There are a few specific reasons why I went with this specific setup and am going to show you why right now! If you are looking for yourself or someone else as a gift you are going to love this squat stand!

I decided to go with this Rogue Fitness SML-2 Monster lite squat stand for a few reasons.

I wanted to get something that would hold up over time. Rogue makes some of the best fitness products in the world so I was sure that I would be getting quality and also is backed for life with their warranty. I thought about getting one off facebook marketplace but then you run the risk of not having a warranty as well.

I really wanted something that was super sturdy and had a pull-up bar that would not move when you use it. That was an absolute must for me. I have had some bad experiences with pull-up bars that go under the door frame but not going to talk about that today. I also am skeptical about a wall mount one and just feel a lot better with the free standing setup.

I had been looking at some racks from grind fitness that are about half the price, but I saw some reviews saying that it wasn’t that sturdy and also the pull-up bar was a much lower height than the rogue one that I got. The rogue pull-up bar height for the sml 2 is around 90 inches. This is the perfect height because I plan on doing weighted pull-ups with a belt and chain hanging down. I also just like to do my pull-ups higher up. I love how solid it is and you don’t ever have to worry about feeling safe. It also is pretty wide at 49 inches wide and 92 inches tall. The total weight of this stand is 157 pounds and can hold up to1000+ Pounds. The j-cups are made super well and have protective plastic inserts in them as well. I don’t have to worry about these things at all! The reviews on site are incredible as well complementing the size and just overall durability. The rouge branding on the side is pretty cool and looks good in my at home gym. The shipping was about $80 to North Carolina and I paid total around $600 for this stand.

Another great thing about this stand is all the ways that you can add onto it after the fact. Right now I am not ready to add more but when I am I can buy conversion kits from rogue to convert it to a half rack as well. This will be nice when I buy more plates for my gym. They also have attachments so you can do dips and even have a pulley attachment to doo a ton of other exercises.

I can 100% guarantee that you will not be disappointed with this squat stand. This thing is just absolutely rock solid and the best you can get for the price.

Okay so now I am going to show you the unboxing and setup for the Rogue SML-2 monster lite squat stand.

So it comes with a total of 5 boxes. Be aware that all of these boxes will come in the mail at separate times and this is completely normal. For me the pull-up bar came the first day and then the rest of the packages showed up the day after. I ordered and these packages showed up in 3 days which is pretty unreal!

If you are looking for the nuts and bolts and the instructions they will be in the square box or at least they were for me.

Whats really nice about this setup is that all the nuts and bolts are the same for every place you have to connect pieces so you don’t have to worry if you are using the right ones.

You will need your own wrenches for setup but it went by pretty quickly for me and maybe took about 30-45 mins. It didn’t require 2 people but would probably go by even faster if you wanted to have a hand.

The first step is to connect the feet to the base of the squat stand.

This setup does come with lock washers so when you go to set it up put the flat washer on the bolt, then stick it trough the hole. Next you want to put the lock washer on the other side and screw in the bolt.

I would recommend putting your pull-up bar on last just so you know the correct height you want it at. Like I said before I like mine a little higher than most and am glad that this stand has the option to have it all the way to 90 inches. Make sure you have all nuts and bolts screwed tightly together and you will be good to go. Pullups/squats you name it you will be getting after it in no time.

Like I said before this stand is absolutely rock solid and I don’t have to worry about it at all. You can do so many exercises with this squat stand as well. I am planning on getting safety spotter arms for added safety too.

If you are on the fence at all about this squat stand this is your sign to just bite the bullet and buy it. Don’t spend your money on something cheap that isn’t quality and can potentially get you hurt. Think of it as an investment in yourself!
