The Rogue Rhino Belt Squat is Rogue Fitness' first foray into belt squats and in typical Rogue fashion, they went all out. Rogue partnered with Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell to create an affordable cable-based belt squat that in our testing, is the best value belt squat we've tested. We highly recommend the Rogue Rhino Belt Squat to anyone wanting a belt squat with a lot of variety at a surprisingly affordable price (compared to a lot of the competition.)

I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B
Damn it, now I want one.
Haha it exceeded my expectations.
You gotta get the drop in one when you buy your next monster rack
Can't wait for a review. Ordering my 490 and whole gym today. Was not sure if I should spring for the new trolly .I figure I can wait for your review then hope for free shipping on Black Friday.
@@andie_pl drop forces your rack to essentially be used as a half rack... If have rm 6 not sure why you'd do that. The banshee allows it to be used as a full rack and rhino without any loss of function. The drop in sounds more appealing than it is... Saves minimal bucks and limits functionality... Glad I got the standalobe. It's very beefy but fairly compact. I think can fit most home gyms fine unless you got like half a one car garage or something very small. A power rack and rhino will fit a one car garage very easily.
Hi, looking forward to your Squatmax-MD review. Would you recommend it? Thanks
The value of your reviews is to showcase equipment I would never have known about. TY
You're welcome!
I use this page pretty often when looking to purchase equipment for my athletes. This was super helpful. Thanks!
Anyone else coming back to Coop’s older reviews and being scarred by the lack of the dadstache?
Yep thats me, where's mustache?
I've used both. That 1:1 ratio is great, but it's harder to get in and out of it.
The pit shark is about a 1.5-2:1 ratio, but it's better to get in and out of.
Really appreciate this review man! 👌💯✌️
✊🏼
Umm you should be a product developer and tester for Rogue. When it comes to product knowledge and knowing what people are looking for, you do such awesome job with your reviews.
Thank you, maybe someday!
He is.... just not on payroll :p
Agree! 100%
Thank you for this video. I keep seeing it at my gym and no one uses it so I didn't know how to use it. I'm definitely going to use it more!
Coops can you review the ATX belt squat machine?
Great review! What handles are you using at 5:45 and have you ever used PRIME RO-T8 Handles or the TrakHandle Sport from Trak fitness? I'm looking into getting good handles for a functional trainer but not sure what to get. Thanks for the videos!
My gym just got one and I love it!
Great review!!! I've been using mine for about a week and love it. I had to bolt mine to the ground because it was shimmed using the rack shims from Rogue.
Glad to hear you like it as well.
Awesome device. Haven't bolted mine yet but think I will...
Thanks for the review Coop! Question, did you have any issues putting the shaft into the lever arm hinges? The part where you put the cylinder shaft through the lever hinges through the lever arms. I couldn't get the shaft all the way through even after loosening the set screws
I will buy one. In the process of building my Gym but limited by space we will see. Great review
Nice review as usual. Would also be curious to hear your thoughts on the sorinex single lever arm belt squat option.
Hoping to review it as well!
No offense to sorinex fans but that looks like a half assed design to say the least. And while it looks cheap if you don't have the jammer arms already it's almost the Cost of the rhino and with sorinex terrible shipping I'm sure it's way more
Hi Coop, are you planning on getting the new Titan lat pull down to review? was waiting before I pull the trigger. Great review
Yep, it's been ordered.
I have one the belt rolls on my hip bones a little but hands down best thing I ever bought for my gym
Agree outside a power rack most versatile thing ever. Well dbs and a adjustable bench too
We got ours together yesterday. Like Coop says it is awesome. Big fan of using it banded. If using it unbolted only secure the belt while standing on the platform. Putting the belt on and stepping up can cause instability and rocking at higher weight. We also attached J hooks to the front to do RDLs today. DB Push press was brutal with bands and some horn weight.
Agreed. Only had it set up for a day at home but awesome overall. Did try some Romanian dl on it. Would love to see a list of things thag can be done so far I've tried regulsr belt squats, cable rows with mag grips seated, standing bent over, one arm cable rows various angles, cable curls and shrugs. All have been great.
Curious how you like it now years later?@@Pler1978
Interesting and good video. I didn't even know these existed.
I bought on in September. Still waiting. But I'm really anxious for it to arrive.
I really enjoyed this review! My local gym JUST got this same unit and I am loving it! I feel like I can squat again because I had to give it up due to my disc issues. One question though...when performing the movement does one need to be that much bent over or should they try to be tall when coming out of the hole? I'm noticing, in the video, that you look almost bent over.
Again...great video!!!!!
awesome review Coop. Did you get one of the 50 cal trolley & lever arm kits yesterday?
Matt Seldin I certainly did, just moments before it all sold out.
Yes, I did!
Great review man.
Thank you!
Damn this one looks great. My gym is getting one this month can't wait to try it.
@Jo H I think it's great
Will you review the belt squat md, wenning belt squat, and bells of steel belt squat?
Great review. I've been a little bit of a naysayer when it comes to belt squats in a home gym, but being able to do a variety of other exercises makes it a much more viable option.
I'd love to see you review the new Titan 300lb stack lat pulldown machine.
Yep, ordered!
It's worth for a home gym jsit for the belt squat. Cheap for a high end leg machines and takes up no space really.
Another great review on what looks like an amazing a versatile piece of gear. Also, you would’ve hit that max rep if your mustache was in effect.
How true that is!
My £360 Amazon power rack has central low and high pulley. A Reebok step on each side of the low pulley puts the mid foot over the pulley wheel. The sides of the rack are perfect support handles and two ratchet straps looped over the top of the rack and on to the loading pins provide the ideal starting and unloading position. Guess I've just saved $1,700 dollars and 6x5 feet of space then.
I have the powertec leverage gym, how can I replicate this on my machine? I'm thinking I would have to have something custom built?
Coop have you tried the bells of steel belt squat or the wenning strength? I know that one is expensive, but wondered how they compared.
Followed instructions, bolted down rig, johnson is stuck in cable pull, please advise.
Just got done using the belt squat. I have a few questions...
-I could not get the belt to stop rubbing on my inner thighs. Any suggestions?
-it seemed like the trolley was rubbing while squatting. Any suggestions?
if ever have a contest to give one away.. lol thats a beauty for sure.. thanks for the review. want to save up for something like this
Where did you get the Spud Inc belt? I have the original but the length is too long and it’d be nice to have one belt that can be easily adjusted for others training with me. I don’t see it at Spud inc or Rogue.
Hey Coop, any chance you can compare and test different types of Barbell Collars , you can also make one video about grip strength implements
Great idea!
Just ordered it.
Did you see the T2 leg press addon? Id like to see if its worth getting.
Hey Coop how about having an equipment craigslist like classifieds page on your website? Segment by location because it can be hard finding the used stuff. Also a review of the TSS Glute Ham combo? Seems like a great deal for $845 considering the Rogue GHD is like $545- $695 and Reverse Hypers are $795-$895
That would be really cool!
In regards of the 2x3 upright and and the rhino jcup, just wondering if it would’ve been slightly better if Rogue use a regular 3x3 48” upright and regular jcup that way it can accommodate taller people.
Any thoughts on doing sumo squats on this? Or another comparable variation?
I love mine!
Hey coop I’m a year late but do you own the drop in one? I’m wondering if it takes a lot of space inside the rack. Pls pls let Me know thanks
Did you ever review the SquatMax? I don’t see it on your channel
@GarageGymReviews
What are your thoughts on the Hammer Strength Belt Squat?
The sticker comment had me dying. Every time I get a new piece of Rouge equipment, I wonder the same thing.
How about a review of the bells of steel belt squat vs the squatmax MD? I dont have that much room, think the Rogue is too big and mounting it in the rack makes the rack otherwise useless. Then there is cost too.
Coop what about the j squat Sorinex what would you buy if they both cost almost the same ship to home j squat shipped is like 1700 and rhino is 2000 dollars which one would you buy and why
I’m noticing the cable is bottoming out right when you reach parallel. Is there any adjustability for shorter and taller people?
That’s true but for $1800 there should be some way to adjust the cable or the weight post to accommodate taller and shorter athletes.
Seemed to me like he had an extra carabiner attached to the belt that would limit the ROM.
Yes, that's just because of where I had the carabiner attached. It could go higher.
same page boss! awesome review as always
If shortening the cable doesn’t work for you like it doesn’t for my friend you could always place some bumper plates under your feet to allow you to squat lower.
Can you use the low cable of a lat pulldown attachment in a squat rack as a belt squat?
Excellent review! Does the Rhino belt squat machine force you to squat with a more vertical posture, or are you able to push your hips back in a more powerlifting style squat if you choose?
Can do it either way just fine.
it looks like if you push your hips back you don't have a vertical cable anymore, looks like its pulling you at an angle. Some people had mentioned to me that it puts knee sheering no matter where you stand:( I have a bad knee and this is what's preventing me from getting rhino and the loading on vertical pin is preventing me from getting squat max. I guess nothing its perfect. lol. don't know which one to get yet
I have this in my gym and was wondering wtf it was and how to use it just searched it and now I’m aware lol just ending my leg day so I will try it next time lol
Awesome vid Coop , im buying the rack version
Wish you had a video on that one lol
That's a sweet option.
What if you are a really big guy and need a bigger belt. What is th belt adjustable too or are there extensions or larger belt to buy?
When I use this the belt hurts my lower back. How can I fix that ?
Don’t use the belt
Coop, which one is better? This one or the squat max md?
Would the drop in attachment be compatible with the REP fitness PR-5000 V2 @GarageGymReviews
I already own a titan selectorized lat pull down, a selectorized funcional trainer and foldable titan rack also a stray dog goat with all the attachments.. Do you prefer the squat max over the rogue rhino? I was about to buy squat max but they don't have any financing as with the rhino I can pay $1000 and the rest in 6 payments without any interest. I kindda like the squat max better because it's smaller than rhino and cheaper. However, it looks quite large compared to squat max??
Pit Shark? Have one. Pretty well built and designed.
Frankly think this is a far better design. Pit shark an original but find the leverage and feel alot better on the rhino. Only used the pit shark once and not extensively.
Have you used the pitshark? What's you opinion the comparing the two.
Hoping to do an in-depth comparison on that unit.
Garage Gym Reviews sweet looking forward to it. Thank you. I currently use the pit shark
Look at the leverage, the pitshark will be a plate hog. Not a 1::1 ratio of plates added to resistance felt.
Bryce Lee I dont have a plate issue so that's not a problem in my case
@@norwaydbp Yeah I measured the one at my gym and measuring from hole 2, the one I use for my height and foot position, the actual weight is about 50% of the loaded weight. The machine itself weighs 50 lbs empty. I love the machine but when I build my own gym I'd definitely at least consider getting one that is a 1:1 ratio. If you have the plates it isn't a big deal because the horns are more than big enough to accommodate super high weight and that is before considering the fact it also has band pegs but you need a lot of plates.
Sold 😎 gonna get one shipped to Thailand
im torn between this and the westside ATP. main goal is belt squats. the ATP is definitely more robust but not sure i need to spend twice as much and have it take up twice as much room. have you ever used the ATP before? the cable mechanism on the rhino does look superior but not sure. also the floor looks more solid on the ATP, the rhino moves a little and there is some give, i really DESPISE that kind of stuff. it needs to be solid as STEEL
Why does my damn inner thigh rub against the belt so much. Shit is painful. Am I placing it wrong?
Coop, did I hear you right, did you say "I can't get it up"? ;) Great review!
Hahahaha
Can someone that has bought this machine for there home , how was it delivered? How many boxes and how big were the boxes. I’m asking because I have this machine being delivered in a few days and I don’t have help to get it from the dropped at curbside to my apartment building lobby. I have a flat sturdy hand cart.
mine comes tomorrow.
Need some advice does the Rhino pull you forward a bit compared to Squat Max? Any knee pain issues due to this or those who have it like it? I keep going back and forth but for calf raises like the Rhino better, not planning on doing marches but its better I saw a guy squat down pick up slam ball and slam it down looks good for cardio and Rhino better for lunges. I suspect I might do one arm rows on it vs loading up my Baadass dumbell which takes too long.
Anybody buy the Rhino and regret it, LOVE it?
Question, do your inner quad hurt when you are finished?
I wonder if I purchased some j cups and the rogue bolt together bench and chopped 7” off one leg of the bench; if it would make a decent bench rack?
Checked with rogue. The most you could remove from one leg before altering the gussets is 5-1/2” so I would have to raise the other end of the bench by 1-1/2”
Yeah, may end up working.
Please review the Donkey, Coop.
Just ordered mine in Aug.2020 after waiting months and months because of the storages from COVID-19. I should have mine in 4 weeks
Have you received yet / how do you like it?
frick man, just. moved into a new house and now im trying to build out myself a gym in my basement.. I'm seriously wanting this belt squat with a monster rack and trolley arms, slinger, all the crossmembers, shipping and tax, this is going to turn into a like 10K piece of equipment.. plus, i am a bit ceiling limited.. with a slinger on top, i would need it to be like 84" or something.. should i pull the trigger?
Coop have you tested the pit shark , curious how this compares ?
Shawn S I think it’s way overpriced and the leverages aren’t right. For example my training partner can squat just over 400 lbs but can load 700 lbs on the pit shark and do reps. He actually ended up with bruising around his hips from the belt because he had to load so much weight on. I think a good belt squat should be closer to rogues and Wenning’s model and be closer to 1 to 1.
@@darrellgrant7615 pit shark is crap.
I missed everything in this video passed your 465 lb squat. I’d honestly love to see that my friend.
Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/wVLq_dWuDx0/v-deo.html
The Wenning belt squat is amazing I've used all the one you said and the Wenning is by far the best, that cable will eventually wear out and md is like 2 ft off the damn ground
yeah but isnt the cable being directly below you superior in tractioning the spine and helping align the pelvis and such? the lever arms still pulls you forward. dont see how i could spend money on that when i could just use a proloc on a landmine barbell and stand on 2 blocks.
also with wennings belt squat, you can only do so much. comparing that to the rogue rhino isnt apples to apples either because wenning wants $4k shipped. this rhino with spotter arms to do rack pulls shipped to CA is $2300. you can compare the wenning to the ATP. can you make that comparison?
@@JasonSmith-fu6oi first you can buy wrong if you want...and yes the cable is pulling straight down but that's the down fall, its not a true squat...you can do just as much (put different grips ect on wenning as you can all others. If you want go cheap and buy wrong. Check it was out on UA-cam
@@Ereyner426 definitely dont want to go cheap and buy wrong but also dont have a way to try out all these different machines either. im also looking at buying other westside barbell stuff like reverse hyper which alone is $2600, and an inverse curl at $2600 for my hamstrings since its pointless to get a GHD if you cant really do them properly. i did get a quote from wenning, they want 4k shipped. even more than the westside ATP. the wenning one was really high on my list until others starting mentioning the benefits of the cable beneath you, like louie simmons.
@@JasonSmith-fu6oi not sure where you are located, but I know it's not 4k, not sure about the ATP or inverse curl, you can find gyms that have the equipment you want to try at a gym it just takes effort by you and the internet + phone + your eyeballs
@@Ereyner426 dont talk about effort with me bro, i make a damn good living because i studied something most people would never attempt to do.. that being said, it isnt a matter of effort. i cant just go find someone who has all this equipment without travelling hundreds if not thousands of miles to try to find someone who has all the pieces of equipment especially in these COVID times, you kidding me bro. and if you havent noticed because maybe you were too lazy yourself, the wenning is $3200 BEFORE shipping. add $782 freight you're at $4000.....
oh and by the way gyms dont have any fuckin inverse curls laying around. good luck finding that or a westside reverse hyper. i dont want rogue's, its not the same
What about the belt, the one I have at my gym is so huge for my waist and can’t be adjusted as a female. Any tips?
Let’s buy one!
Is this better than a leg press from powertec?
Coop! I need you to get a 50 cal LT-1 trolley and lever arm kit and review it!
Got one on the way!
That’s why Coop is awesome! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
yea I was thinking about getting the rhino belt squat plus rack..the rack it's 24" but it looks like there is only about 4-5 inches of space from the front uprights ato the rhino platform on floor..i don't see how I can do incline, decline using a bench outside of rack? Right now I have a prx wall rack and when I do decline and incline bench I have to move the bench back about 13 inches so I can bench..I don't think I will be able to bench outside this rack with rhino built in to it:(
I emailed rogue and they said that not even the 30" rack will work with a bench outside since it only has about 6-9 inches of space in the front:( so I don't know what they ment by me been able to lift outside of rack without a bench. Lol..
Iam I supoused to bench, incline, decline standing up without bench. Lol I don't know what's the purpose of them selling it with rack if I can't really use rack not even outside of it?
Are belt squats an accessory lift or a replacement for back squats all together?
Do both
How to replace the cable?? Just got one, but the skin of the cable has been off since day one. it's ok to use, but not as expected. Does Rogue provide any guide and fix package for the cable replacement?
I'm sure they do... They dont advertise that sort of thing. Must have not set it up right... Or gotten faulty cable... The roller prevent fraying I'm sure eventually but can't imagine for a very long time or In home setting maybe never
What about the ATX belt squat? It’s a different design than most belt squats out there. Looks very simple and versatile.
Haven't used that one yet.
Can you review the rogue pit shark
How do you put it into a rack?
"I'm planning on taking it apart and putting it into Iraq"
Bold plan
Haha
I’m 5’2”, how do I adjust the middle cable ?
How does this machine compare with the Pit Shark? Do you think the savings from the Rogue Rhino belt squat make it more valuable or is the Pit Shark worth the extra money? I am in the market for a Belt Squat and narrowed my scope to these two items. Your thoughts? Anyone?
I have rhino in home gym wouldn't want the pit shark.... Poor design imo.
I need it..
Coop! What happened to the squat max md review?
I believe he has a review on the GGR site
Westside ATP is terrible in every single consideration. In fact I almost wrote off all belt squats based on my experience with the unit at my gym. Nice review of the Rogue unit. Thanks.
Maybe I'm crazy but I hate hate hate the way the belt pulls me forward. It just feels incredibly awkward at anything but silly light weights personally.
Coop! What do you think of body solid? I feel like they are a good home gym brand.
Hampus Brydling I have their power rack, works good enough but no options for it and the j-hooks suck. You can find other j-hooks for it. I'll say that body solid does make good products that rogue or titan don't make like pec decs, leg extension, preacher curl, leg press, hack squats.
David Iron Necklace I have a few things from body solid and I feel like they make good stuff. I do agree that their power racks could be better. For example the power rack I own (GPR378) has a design flaw where the post that is on the ground is located right were your feet is when you unrack the squat. It's no big deal because you can easily work around it, but it is a little annoying.
Another thing about body solid is that not a lot of people from the states talk about it, is this because people prefer other brands? I feel like body solid has pretty good prices.
Hampus Brydling I have the same rack. Because of that I always squat outside of the rack. I'm not sure why they dont get more recognition in the gym space. For the most part they make great products. Plus its American made chicago.
You can put the j-hooks on the opposite side of the rack and still squat inside
www.google.se/search?q=body+solid+gpr378+j+hooks&rlz=1C1MSIM_enSE698SE698&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj4oIH8qJXeAhWEVSwKHfi3CwEQ_AUIDigB&biw=1920&bih=969#imgrc=6rpYPUMYzZg9BM:
If its what you can afford... Then that's what you can work with but very home gym quality. Big difference from rogue and alot of the stuff doesn't seem to be a ton cheaper really.
Can you review the pit shark.
wheres the squatmax md video? i searched it on the channel and couldn't find anything😩
How does the drop in work? Do you then pull it out when you want to use your rack for bench, etc?
No it's stays on the area where you'd normally store weights on an rm6 so can't store weights easily on the rack anymore. Once it's in its in can't really move it in and out at all.
@@Pler1978 How does it affect plate storage on the RM-6? It looks like i would still be able to put plate pegs on the outside of the back posts just fine? Or am i missing something?
Is the belt squat more beneficial than regular squat? And another thing I'm thinking of purchasing but wonder if I should just get the rack as well..if so am I able to do bench and incline? Hard to see in the pics if I would be able to. Thanks!
The belt squat remove the tension in you're lower back, if you can buy a squat rack and with the pins you can build a belt squat
@@bapt526 no it's not remotely comparable... Night and day difference.
bely squat is more a bodybuilding movement where you can take the tension off your lower back and have more on your legs. It can also be an ok accessory for powerlifting but it depends on your training style.
anybody used a kbox or kratos flywheel for belt squats and lunges? How does it compare to rhino belt squat? I am not a powerlifter just lift to have lean muscle and for jujitsu training and aesthetics. I have a bad knee do to sports (arthritis) so maybe kbox or kratos will be better?
what was wrong with the monster lat pull down and is it still wrong because i plan on buying one
They had some issues with the pulley's. It's since been addressed and fixed.
My gym has one of these, if this is the best, then I REALLY don't like belt squats. Really awkward to use with heavy weight, and really scraps up my thighs.
