I mean your right in a way, but a macbook pro is also a pretty expensive computer. It just boils down to need. If you need a good rack that will support a good amount of weight safely then purchase is reasonable. If you never plan on getting more than 185 on the bar then maybe less so.
I ordered my Rogue equipment during their Black Friday special when 5 items ship for $5. The amount of savings was with the wait because freight shipping was well over $300. This might not work for the really impatient people out there but if you’re looking to save more I’d def recommend waiting.
Nice set up. I canceled my gym membership because it got too crowded and couldn't get the equipment I needed half the time. My basement has 9ft ceilings and I have a full basement approx. 1700 sq ft to work with. I chose the RML-390 C 30 inch version. I replaced the pipe pins with the 30 in safety straps and also got a pair of spotter arms that I can use outside the rack for benching, bent over rows, etc. I swapped out the fat/skinny pull up bar for the multi grip bar. I like being able to do hammer pull ups. I have the rogue flat utility bench 2.0 and went with an Ironman 1500 lb light commercial FID bench. It is very stable and solid for incline/decline work. I also like doing body weight exercises so I was excited to find a Fitness Reality X-class power tower on craigs list. This is a really heavy duty power tower and very versatile for leg raises, dips, pull ups, push ups, inverted rows. The remaining items I use are a set of Olympic rings for strength, balance work and a Xmark commercial sit up bench with 12 incline positions. I have around 400 lbs of inexpensive iron weights and a set of 15 to 50 lb dumbbells with stand I got for $250 from a buddy. I would like to get some bumper plates for Olympic lifts and dead lifts. For flooring I also went with 3/4 in stall mats under everything. I bought 15 for my gym floor area with room to expand if needed. I just need to install some mirrors and white board to keep track of progress.
Thanks!! That sounds like a pretty awesome setup you got!! I still go to a gym but love the ability to get a good workout in my garage. If I had dumbbells, I could probably cancel my gym membership like you did but will keep it for now.
Renaldo cleophat Six more inches in depth between upright posts inside the rack. A 24 inch rack is perfectly acceptable to squat, bench, deadlift, etc inside the rack. The 30 inch gives a bit more room for bigger lifters or those used to a little more room inside. It was only a $20 upgrade to get the 30 inch cross members so seemed a no brainer when I ordered mine
Me my gf and my brother pay for gym memberships. The only gym in traveling range is about 80$ per month each. We were paying 240$ flat fee per month plus fuel expenses to drive 30 mins to the gym and home. We all have different schedules and dont carpool. You can imagine the amount of money and time we spent going to the gym. Rogue isnt just a brand name, its a warranty guarantee from a brand that likely isnt dying anytime soon. I dont buy EVERYTHING rogue, but the foundation of my equipment is Rogue and its been a great savings for me and my family overall. We were probably spending more than 350$ per month total going to the gym and did that for 2 years straight before we invested in about 2000$ of rogue equipment and 3000$ of random filler used pieces of gear. In 2 years we spent around 8400$ combined for a regular gym where we fought for machines. In contrast we spent 5000$ for our current setup which will pay up in just over a years time and then we begin saving. Investing in a home gym is incredibly specific to your situation and buying rogue is not stupid if you do it right. Do I buy ever special edition barbell, poster and tshirt they make? No. But having a solid power rack and a few other functional pieces with a lifetime guarantee from a brand that has longevity is smart.
@@Justaguyyoutubin so you spent 5k worth of equipment between 3 people... What if you and your gf breakup? Or your brother moves out...Do you buy-out the person who leaves?
@@ultimaetsolder Relationship has lasted for a decade. The last thing im concerned about is a loss in a few thousand dollars in gym equipment hahahaha. We own several properties together. The gym equipment would be laughable. If you get good deals on the pieces you own, and they pay themselves off quickly, it is a net gain. As far as paying eachother out etc... We're family and we all make good money, we would be able to work it out.
I added up my rogue bill (the dream list) would have been $4000. I bought a used r3 and am piecing things together. I imagine I'll end up spending $2000 by being patient and buying used. Want to make sure I'll use everything I purchase and am not buying things on a whim. Because I also need to use my space wisely.
Love your home gym...my husband built us a home gym also...some of our workout equipment, we got from garage sales and second hand store...it all works! But I'm so loving your gym!! ❤❤❤👍💪
This is great but there is cheaper (and available) option in market. See our video on Wall Mount Fold Back Rack. czcams.com/video/VWoy5ot4lFg/video.html

Enjoyed the video. Most of my stuff, like yours, is Rogue. I started with the RM3 then added on + 43” to make it a RM6, customizing it with a vertical extension that I had Dean from blackwidow training gear make. I also made my own deadlift platform but it’s only 1 piece and weighs a ton (moving it will be laborious). Having my own gym is bliss, my version of the man-cave. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Great video, thanks for the insights! I just started building my home gym a few months ago, putting a bit money in it from month to month. Started with cheap equipment but wen to rogue fitness now, they are just amazing!
I've invested in myself as well. Best decision ever. I've ordered my Rouge rack can't wait to get it. One also has to have dumbbells to get a moderately efficient work out. Shipping is expensive a-f. Cheers, ZF and great video BTW
You don't NEED dumbbells to get a moderately efficient workout. They are a "nice to have" piece of equipment. Get resistance bands and call it a day. Cheaper, easier to use and more exercises/uses than dumbbells. Don't even get me started on the storage benefits the bands will have over the dumbbells lol!
You have a nice setup there. Now you need some dumbbells and Standard Barbell are not Rogue plates but they will do the job. I have Standard Barbell plates dating back to the year 2000 before Rogue was thought of. In 2011 I bought 16 York 45's and 12 each of other weights down to the 2.5 lb. plates from a gym that was closing. They are vintage York plates made in the US of A. The 45, 35 and 25 lb. plates are machined on the back for accuracy. I gave the owner 60 cents a pound because of the fine condition the plates were in and Chinese plates were selling for 50 cents a pound then. I was lucky and about four months later another gym was closing. I got 4, 100 lb. CAP plates that --for some reason looked as if they hadn't been used much! I put them on a trap bar and walked them the 75 feet to door where I parked my truck. 50 cents a pound! As no none had used them much when the gym was in it's heyday, no one wanted to buy them either! Once COVID19 is done there will be many bargains again. Keep your eyes open! Would hooks on inversion boots fit over that bar? Great core workout with inversion boots. I imagine that you have expanded quite a bit since 2017. Nice video about the set up of a new gym.
Shipping was literally 10%. In Australia we have a 10% on everything, bought locally or from O/S. Hardly anything to complain about. Overall that is a sweet package you bought there.
what type and thickness of stall mats did you use on the platform? and where did you find them? I want to make the portable floor one you describe but can't find the stall mat.
I like that you broke out the choices. Looks like it is a buy once and be happy situation instead of go cheap and be sorry. How are you liking the bench?
It’s a nice gym and buy what you want but if y’all really want to save some money, buy your equipment used. You can get some nice pieces (such as rogue) but if you aren’t worried about that there are plenty of others you can get that serve the same purpose. At the end of the day weight is weight and it will still function the exact same way new or used. If you have a truck you can pick it all up yourself.
This is great but there is cheaper (and available) option in market. See our video on Wall Mount Fold Back Rack. czcams.com/video/VWoy5ot4lFg/video.html
Great video. Do the 45s mounted on the storage pins interfere with your bench? Did you end up attaching the other storage pins? I'm just about to place my order, but worried that I can't use multiple storage pins up the rack because it will interfere with bench.
Thanks man! Really informative! One of the best and most informative I have found when it comes to building your own home gym on a budget! Keep on lifting! #SBD
Hey man, do you still own and use the Rogue Adjustable 2.0 bench after all this time? Ever get frustrated with the lack of seat adjustments? Or any other complaints? Thank you for your perspective
truthfully it would come down to how thick your pads are and how heavy the weight is. the platform just gives the floor underneath more protection. If you are going very heavy, then yes. However, if you only do 135-225 I doubt it would be needed with thick pads.
bars are so cheap in the USA .... we get stitched up in the UK .. playground matting is another option I used that as it's super thick and I lift in my dining room so my floor protection needed to be super heavy duty.. plywood carpet plywood and then playground matting then I stand on stuff to adjust height ... they use it on oly platforms ...
my major expense has been bars .. I've got an eleiko PL comp bar on it's way next week ... I adjust bench by sticking a couple of bits of wood under legs to make it the perfect height as I have flat bench only I don't incline was only interested in getting bench which was close to 12inch wide
Myo Nation for example I lift in a fed that uses a Texas deadlift bar and it would be handy to have one myself but the best price in the UK is 570 GBP I think the GBP dollar rate is 1 equal 1.25 dollars .. and you can get a Texas DL bar in the US for about $400 ..
Yep rogue benches are decent but they have their flaws. Seen it in person, tsk tsk manufacturer. And 275 dollars for an Ohio power bar?? I'm going to say in Aus, $560 bitcheees
This is great but there is cheaper (and available) option in market. See our video on Wall Mount Fold Back Rack. czcams.com/video/VWoy5ot4lFg/video.html
Thanks for the tip on Tractor Supply for the mats. I bought a bunch from Play it Again. Now I need more, but they no longer stock them. Online stores obviously add major shipping charges.
Nice video. I just recently got same rack myself. Can i ask if yours is perfectly balanced? Mine is a little shaking if I push it and i can see one pair of the diagonal foot is slightly up compared to the other pair. Do you know if this would be still safe to use? seems solid when i try pull up
How do you like the adjustable bench? Is it as stable as a regular typical flat bench at most gyms...? How is the width ..? I normally don't like benching with an adjustable bench but this looks as high end as the legend one which is as stable as most flat benches maybe more so since the pad is stiffer and its a tad wider than many commercial benches... How many weight pegs can you add without it getting In the way? I contacted rogue and theu said you can covert the 490 to a 690 easily for about four hundred bucks
usarugby I went with the steel ones because they were smaller than the affordable bumper plates. If I tried to load up a bunch of bumper plates on the squat, it wouldn’t fit. The thinner bumper plates were really expense too.
I enjoyed your video, but noticed you haven’t posted one in quite some time. Your delivery and editing is very good, and I would encourage you to keep making videos. Hope all is well. Cheers
Ultranationalist, at what age? If you are 40 and can’t afford a rouge rack you need a career change. Maybe work a second job If you aren’t making at least 50 grand a year.
@@awesomet8388 That's completely ridiculous. Is that how complacent people are with this? "Fuck it just work a second job." How about we make wages smgch inflation. Problem solved for everyone.
Ultranationalist, what do you do for a living? I only went to a tech school after being broke in my 20,s. I became a Plumber in my late 30s and make good money now. (80-100 grand) I think if you really want more money you can do it. I was a broke pot stoner working poor wages before that , it can be done if you want it. Don’t blame the world or rich people for being poor.
So it looks like you don't have stabilizer bar I guess even though not bolted it's not necessary with the plate storage. Was thinkong of getting the 490 and in year or two get the back weight storage which you can get separately from rogue
I'm going to go rml 490 add weight storage posts ...and use spotter arms so that I don't have to worry about the plate storage taking up a hole thats needed for rod and pipe ... Use the spotter arms on the opposite side of the plate storage ...the plate storage seems a bit pricey ... The rml 690 is now 1400 so thinking of that since when you add the cost of the stabilizer and the strorage pins not as big a savings as you might
Also, is it just me or does the dark red and red color option look pretty much the same? I saw another video with a dark red and it looks identical to me
1pwNz0mb13Z The R3 is a great rack. Smaller footprint and narrower overall width with 2X3 uprights vs 3X3 monster light uprights. This makes racing the barbell easier since more room between plates and j-hooks. Also attachmen9 will be a bit cheaper.
This is great but there is cheaper (and available) option in market. See our video on Wall Mount Fold Back Rack. czcams.com/video/VWoy5ot4lFg/video.html
I bought something like those www.fitnessdigital.fr/body-solid-ez0100-halteres-automatiques-set-5-32.5kg/p/10002910/ from 2.5kg to 25kg and then dumbells from 32 to 40kg (enough for me ^^)... I still need 26-28-30 kg ... But you are right, most of the best exercises can be done with what you already have.
I know you’ve posted this awhile back but now in 2020 year of the home gym, I had a question. Can you tell me more about those basic rogue plates? Are they like a deep dish? You know, flat on one side, like the classic plates in a gym. It’s hard to tell from pictures and I’ve heard they were a bit weird with dimples on their rounded edges or something. How were the tolerances? Thank you sir
Deep dish are not up for sale yet as per today. They posted just to create hype. See our video on Wall Mount Fold Back Rack. czcams.com/video/VWoy5ot4lFg/video.html
thanks for the video. I'm torn between the 490C and RM4. The RM4 seems way over budget but like you i just want to get the basics to get started.. Attachments and all the fancy stuff can come later.. The Problem is nothing is in stock. I was also looking at Rep fitness but i think they source from China. thanks
Hey I hope you found out that the strap safeties on the RM4 and other monster line racks are a pain in the butt compared to how they work on the monster lite line.

love it dude, im a trainer, yes certified lol, and im opening a small 600 square feet gym for my personal clients, hiked mi price because of it and they didnt mind lol. but i really need help with what i can get away with my budget is only about 6k to build this thing, and ive bought a skierg, and c2 rower, matts of course box, and kettle bells, this is a crossfit box, maybe you have any advice?
Sorry Luis, I'm not too familiar with what a crossfit gym would need. My guess is you would want to invest in some good bars and bumper plates since most of the exercises are barbell based. Rogue sells both in my opinion. Besides that, I'm not quite sure what you would need.
Really not that expensive, this is the price of a MacBook Pro... Perspective is important and most don't have it.
Exactly. My girlfriend has spent £600 on Pandora charms for her bracelet but thinks this is expensive 😂
@@getstrongby4038 fuck is a Pandora charm
@@Theonegamefreak haha Pandora is a jewellery company that sells charm bracelets. Stupid overpriced bullshit for women 🤣🤣
I mean your right in a way, but a macbook pro is also a pretty expensive computer. It just boils down to need. If you need a good rack that will support a good amount of weight safely then purchase is reasonable. If you never plan on getting more than 185 on the bar then maybe less so.
Exactly
I ordered my Rogue equipment during their Black Friday special when 5 items ship for $5. The amount of savings was with the wait because freight shipping was well over $300. This might not work for the really impatient people out there but if you’re looking to save more I’d def recommend waiting.
Nice set up. I canceled my gym membership because it got too crowded and couldn't get the equipment I needed half the time. My basement has 9ft ceilings and I have a full basement approx. 1700 sq ft to work with. I chose the RML-390 C 30 inch version. I replaced the pipe pins with the 30 in safety straps and also got a pair of spotter arms that I can use outside the rack for benching, bent over rows, etc. I swapped out the fat/skinny pull up bar for the multi grip bar. I like being able to do hammer pull ups. I have the rogue flat utility bench 2.0 and went with an Ironman 1500 lb light commercial FID bench. It is very stable and solid for incline/decline work. I also like doing body weight exercises so I was excited to find a Fitness Reality X-class power tower on craigs list. This is a really heavy duty power tower and very versatile for leg raises, dips, pull ups, push ups, inverted rows. The remaining items I use are a set of Olympic rings for strength, balance work and a Xmark commercial sit up bench with 12 incline positions. I have around 400 lbs of inexpensive iron weights and a set of 15 to 50 lb dumbbells with stand I got for $250 from a buddy. I would like to get some bumper plates for Olympic lifts and dead lifts. For flooring I also went with 3/4 in stall mats under everything. I bought 15 for my gym floor area with room to expand if needed. I just need to install some mirrors and white board to keep track of progress.
Thanks!! That sounds like a pretty awesome setup you got!! I still go to a gym but love the ability to get a good workout in my garage. If I had dumbbells, I could probably cancel my gym membership like you did but will keep it for now.
What’s the difference between 24 inch and the 30 inch rack Depth? I can’t seem to figure it out
Renaldo cleophat Six more inches in depth between upright posts inside the rack. A 24 inch rack is perfectly acceptable to squat, bench, deadlift, etc inside the rack. The 30 inch gives a bit more room for bigger lifters or those used to a little more room inside. It was only a $20 upgrade to get the 30 inch cross members so seemed a no brainer when I ordered mine
Totally understand, I have a power cage set up now and I do not miss the gym at all.
The floor mat idea just saved me $400-$1400. Seriously, $44 and 1 hour and the job as done! Thanks!

“Rogue” and “money saving” don’t belong in the same title

How do you like the adjustable bench? Is it as stable as a regular typical flat bench at most gyms...? How is the width
..? I normally don't like benching with an adjustable bench but this looks as high end as the legend one which is as stable as most flat benches maybe more so since the pad is stiffer and its a tad wider than many commercial benches... How many weight pegs can you add without it getting In the way?
I contacted rogue and theu said you can covert the 490 to a 690 easily for about four hundred bucks
Bro that rack is what the fuck im talking about! Nothing worse than going to a gym only to see it packed.
That is one great looking gym. Enjoy it!
The RML-690C takes much more space... glad you didn't do my mistake ;)
It fits, but it's not worth it ;)
what is the size of your room. And do you have any cardio equipment in the room
Good job on the video. Appreciate the price breakdown also.
Did you bolt your rack into the floor or did you find that you did not need to?
Hey bud why did you go with steel plates? I'm trying to decide between steel plates and bummer plates.
usarugby I went with the steel ones because they were smaller than the affordable bumper plates. If I tried to load up a bunch of bumper plates on the squat, it wouldn’t fit. The thinner bumper plates were really expense too.
Thanks brother looks great dude. Thanks for the help cheers!
So why not the monstet rsck?
How long before u got it in from time that u order
Nice setup, and I like your platform idea. I hate the shipping prices too but really, for all that you received, it doesn't seem that bad.
Nice work and good info from my boy over at MN!
Dope setup!
Nice video! Do those "bumps" on the stall mats somehow affect stability? Are they noticeable at all? Especially when squatting or deadlifting.
Great! Thanks for the quick reply :-)
@@HeWe91 What was his reply? It looks like it got deleted. I am also curious.
I enjoyed your video, but noticed you haven’t posted one in quite some time. Your delivery and editing is very good, and I would encourage you to keep making videos. Hope all is well. Cheers
We are planning post more often. See our video on Wall Mount Fold Back Rack.

Rogue is amazing stuff, but if ya'll really want to save money shop for a used rack on craigslist. Spend on the rogue barbell over the rack imo
Sick Rogue setup bro
Excellent video
Kofy Spot thanks!
Hey man, are you still using this same rack after 5 years?
How do you like the rogue steel plates? Are they chipping?
I love them! They haven't chipped yet and are holding up well.
How much weight can you squat with the monster lite rack? What is the maximum capacity that it can support?
Chief_ Trukalot It will handle any amount of weight you can load on the bar. Safety straps are rated at 10,000lbs each
Im trying to keep my whole setup, including mma setup under 1500
Step 1
Save $5,000
The average person makes 40k a year. Pretty sure you can cut back and save 5k 😂.
@@austinstephens3304 Average? No. Average can be misleading.
Most people make Jack shit.
Ultranationalist, at what age? If you are 40 and can’t afford a rouge rack you need a career change. Maybe work a second job If you aren’t making at least 50 grand a year.
@@awesomet8388 That's completely ridiculous. Is that how complacent people are with this? "Fuck it just work a second job."
How about we make wages smgch inflation. Problem solved for everyone.
Ultranationalist, what do you do for a living? I only went to a tech school after being broke in my 20,s. I became a Plumber in my late 30s and make good money now. (80-100 grand) I think if you really want more money you can do it. I was a broke pot stoner working poor wages before that , it can be done if you want it. Don’t blame the world or rich people for being poor.
So it looks like you don't have stabilizer bar I guess even though not bolted it's not necessary with the plate storage.
Was thinkong of getting the 490 and in year or two get the back weight storage which you can get separately from rogue
I'm going to go rml 490 add weight storage posts ...and use spotter arms so that I don't have to worry about the plate storage taking up a hole thats needed for rod and pipe ...
Use the spotter arms on the opposite side of the plate storage ...the plate storage seems a bit pricey ...
The rml 690 is now 1400 so thinking of that since when you add the cost of the stabilizer and the strorage pins not as big a savings as you might
Where did you get the mats for the platform?
Would your rack tip over since you have your plates stored the way they are? Thank you
Nope it is pretty sturdy.See our video on Wall Mount Fold Back Rack.

Is it possible to do curls in this rack?
Thank you. Great info
Also, is it just me or does the dark red and red color option look pretty much the same? I saw another video with a dark red and it looks identical to me
The best colours are red, parrot and blue. See our video on Wall Mount Fold Back Rack.

Very nice work! Subscribed.
This 490C is 3.0 version ?
Great video, Nice setup!
I have the same problem. 30 min to go to gym and come back. Wanting to get my own gym for home that way I can cancel the membership

Hey, for your tractor supply, how long did it take the smell to go away?
One month kept moping it with Clorox
Where did you get your stall mats from? whats the brand/company name?
you can buy from Tractor Supply. See our video on Wall Mount Fold Back Rack.

Any thoughts on this rack vs the Rogue R-3?
They both look pretty similar
1pwNz0mb13Z The R3 is a great rack. Smaller footprint and narrower overall width with 2X3 uprights vs 3X3 monster light uprights. This makes racing the barbell easier since more room between plates and j-hooks. Also attachmen9 will be a bit cheaper.
This is great but there is cheaper (and available) option in market. See our video on Wall Mount Fold Back Rack.

very nice! just one question ... where are the dumbells ?
I know ... Im building my own garage gym and I have the same problem ... ot cost A LOT of money.
I bought something like those www.fitnessdigital.fr/body-solid-ez0100-halteres-automatiques-set-5-32.5kg/p/10002910/ from 2.5kg to 25kg and then dumbells from 32 to 40kg (enough for me ^^)... I still need 26-28-30 kg ... But you are right, most of the best exercises can be done with what you already have.
I know you’ve posted this awhile back but now in 2020 year of the home gym, I had a question.
Can you tell me more about those basic rogue plates? Are they like a deep dish? You know, flat on one side, like the classic plates in a gym. It’s hard to tell from pictures and I’ve heard they were a bit weird with dimples on their rounded edges or something. How were the tolerances? Thank you sir
Deep dish are not up for sale yet as per today. They posted just to create hype. See our video on Wall Mount Fold Back Rack.

thanks for the video. I'm torn between the 490C and RM4. The RM4 seems way over budget but like you i just want to get the basics to get started.. Attachments and all the fancy stuff can come later.. The Problem is nothing is in stock. I was also looking at Rep fitness but i think they source from China. thanks
Hey I hope you found out that the strap safeties on the RM4 and other monster line racks are a pain in the butt compared to how they work on the monster lite line.
Very nice setup. Love the red. but you bought drywall screws, not wood screws ;)
Rep fitness sells a good adjustable bench for a lot less.
This is great but there is cheaper (and available) option in market. See our video on Wall Mount Fold Back Rack.

Lucky bro. Super cool man
Can you do a gym update?
My apartment complex has this 490c in their gym. They threw work out straps on it. I dont think they knew what this rack was for. Shame.
love it dude, im a trainer, yes certified lol, and im opening a small 600 square feet gym for my personal clients, hiked mi price because of it and they didnt mind lol. but i really need help with what i can get away with my budget is only about 6k to build this thing, and ive bought a skierg, and c2 rower, matts of course box, and kettle bells, this is a crossfit box, maybe you have any advice?
Sorry Luis, I'm not too familiar with what a crossfit gym would need. My guess is you would want to invest in some good bars and bumper plates since most of the exercises are barbell based. Rogue sells both in my opinion. Besides that, I'm not quite sure what you would need.
Four steel pipes - 15 $
Friend with welder and metal drills - 20 $
Piece of wood for flat bench - 5 $
Total: 40$
lol used the black "wood screws" package says drywall screws
Not sure if this is saving much money. If you wanted to buy rogue and also save money get a R-3 rack and the flat bench. Only about $900 vs $1600
nice video, keep it up!
