Rogue SML-2C Squat Stand

Pros & Cons

What we like …

• The SML-2 is one of Rogue’s best selling squat racks of all time. The SML-2C has added colors to the original design.
• The steel used on the uprights is 3″x3″ 11-guage that is capable of handling just about any weight. It’s rated for 1,000 LB, but we’re sure it could hold more.
• Every hole and logo is laser-cut, which is vastly superior to the punch that some companies use.
• Due to the standard dimensions of the uprights, the SML-2 can accept any Monster Lite accessory that Rogue makes, which is an extensive list.
• A fat/skinny pull-up bar comes standard with the rack that is coated in textured black powder-coat.
• The base of the frame is deep enough that kipping pullups can be done on the rack if weighted down with sandbags or plates.
• The SML-2 comes with a lifetime warranty and is made in the USA of US-sourced steel.
• There’s no requirement to bold down the rack to the floor to use, meaning it can go in any garage or room in your home without major modifications.

What needs improvement …

• The rack does rock with kipping pull-ups and toes to bar if not weighted down.
• The SML-2 doesn’t come with spotter arms standard, which we’d suggest for anyone planning to bench alone. Seriously, do not bench alone without a spotter or spotter arms.
• The squat stand style that the SML-2 isn’t as versatile as a power rack.
