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
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!
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..
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.
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.
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.
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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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....
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. 😊
Thanks for the update on the rack! If you had gone with the 47" design, how would you would have dropped the Rouge Rhino in? Would it still work or what kind of modifications would have to happen?

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?
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".
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.
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 🇬🇧
Coop, can you do a review on all the squat wedges out there. PLEASE! I’m a big fan of Rogue but I don’t want to purchase from Rogue just because I’m a fan if I don’t hve to.
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.
I adding this comment cuz it's your most current post but between pins and straps that you didn't cover is if you have multiple attachments to your rack best to go with pins for safety so you can put the pin anywhere otherwise the safety straps better if you have no other attachments plus don't see the pins failing unless you have a million pounds to drop

And Sam will be jackedy jacked.

Great video! Do we have an ETA on the functional trainer comparison video? Excited to hear your thoughts on the different options
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
This is the best garage gym channel. Swole Jole approves.
Coop is my hero....almost makes me want to drive through Springfield.

awesome home gym, Coop! your gym has come a long way since 2020. the walls, lighting and racks give it an awesome touch.
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.
That is amazing!! Total respect for your passion!
That...looks...AWESOME 🔥🔥
This is amazing and I love the idea. Great job Coop!

Open source is so awesome, Coop can custom-engineer a square, and call it a box!
Time to do it again at all 3 price points. Have fun Sam 🥳
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
I love that 3 change plate attachment
Same. Simple, but well done!

Love how you maximized the use of the rhino
This guy sure loves pull-ups
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.
Love it. It’s beyond overkill.

Bwuajajaja “did you get the bolts?” Then the x files music ah man too funny
Thank God you're putting that Titan plyo box jump machine to use
Love open source system theory. Followed your lead and did the same.
We love Sam!
It would be cool to make a series called pimp my garage gym

Hey guys this is COOP!
make a “budget” version build video PLEASE with cherries and knurling on top PRETTY PLEASE

Surplus Strength and some of their customers have said you can build a Rhino into a Monster Lite - probably the RML-690.

Sam killed me with the Basement Brandon comment!
Thanks for the update on the rack! If you had gone with the 47" design, how would you would have dropped the Rouge Rhino in? Would it still work or what kind of modifications would have to happen?
No, that's really the main sticking point because unless some serious modification is made, the Rhino only works on a 49" width.

Hey Coop, what width are the crossmembers that you have the plate posts attached to? And are they from REP?
What dip handles are you @garagegymreviews using?
2:21 now I know what to count at night so I can fall asleep 👍🏼
Where are those dip horns from? Definitely see the value in having two individual dip horns, instead of a single attachment.
