It’s main use case is for powerlifters. Compared to a
Monster Slinger you get very limited use cases out of this piece of equipment.
Alternatives to the Rogue Adjustable monolift

LT1 50 cal lever arms are probably the most versatile addition you can make to a rack. You also use it as a
monolift among other applications. The downside is that it is about 4 times the price of the
monolift.
The
combo rack would be the ideal solution for lifters to prepare for a real-time powerlifting event. The Rogue combo rack simulates the setup in most IPF competitions the closest. If you want raw powerlifting at your home the combo rack is the way to go.

What else to consider from Rogue
Overview of the flying pull up bar
The
flying pull up bar is a great tool to train upper body strength and athletic prowess. The rings of the
flying pull up bar can be adjusted at different instances. This will enable you or your athletes to train explosiveness and eye to hand coordination while working on grip and their upper body. The specifications of the
flying pull up bar for the Monster rig are:
This is a great addition to your home gym of your ceilings are high enough. It is also a tool for more advanced athletes. If you only have beginners there might be better investments to put your money into like a sled or medicine balls.
Pros of the flying pull up bar
This is well thought through addition to any existing monster rack to take your pull-ups to the next level. Without taking up the space of a full ninja warrior obstacle course you can simulate many different climbing scenarios with a few extra attachments. You can also use the flying pull up bar to add some height to make your gymnastics rings a more effective tool for muscle-ups and other movements.
Cons of the flying pull up bar
This attachment is for advanced athletes and takes some extra space. You will be hard-pressed to fit it in many garage, basement and garden gyms or it will add considerable cost to the built. For a first-time gym outfitting, there are defiantly better attachments and equipment to invest your money in to cater to many needs.
Alternatives to the flying pull up bar
The infinity and Monster lite
flying pull up bars do essentially the same as the monster version, just for the respective rogue series of racks. You will save a little coat and be able to attach it to the rack you already own or purchase with the attachment.
The
Crown Pull up bar is an alternative to vary your training and especially focus on grip strength. While the
crown will not help as much with explosive strength it gives you many setups to use. It also does not add to the height of your rack and can, therefore, be installed in more environments. As it is level it is also more beginner-friendly and therefore a better fit for first time outfittings.
The
Rogue Monster Slinger is an attachment to the Rogue rack which can be used for cable and pulley work. This will be a versatile tool for beginners and pros alike. It also comes at a fraction of the cost of the
flying pull up bar so you might be able to equip three racks with some extra toys rather than just one.
Summary for the flying pull up bar
The Rogue
flying pull up bar is a great addition to your first rack purchase or existing setup if you are an advanced athlete yourself or have many advanced athletes in your gym. If you are a beginner maybe hold off on this item in the beginning and go for a
crown pull up bar or
Slinger instead depending on your style of training.
