What else to consider from Rogue
Overview of the RML3
The
Rogue RML3 is a half
rack from
Rogue that has been inspired by the classic Westside power cage. It comes in black and is made in Columbus, Ohio. This unit saves space and can fill a large establishment with many benches and squatting stations at an affordable price. If you need
to buy a bunch of racks, this might be the option for you.
The
RML3 is 49'' long and 30'' wide. It comes in at a height of 90.375''. The overall footprint comes
to 53''x34''. The stell notes are made from 3x3'' Gauge steel. This
rack is delivered with J CUps, Pin/Pipe safeties, and band pegs
to get you going. As it derives from the Monster lite series it is compatible with the line and provides the Westside hole pattern for your training needs.
Pros of the RML3
A big pro is the price. This is one of the most affordable options out of the Monster lite series which still keeps you in the two upper product ranges of Rogue. If you go any lower in the budget you will have a hard time to get a rack which is either from The MOnster or MOnster Lite series. The Infinity and Echo series just do not get as much attention from Rogue's product development.
Cons of the RML3
The RML 3 is a half
rack so you will have
to look for
plate storage. Otherwise, it will get very crammed
to exercise in there. Compared
to the Monster series you will also have
to wait longer for product upgrades in the future.
Alternatives to the RML3
Alternatives
to the
RML3 are
The
R3 is the
Rogue version of the classic Westside
Barbell Rack. You save another 100$ for about the same real estate of
rack space. Maybe bring your wife out for some dinner instead of buying the bigger
rack to appease her after taking up the floor space in the house.
If you want a full
rack instead of a half
rack for the same amount of money you can go for the
RE4 rack. The
RE4 is part of the
Rogue Echo series
which is the cheapest
to make as it has the least amount of metal. It will do the trick. If you are all for saving money and getting the most of it this might be the
rack for you.
The W4 Garage Gym is a classic from the Rogue portfolio. This will turn any garage into a functioning gym in no time. the of the steel notes have been removed to bolt the W4 system against one wall of your garage. With this, you make some additional savings which can put into equipment instead of rack space.
