be supported on the floor and not the wall studs. The video answered my question. Now to decide if I want to buy the 21.5" or the 41.5" :)
Thanks for this video really helpful!
One question: can I mount this rack in any wall on my house of there are some restrictions?
Good job on this video. Very easy to follow along
Thanks!
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?
Great video, companies should pay you to do all their instructionals.
Great video thanks for posting- did you buy the 23 inch or the 40 inch folding arms?
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.
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!
Easily the best video regarding the install! Thank you for the content! If you happen to see this would you recommend we wait for our gym floor mats (3/8") to come in before install? Or will they not make a difference in the open/close of the arms?
I slided mine under the rack. It is better to place them before and then install accordingly. Have you installed it?
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.
Best video on RUclips 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!
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
Awesome project!! Thanks for sharing! Liked and subscribed!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
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
Awesome video great job keep up the good work.
Thanks! Will do!
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 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
Awesome! Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching!
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 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?
Nice video, do you need the stringer if you mounting to concrete? Thanks
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.
Great video! How long did it take you to install the whole thing ?
Great review. Love rogue stuff.
Thanks! Rogue makes good stuff!
@@Pler1978 That sounds like a bunch of awesome equipment. Now might be a good time to make a new review with all the home gym interest.
@@Pler1978 Ya I see where you are coming from.
Great Video. Thanks!. I have a question: Where do you buy those mats?. Thanks!
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".
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.
I’d like to attach trx straps off the pull up bar. Do you think hanging back at a diagonal would negatively effect the system?
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 ?
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.
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. 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.
Sweet, now I know how to use a stud finder. Find the 2 edges and mark the middle.
😃
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?
Awesome review, can we get an in depth tour of your home gym next video?
Thanks! I have it in the plans do another video about the gym and there will be a few more additions as we figure out how to use the space.
Hey Ryan, thanks for posting this video. Very useful. I see that you got a rack with a depth of 21.5", do you have enough space to do kipping pull ups?
Pull ups no problem, but we do not do kips because of the ceiling height so I can't say. It would be close
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.
great review!
Thanks!
Thanks for this video! do you know if the bolts it comes with are to go into metal studs on a concrete wall? or i need to get something else?
I believe they only work in wood. For concrete you would need concrete anchors and I am not 100% about metal studs but I am sure there is something better for that.
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!
Nice video, I have the same rig and like it a lot.
Thanks! Good to hear we found Rogue builds quality products.
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".
Thanks for the review! How much weight can the safety arms hold, and have they felt sufficient for you?
I cant find anywhere how much it officially holds. The most I have had on it so far is 225 and if felt amazingly sturdy. IDK why it could not hold 1,000lbs.
that is unbelievably sturdy Ryan!! shake those big boys well! Yet another tremendous video yet I may suggest you change your style in carpet... only kidding buddy! Keep up the fabulous work, great job!
Thanks!
Do you know of the rogie leverage arms will work on the foldable rack and do you know if I can attach the sling lat pull down to it? I have a valor compact lat pull down machine which I like. Do you think it will be worth selling it to get the rogue sling attachment to foldable rack and is there any limitations as opposed as a lat pull down machine?
Thank you for the video! =) It looks like your have the 21.5 rack depth. If you were doing chest press, would there be room for a spotter to be behind you? Or would you recommend getting the 41.5 depth for that?
Yep 21.5 and ya there is plenty of room for spotters for us.
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.
That was helpful, thank you.
Glad to hear it!
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!
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 ruclips.net/video/RoAcYJsetuk/видео.html and *in comments, you will find link for installation video which will answer all questions related to hardware and installation steps. Thanks!*
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
Thanks for the video. Quick question, do the uprights rest on the floor when in the setup position? My floor slopes away from the wall and I wonder if it is going to drag on the floor as I collapse it? Thanks.
Yes the uprights do rest on the wall. If you floor slightly slopes away from the wall I might mount the stringer slightly lower on the wall then in the directions so the uprights have room to slide up and down when folded in and then back out.
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.
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).
