The RM-3W completes the setup of foldable Rogue racks bringing it to the monster series. The most distinguishable part of this foldable rack is the 3x3" 11-Gauge steel uprights. This is combined with the excellent finish of Rogue racks, laser-cut hole numbers on the uprights and a unique hinge and pin system. The RM-3W comes in at a base price of $760. The specifications of the rack are:

 

• Made in the USA

The pros of the Rogue foldable RM-3W are:

 

 

With this rack, you will not have any problems once it is locked in place. If you want to do kipping pull-ups at home or move a lot of weight and still want a foldable rack, this is a good choice. It will also be less likely to warp and budge than the smaller brothers and sisters out of the Rogue foldable line-up.

 

As the RM-3W is out of the Monster series it will be compatible with all of the attachments out of the Rogue Monster line. This will leave you with more choice and bring the latest updates from Rogue to you faster, as they usually trickle down from the Monster series to the lite, Echo and Infinity series from Rogue.

 

Another big advantage is the laser cut numbers which help you to find your setups for a decline, incline bench press or rack pulls. This is a great convenience in everyday training at home.

 

 

The cons of the RM-3W are:

 

 

While I am a huge fan of the Monster series and would always buy a Monster rack of a monster lite rack, this logic does not really apply for a foldable rack. With a foldable rack, you have already accepted to not bolt to the ground or hang too many attachments from the structure as you still will want to fold it. This makes the argument for buying the Monster version based on thicker uprights obsolete in my opinion. Based on this I think the monster lite version of the Foldable rogue rack is a better option as it is cheaper. Rogue also has recently announced laser cut numbers for the monster lite series which was not available in the past. With this, I think you are better off going for the lower price foldable racks from Rogue. 

 

 

Alternatives to the RM-3W are:

 

 

The Rogue RM 3 would be the upgrade for you if you are willing to break the $1000 line for your rack. If you have the space available and consider the RM-3W for its sturdiness commit to your decision and get a small monster rack. Bolt it to the ground and then you can also work with monster attachments. 

 

The Rogue RML-3WC would be the better option if you definitely need a folding rack. You will save $200 and get to pick a color. You still have solid uprights and you are part of the Rogue Monster lite family. 

 

If you can not bold your rack to the ground or and a rack you can move out of the way easy with two people, opt for the RML 390F. You will get a full rack that does not need to bolt to the ground and is still stable. 

 

 

The RM-3W is consequent in terms of the Rogue portfolio to provide a foldable monster rack. I think the argument for more stability for pull-ups is sound. Apart from that the Rogue RML - 3WC is the better value for money options. If stability is your main concern a rack that is bolted to the ground is the best solution.
