The
LT1 50 cal lever arm had a huge surge in interest this year. It can be used to turn your rack into multiple different gym machines by attaching arms to it. The secret sauce is a pop and lock system to adjust the height which has been inspired by the 50 cal machine gun. These are a little pricey as you can get a full rack for the same price, but they are worth it if you compare it to getting all of the separate machines instead. If you are considering these, you are probably a Rogue fanboy/girl anyway and the price won’t be what matters most to you.

The last accessory on the list is the
Rogue Monster slinger which I personally would not recommend. Rogue put this out to monetize on people who already have a Rogue rack and have no space for a lat pull. The
monster slinger is basically the pulley system that is being used on the newer lat pull towers from Rogue. While this is sound commercial thinking, Rogue did not pay enough attention to detail on how someone would actually use this pulley she attached to the rack. It’s a nice toy to get but for the money, I think you are better off getting a couple of strongman sandbags or a pair of
loadable dumbbells from Rogue. They are fun and you will get some tricep activation out of them too.

Cons of the Monster Utility seat

Alternatives to the Monster Utility seat
If you only want to perform box jumps pylo Boxes can be the right choice for you. This can be stacked and cost less than other wooden boxes. Their disadvantage is that they can only be used with one height.
The competition boxes can be used with multiple height giving you three different configurations for your workouts. An advantage over the
utility seat is that they are standalone and can also be used outside.
The box squat seats are adjustable I’m height depending on the user and can be used without the
flip-down safeties. This makes them ideal for heavy box squats where you still want to have the possibility to squat to a pin.
