What else to consider from Rogue
Overview of RML 390F
The
Rogue RML 390F is an option from
Rogue that does not need
to be bolted
to the floor. You will get a half
rack for a reasonable price
which can be placed anywhere from your garage,
to one of the spare bedrooms or in the corner of an already established gym. It comes in black is manufactured in Columbus, Ohio.
The
390F weighs in at 295LB with a length of 48'', a width of 49'' and a height of 92.375''. Note that because of the extra beams at the bottom it is slightly higher than the average 90.375'' from
Rogue. It comes with Westside Hole spacing and ships with a Single Skinny or a Fat/Skinny pull up bar, band pegs, and J Cups. The stell notes come in 3x3'' for the uprights and 2x3'' for the bases. With this
rack, you are entering the Monster lite series of
Rogue and the accessories available in there.
Pros of the RML 390F
This rack is easy to install and light. With this, it can be added to any kind of floor that you do not want to drill into. This can be especially beneficial when a gym already has been outfitted or your landlord does not allow for these alterations to be made. With this, you are set up and ready to go in no time, while it will also take up little space.
Cons of the RML 390F
As this is a small
rack and it won't be bolted down
to the floor it is not ideal for any extreme exercises. If you kip like a beserker or regularly throw 400 pounds or more around you might want
to get a
rack that is either bigger if you don't bolt it down or a smaller
rack that can be bolted down
to the floor. You will also have
to think about where
to store your
plates as on the
rack itself might not leave you with the best experience due
to lack of space.
Alternatives to the RML 390F
The
RML 390C would be an alternative
to add color
to your life. It has roughly the same dimensions as the flat foot and can be bolted
to the ground. The price is higher, but you will get a good
rack in your choice of color.
If you don't want to increase the budget and prefer to have a rack that can be bolted to the ground for extra stability the RML3 might be the right choice for you. It comes in at roughly the same price and has also less height. This might also be a better solution if you have a low ceiling.
The RM 390F is the big brother of the RML 390F. This is the monster version of this rack. If you want to build on your investment and upgrade your rack over time, this is the option for you. There will be more upgrades available for the Monster series than for the Monster Lite is Rogue focuses on the higher price tag items first to push the portfolio forward.
The
T2 comes with 2x2 steel tubes and distinguished itself from the
X2 line by having fewer extras straight out of the box. You will have fewer pull-up bars and less convenience on the uprights. The money saved for this can be put towards a bench as in this package. This version also includes a dip installment at the front. The features and specifics of this package are:
The dip bar can obstruct access to the rack itself. You will also not be able to use the front to have two athletes squat in parallel on the same rack. This might not be ideal, especially in high school and college setups strapped for cash.
If you care about a dip bar, this is the rack. Otherwise, you might as well save the money for more plates or a bench.
