Rogue Power Rack

[tr7111]

I'm looking to invest in a home gym in order to focus on the starting strength lifts.

Would you guys recommend a rogue power rack? I want one that will allow me to squat and bench without a spotter. Was eyeing this one: Rogue RM-4 Monster Rack 2.0 | Rogue Fitness

I've had the RML-390F for 6 years. Its pretty much bomb proof.

I'm looking at that one now for an outdoor home gym.

A quick plug for SSC Grant's "The General", coming in at a similar price point and perfectly suited for SS lifts, although it's too short for me (6ft tall) to do presses inside the rack. Otherwise, everything else is safely done inside.

Oh, and likely available now, unlike Rogue who has been slammed for most of this year. I ordered mine earlier this month on a Friday, delivered the following Wednesday.

The General looks pretty good, but man that is pricey compared to the Rogue RML-390F (although they have one in stock at least). I'm just over 5'8" and wonder if I could do presses inside the rack with the General? I don't see the height dimensions for that. Anybody else have any positive or negative experience with the General?

Inside-the-rack clearance for presses measures just over 79" on mine. I'm 6'00" and if I spread my feet out to touch the insides of rack, I still need another inch of clearance for a locked-out press.

[tr7111]

Since I'm 6'6" should I get a tall power rack? Like the Rogue RM-4 108" high?

What is even the difference between rogue monster and monster lite?

I am looking seriously at this. I'd like the option of shortening it, but I don't think that is available right now.

Ask TSS if they can make you a short one.
