Rogue already basically has this exact setup. Buy the racked version of the Rhino, buy a slinger.. Obviously that won't include the pull-up options and trolley arms, but the rest of it is pretty cost friendly. Racked version of the Rhino+slinger attachment is only about 3k. Best set-up Rogue has (cost/space wise) if you don't mind bench/squatting outside the rack IMO.
@@shaftofwisdom Given how smooth the Rhino trolley functions, the only advantages I can see to the lat pulldown are convenience: fixed seat with leg support, quick setup for low rows with more comfortable feet, and weight stack in 10lb increments. Of course, this comes at the cost of thousands of dollars and a giant footprint, not to mention a forklift to get it into your home gym.
This is exactly what I told Rogue to do in a dm a week ago. No Response. Another thing I wanted to do was turn the outside of the rack into a full monolift with the Shrimp Trawler (overhead rack extension), add Spud Inc monolift straps and Monolift j cups.
I had never heard of the shrimp trawler. One of the biggest thing that's made me hesitant about upgrading from a squat stand to a rack, is the fact that I move a ton. So I'd want to get a short (ish) rack, but I don't want to have to buy a whole new rack down the road. I think what I'll do is get the shrimp trawler when I can so I can free-hang doing pullups.
@@FreedomWolfGaming The details when buying the Shrimp Trawler are a bit unclear. Even though in the picture it is extended high above the rack, I think it doesn't come with that. Just with a single arm that extends from the rack. You might want the flying pull up bar or soninex has something similar with band hooks. If you haven't bought a squat stand yet I would buy a yoke instead.
Chris Duffin might be the Mad Scientist of Strength, but Coop is the Mad Scientist of Equipment. You've successfully created Frankenstein's Monster Rack!
Man congratulation !!!! People at Rogue must be shocked with you, they have to copy your adaptation... They will call you for sure, or they will visit you... 👏👏👏👏👏 Loved it... That is a dream rack...
that thing is awesome, I would love to build that for my home gym set up, in my next house.... space limited in my current one. i'd like that part list
This is awesome! It’s exactly what I’ve been planning on putting together. I loved the tease because I was really excited to see the idea I had in physical form before I bought it
I've tinkered with the idea of building a rack for both barbell work and calisthenics movements. I can't wait to see your dip attachment. Most I see for racks are the matador style bars which is great for dips but if I wanted to work on other movements it doesn't work very well. I would prefer seeing parallel bars with enough space to do handstands and l-sit to handstand movements. Maybe I should sit down and use my engineering skills to actually design what I would consider the most versatile power rack.
Rogue rhino with rack + lever arms + leg curls + monster slinger + one top crossmember + multi grip pull-up bar + 2 storage pegs. This setup will cost roughly $4,850 if you go with all rogue stuff. Plus whatever the collegiate legs will cost.
It would be nice if they had a drop in option for just the rhino weight tower and handle. Frame that releases the weights to be used with removable platforms made by black widow that way the interior of the rack could be freed up when you remove the platforms also. It could be used with a rogue squat stand as well for those without much space
The one thing I'd change is instead of having that top crossmember you have the slinger attached to, I'd replace it with attaching it to one of my safety arms on the side holes and put it up there when I want to do tricep pull downs or lat pull downs. That way my pull up bar could be placed right and I wouldn't let the wide grip pull up be effected. Edit: the more I look into it I think the arm would off set sideways and won't work. Nevermind unless anyone see's a way to use it.
Absolutely brilliant. As someone with some pretty debilitating leg issues, this would be absolutely amazing to put together, but yeah, the price tag. 😂😵 Thank you for sharing it.
Coop, any way you could post the parts list on this comment thread for others too see (if not done already) all in for abit of diy for space maximisation and this really is a perfect solution, much appreciated
Yo this is genius!!! I love it now I’m dieting to add this to my home gym. I got the slinger already and it gets annoying putting it on and off. Can you send me the list of what you did to build it please.
How would the drop in rhino fit in the stock Titan Rack without the rogue cross members? Rogue racks seem a little wider than most like Rep or Sorinex.
Would you recommend doing this with one of the other models like the drop in rhino or the one that has a rack attached, or still recommend using the stand alone to build a Frankenstein like this?
Hey Coop. Can you tell me how you attached the freestanding belt squat to your rack? Did you replace the stabilizer feet with crossmembers? Trying to build the ultimate rack like you!
Hey Coop looking to turn my belt squat into a rack, cheaply. Can you send a basic list to accomplish this. Was trying to use 5/8 (ml) posts to allow my other attachments to be compatible.
This looks amazing. I am currently putting together my garage gym and anything with multiple functions is what I want. Having a belt squat and rows all in the same system really got my attention. I want a belt squat and I live by cable rows and lat pulls. Lol
Any solutions you can think of for mounting the slinger lower? I have maybe an inch left of free space in height. This is definitely brilliant how your using the Rhino!
You should just be able attach the left-to-right crossmembers lower on the uprights. Might look slightly strange since the uprights will extend slightly above where the crossmembers attach to them, but shouldn’t affect the functionality.
@@roz77394 so my current config is the Rogue sign crossmember on the back and another crossmember in the front. Your saying lower both crossmembers and get a middle crossmember that I can mount the slinger? Cheers bro for the response! I really want to use this Rhino for lat pull down!!!
@@hismoness23 Yeah that should work. I have the XM-43R pull-up bar as the top crossmember in the back of my rack, and because of the way it attaches to the uprights, the actual crossmember portion of it is a few inches lower than the top of the uprights. So then I just mounted the front left-to-right crossmember (it's just a standard upper crossmember) a little lower so that it was level with the crossmember portion of the XM-43R.
@@roz77394 thank you Brother!!! I was seriously thinking that I was SOL with the slinger option!! Thank you for confirming this configuration - back to the Rogue site for me!! Take care and Thanks again!!
Yeah, but Coop had to set everything up for himself. I mean something like a mix between the rhino and a lat pulldown that attaches on the rack, like rep’s lat pulldown
How is this different than an RM-3 with the drop in rhino? Can someone point out where it’s different and the benefits of doing it this way? Or was the drop in not available when you made this?
@7:17 couldn’t you just use the pull-up bar at the top that you have and attach a single pulley there. Then you’d have a cable with the carabiner on both sides with one being attached to the belt black pulley and the other to your lat pulldown bar?
Coop, any suggestions on a pull-up attachment for Monster Racks? I see you have the Prime one on the front of the rack. I was looking for something similar or something that I can attach in front of the rack. Something more budget friendly than that prime one Ahahah.
Sweet set up. I want one!!! Can this set up work for a 6’8” tall guy? I like the fact you can do so many exercises with a single piece of equipment. Can you break down the costs and parts? Well done!
Ow iam back to square one. Lol Deciding to just buy ares and sell all separate stations to make space for sauna or get pr5000 with selectorized lat pull down plus bully glider to mimic rhino belt squats:) or just get dropin rhino whith spud and keep my ft
do you think its possible to build this rack with rep post + rogue cross members and add the rep athena selectorized in front of this monstrosity? Asking for a friend.....
The Ecoat is honestly one of their best options. Need to get one in to do a review on, but I know it has a similar feel to Zinc, but lasts much longer.
ha i said something similar to my wife. She said what's wrong with a stock M5? Why do you need to "chip" it and buy black rims?? So, I said what happened to the turkey sandwiches?? She said okay now you get 2 slices of turkey on white bread with mayo spread, champ!
