OMG THANK YOU. The instructions that came with this are garbage. 6 steps. To do this whole thing. You're a lifesaver!
Awesome, glad it helped! Thanks
Nice job and thanks so much for sharing your great video! Ordered ours a couple of weeks ago and the rest is being delivered this week. Cant say enough about the support from the Rogue team..Outstanding customer service. Be Safe and Be Healthy!
Thanks! Yea rogue is an awesome company with great CS!
Just got mine this week! Excited to put it together. If you get any additions to the rack please share a video on it! Like you, I plan on adding more to it. Any reviews sure would help.
How is it??
Hey bro. Get you some earth magnets at Home Depot or Lowes to find those studs. Get the super strong earth magnets. Run it over you wall an you’ll feel it pull when you cross a Sheetrock nail. Note there’s only one big stud in my house :-)
Excellent video, just set mine up today in my garage.
Awesome set up....I too am waiting for my rogue rm390f😁.
About to buy this... thank you for the video!
It’s a great rig, you’ll love it.
Thanks for the video bro, it helped me with my set-up.
Awesome, thanks for the support!
Good instructional and looks great in your space!
Man it’s gonna suck loading them plates on that far window. It’s gonna be tight squeeze with a bar length
idw85 we will find out, hoping rogue sends me some weights soon! 😭
I am in the same situation. I have the rack but don't have a bar to get a feel how much room I have from the window.
@@vvilliamluk i got all my bars and plates in, its not bad at all. I am going to do an update here shortly..
Thanks for posting, definitely very helpful!
what is the distance from the bottom the bottom stringer to the bottom of the top stringer?
Hello, I can measure when I get home.
Thanks for the video! Can anyone let me know how's the post secured to the floor when they can also swing and folded? Thanks,
If I were to mount the stringers to wood 2 x12”, do you see that as enough room for toes to bar or kipping pull-ups? If it won’t give enough room, then I won’t do it.
Thank you for the video! Just got mine and ordered the wrong depth and can’t fold into itself. Considering cutting the arms myself rather than shipping and waiting. Does anyone know if the 21.5” arms are actually 21.5”? The 41.5” arms are actually 40”.
Super helpful, thanks. Do the post scrape across your floor when folding in or out? Looking to install but want to use rubber mats while working out to protect floors.
Thank you, and they come with hard plastic caps for the posts. Kind of like furniture sliders.
How do you get it to be stable?! I put mine together today and it’s not very stable. I have it installed over 1”foam tiles and thinking that might be it
Is 21.5 deep enough to do inclined bench press the same way you have it(facing away from the wall) without having to reach too far back for the bar?
i want to put mine in the garage, but the concrete goes up the wall 11.5 inches. i know the stringers are about 10 inches tall, do you think the bottom one would mount to the concrete ok?
How are the 2 x main vertical bars sat in relation to the floor? Surely they have to sit deep enough to not move when taking weight, but also not deep enough so that you can fold them away? Especially on softer rubber flooring?? Assume when unfolded out there is some give in the back mechanics to enable it to drop slightly when taking weight?
Exactly, there’s a hard plastic foot cap that allows it to slide decently along with slight slack in the joint to allow it to take weight.
i bought this rack second hand in awesome condition! I was hoping you could help me out with the measurement height for installing the stringers, please!
I will update tomorrow with measurements
Edmon Jiddou thank you so much that would be a huge help!
Edmon Jiddou I know you probably have a lot going on! Hopefully you haven’t forgotten about me!
Also types of bolts used to mount the rack mounts to the header? Those aren’t included with the rack itself.
Lance Henkel all hardware is included with the rack, stringer lag bolts as well.
@@EdmonJiddou Interesting - I have the same setup but my stringers did not come with the lag bolts. Guess they forgot to throw that in the box before shipping. Ugh
bkarlisch they should be in a separate white box with the hardware, contact rogue they are good about making it right.
Hello, can you tell me the stringers' distance from the floor? Bottom stringer and top stringer. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. Ordered mine. waiting for the delivery. Quick question: Is the side orange hook (where you hanged the pull up bar) included in the package?
The orange hooks are from Home Depot, they have many types, just found one that worked with the bars.
nice grey shade of paint on your wall, you got a link for it? My rack is delivery today, cant wait thanks for the review and tips
Jimmy A thanks man! Ill have to dig for the paint code.
Anyone have a good solution for the rattling of metal on metal, particularly the pull-up bar? You mentioned rubber grommets in the video, how did that turn out? Informative video, thanks!
I ended up wrapping the long bolts in a layer of electrical tape, seemed to settle the rattle down a bit.
Great video. Mine just came in and I'm so excited. You mentioned that the lower stringer can be moved higher in 2 in increments but I'm wondering to what height. I have a baseboard and an outlet and cable Jack. There isn't enough space between them. If I was to go above the outlet and Jack they top out at 15 inches. Is that too high up the wall to start the bottom of the lower stringer? My only other option is to move the outlet and Jack or just cover it with the stringer. Thanks for your advice!
Rogue finally got back to me - for anyone that is interested they said to keep the lower stringer below 24"
Good info and yes, 2 feet is about as high as I would mount it.
@@anastasiajahadi4874 I have searched high and low for this answer. Thanks you
Question for you..can't find any instructions online....for the bottom stringer, is the height adjustable? I have a 7in concrete footer in my garage that my walls sit on, so what looks like a 2-3in from floor like in your home isn't going to work, but I can't tell if the stringers can be mounted in different heights?
You can set the lower stringer higher than I did, just ensure the arms are sitting on the ground and not putting all the load on the wall.
Just came across your video, because I just purchased the same rig for the same reason. You mention that you were doing some upgrades to the rig especially with the noise and that you were going to put from rubber grommets. Have you done so if can you help I want to do the same the grommets I got kept break off. Thank you content.
So when you fold it in and back out again, are you dragging the legs against your floor? I'd want the unit flush/plum but if you're able to pull it out then wouldn't the front slough, causing weight added to eventually be pulling/tugging at the bolts attached to the wall? **Sorry if you mentioned this I don't have audio
Yes, so the bottom of the towers have a hard plastic foot that acts similar to furniture sliders, it supports a share of the weight so the wall isn't being asked to support 100%.
@Edmon Jiddou What happens if my floor is not perfectly level? Would I be able to make slight adjustments to make sure that those beams make good contact with the ground?
Ryan Eads that’s a good question, I know people install these in garages when the floor is sloped downward...I am not exactly sure the solution for that.
Thanks for the feedback!
Great setup. I'm particularly interested in the hardware you use to hang your pull up bar when not in use. Can you tell me what that is / where you got it? Also, did you ever follow-through with the plastic / rubber grommets to reduce the metal-on-metal clanging noise? I'm about to install my RML-3W and that sounded quite appealing (especially since I workout at night after kids go to bed). Thanks!
Hey and thanks for the comments,
1) the wall hangers are just from Home Depot, (orange hangers) and I think are for tools and bikes etc..they work great.
2) I ended up wrapping the bolts with heavy duty Teflon tape so they had tighter tolerance, it definitely cut down on slack and the noise about 50%.
how tall is the pull up bar? Do you have the stringer? and is yours the 21 or 41inches?
I noticed that you installed one pillar before mounting the top stringer.. Why didn't you just measure the bottom edge of the top stringer to 70.437 inch from the ground per the instructions?
You have the ability to mount the top stringer 4”+ or - to account for ceiling height etc, I wanted mine to clear the pull-up bar. The instructions call for the standard height which I altered for my lower stringer.
@@EdmonJiddou Got it, thanks man!
Thanks for the helpful video. My rack just arrived and I’m sure it will help. What is the brand of flooring?
Great video. Can the bottom stringer be mounted higher? I have a protrusion at the base of my wall that's 12 inches high. I want to make sure I can clear that.
As long as it’s under 2 feet your good.
@@EdmonJiddou Thanks!
I wonder if I have enough space my ceiling is 92🤔🤔
Thanks for the review. Is it possible to add the Angel security arms?
Nice video. Thanks for Posting. I like your floor Mats. Could you please share where you got it and how is it holding up the weights?
Tractor supply, $40 each, they hold up great!
Hey Edmon, I am trying to find these mats, any chance you could share more info on those? Your video is so helpful, thank you!
Thanks for the video! How tall are your ceilings? We only have 8 ft so I'm wondering if we'll have enough clearance to use the pull-up bar.
8 foot, 96” it fits fine and still allows for pull ups. Although it limits muscle ups but I can’t do those anyways haha
Edmon, Thanks for the great video! Rogue should hire you. Is the rack supported entirely off the wall or does it rest on the floor and transmit vertical load to the floor? If the load does go to the floor, do the verticals move down to rest on the floor when you rotate them out from the wall?
Thank you! And yes exactly, the load is supported through the uprights as well as the wall stringers.
I have the exact same question!
@@EdmonJiddou My question is that if the leg touch down to the floor, it must lift up a bit to fold back to the wall right? Like doors have undercut for swing motion.
Does the molding at the bottom give any issues when you have to mount the stringer?
What a setup! Nice! Your bedroom upstairs or ground level?
Thanks for the upload 🙏🏻
Thanks! This is built on my upstairs, works out just fine. 👍🏼
Great setup, very clean! Do you think there is enough depth for performing kipping pull ups and toes to bar? I know Rogue recommends 41.5” for these movements but I’m still contemplating if 21.5” would be sufficient so I can save some space.
No I would say there’s not enough room for those movements, unless performed away from wall...but even then it would be close.
What is the measure between the bottom stringer and top stringer? I have a 6 foot mirror will this fit in front it? How much clearance below the mirror would I need to install bottom stringer? Thx in advance
where did you get that wall mount for the bench?
Home Depot sells all kinds of garage mounts, I think this one was for a bike rack.
Hey awesome vid how many clips do you have to clip when folding and unfolding
Great video thanks for posting, did opt for the 21.5" or 41.5" version. Any trouble with space when bench pressing? Thanks again!
No issue at all, rogues recommends 42” arms if you plan on doing Kipping pull-ups or other “gymnastic” movements
not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last days :)
@Jaziel Paxton Yup, have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :D
Do you have enough space to do incline bench press ?? From the uprights to the wall. Thanks
Yes plenty of space, the 48” version is for gymnastic type movements like kipping pull ups etc. the short version is just fine.
You mentioned you are getting a large mirror to put on the wall behind your squat rack. Any suggestions where to purchase or do you recommend the one you got?
Thanks for making this video, Edmon. How much did it take you to assemble and install the rack?
What kind of bench did you get? And do you like it? Thank uou
It’s a bowflex adjustable, got a good deal on it and yes it works great.
Hey Edmon! Great video. I'm trying to understand how high the top stringer needs to be from the ground? Or is that variable (e.g. I can place them anywhere so long as I can do my movements in them?). I purchased this but realize I have windows lining the garage and I'm worried that they take up the space the stringers need to be positioned. Thanks!
I have the same question
Hey great video, I purchased the same product and am getting ready to set it up myself. I do have a question, when the posts are folded out into the open position do the feet of the posts rest on the ground? If they do rest on the ground, do they drag when you open the posts up?
I have been wondering the same thing. Have had mine sitting on the floor of the garage of 2 weeks now and finally trying to get it going, but I am concerned about this also. Another video I watched said the bottom bracket needs to be 4 inches from the floor (not the string itself, but the actual bracket part).
Did you stick to the measurements on the paper by starting the bottom stringer at 1 and 5/16th from the ground?
No I did not use the given rogue measurements because I had obstructions like floor trim. Even rogue states you can raise or lower the stringer height 2”.
How far apart do the studs have to be??? What’s the length of the stringer? 4 studs total? Good video man.
Studs are typically 16” on center, ROGUE would like you to hit 4 studs preferably.
Thanks a lot for uploading this video. I'm planning to get this rack, it will be used for squats, benchpress and pull-ups (no kipping). I'm a little bit concerned since 3 little girls are sleeping one level below my workout room. I'm curious if the cage makes any noise while doing those exercises and if so, if your solution works that you're talking about around 6min. Can you let me know? Thank in advance and have a great day!
Yes, so the rack does make some noise when racking the bar, mounted on an upstairs room it does vibrate the walls a bit. I ended up using some electrical tape around the hinge bolts to quiet them down from rattling.
It’s not terrible however, I think you would be fine. I also used 3/4 inch rubber flooring so help quiet things down.
@@EdmonJiddou Perfect, thanks for getting back to me about this Edmon. After taping the hinge bolts do they still make noise or did they only make noise before you taped them?
Inside Knowledge it’s a lot quieter, I would say 80% reduction is rattle for sure
Edmon Jiddou Sounds great, thanks a lot! I just ordered the new monster version of the folding rack and I probably won’t use the fold back function until I will move in a couple of years so maybe I’m thinking about making an adjustment so make it fixed instead of flexible if the noise still bothers me. Have a great day and thanks for all the information Edmon!
Thanks for this. Very helpful, about to install mine. Have you been using it?
5:24, where did you get that stability ball holder? I searched and couldn't find anything similar. I guess not purpose built, but DIY hack?
Yes, it’s actually a bike rack holder they sell at Home Depot. It has folding arms and fits perfect. I’ll try and find it online.
How many inches from the floor to the bottom of the top stringer? I already have mirrors installed and want to know if I’d need to move them...
Great video - how thick are the mats on the floor? Are you able to easily move them?
3/4 inch, and they are around 100 pounds each. So not very easily but doable..
I just ordered one and am also wondering about the mats, do they need to be in place before you install the rack or do you have the ability to lift up the rack an inch or so to add mats?
when it swings out the the open position does it sit of the floor at all for support? or is the entire weight of the rack supported by the wall?
Yes the legs share the load when swung open, I legs take the impact load of racking the weight.
@@EdmonJiddou thanks for the video and the replies~ If the legs are making good contact with the floor, aren't they scraping the floor when they are swung in and out? My install is in the garage where the floor is curved so you can see my concern.
Cool! The stringer looks super handy. How far apart are the bolt holes? I have an older rig and I wonder if that stringer would work, I think mine is 5 or 5.5" apart. Thanks in advance!
You said the screws to secure the stringer to the wall/studs should’ve came with the set up right?
Yes, the screws to secure to wood studs come with the rack.
Thanks for the video. How did you determine the wall was suitable for a wall mount rack? I’m thinking of putting one in our spare room, but I’m not sure if it’s a floating wall or hooked up to the foundation.
This video is fantastic! Quick question, the measurements that are provided in the Rogue booklet, particularly the bottom of the floor to stringer, did you follow those? Thanks again for this!
I personally did not, since I had a electrical outlet and floorboards to work around. I know you can adjust the height by (+\-) 4 inches on the stringer.
@@EdmonJiddou great to hear, I'm also dealing with a baseboard so glad there is that flexibility.
Hi, how many feet between the stringers? Wondering if they would fit on the top and bottom of our 5 foot wall mounted mirrors?
56” for my setup between stringers, although you can raise/lower both to maybe clear 60” if needed.
Roughly how man inches are in between the top & bottom stringer? Just bought a rack & want to know what size mirror I should get.
Is everything in the package or is it necessary to buy screws and dowels to mount the stinger at the wall?
Everything is included for standard wood stud install, concrete install requires you to get the appropriate lag bolts.
@@EdmonJiddou Thanks 🙏 I receive my rack next week. But every store is closed. So I must order all tools. And in EU everything is metric, so it is quite difficult to get the right tools 😂
Hey great video. The electrical cord going through the wall not a good idea man. Better pull that out of the wall just in case you have a fire your insurance won’t cover your house
When you have it folded flat against the wall, how much space is between the post and the wall? I’ve got a lip on one of my garage walls where the foundation sticks out at the bottom. It would interfere with folding it flush against the wall so I’m curious how much space the stringers plus brackets provide.
I would say there is a 1.5 inch gap from the posts when they are “flat” against the wall. They can travel more and go past parallel to the wall but I keep mine flat. Hope that makes sense.
Edmon Jiddou That is really helpful for planning purposes in my design. Thank you for making the video.
Can you put the stringer higher so it goes nearly to the top of the upright post?
You can, but that prohibits you from
Adding the pull-up bar high enough.
Just ordered ours. Putting it in the garage, did you have any problems with leveling. I notice that some people put wood on the wall before putting on the stringer. Would you know why people are doing this ?
Wood backer boards are mainly to protect the drywall, the stringers do dig into the drywall a bit.
Is that spare room carpeted? If so, did the stall mats need anything underneath them like a layer of plastic to protect the flooring?
I removed my carpet and padding to make the stall Mats fit. Otherwise the door would not open.
Thanks for the reply!
Thanks for doing this video. Is there a range fo me where the top stinger needs to be placed? I know the overall height of the bar just worried about placement of the top stinger
both stringers have some flexibilty in mounting height, you want keep with it within 4 inches of the suggested height, above or below.
What is the height of the top bracket that fastens into the wall from floor to the bracket?
Does it sit flush with the floor? Or is there a 16th inch gap so all the force is on the lags in the wall?
Enjoyed the video. I'm waiting on my rack to arrive. Where can I find a bench like that?
Bench is actually a bowflex bench I bought off of a friend for $250! Thanks!
Nice setup video Edmon! Mine is coming in piece by piece as we speak. I was wondering, did you go with a Rogue barbell and Rogue plates? I've been checking with the website for the past month and haven't seen any in stock. If you didn't go with Rogue barbell and plates, what did you go with? Thanks in advance!
Thanks! Yes I went with a Ohio bar in black zinc, it finally arrived a few days ago (14 day turn around) and a couple 45# bumper plates. You just have to keep check back on the site like a hawk and see when they slowly restock items. Don’t overpay on marketplace, be patient and deals will come.
@@EdmonJiddou Crazy jealous. I ordered a black zinc OPB over a month ago and haven't had ANY movement on my order...I've resorted to watching unboxing videos and fantasizing about my order actually arriving one day.
Thanks for video. What length is your barbell? Would a 6ft barbell work? Rather than 7ft?
No, you need an Olympic size barbell 7’
Thanks for posting this. I have 4 inch foundation on the bottom clearance. Is it good okay to make the bottom stringer higher than what’s in the instruction? If so, the top stringer can also stay the same as the instruction right? About to install mine next week. Thanks bro
HappyMan HappyFam for sure, the instructions say you can adjust stringer height in 2 inch increments, I raised mine 1 bolt one up to miss the floor trim. Top stringer can also be adjusted accordingly.
Hello Edmon, how tall is your ceiling? My ceiling it is only 91inches. Do you think I will be able to do pull-ups? Thanks
What is the length of the wall you have it attached to? How far left to the wall did you attach the stringer? I’m in a similar situation with a smaller wall and wanted enough clearance. I have about 92 inches total of wall space with a wall to my left
Great video. How long did it take you?
What kinda flooring did you use ?
If it's rubber, does it smell bad?
Rubber horse stall Matts from tractor supply, and yea they out gas for a few days.
Thanks for the video bro. Had a quick question. So I want to install one of these in my garage but my the bottom half of my garage is cement and the top half is wood. Does this install into cement ?
Also the bottom part of my wall is slightly uneven like a half inch. (The bottom part of the wall sticks out a half inch) Would I still be able to install this rack?
1) yes you would need concrete anchors for the bottom stringer.
2) you should be just fine, might need to shim the top stringer to accommodate the difference. I would have to see what you mean but I don’t think it would be a problem.
Hi Jeff,
I just received my rack and prepping for install. My garage's bottom has concrete footing at the bottom of the wall and is about 8" up from grade. What did you end up doing, mounting to the concrete? Do you have any words of wisdom from your install?
I plan to mount a 2x12 ledge board then attach my horizontal stringers to them for some extra strength and weight distribution on the studs. I had a thought today as I was prepping... 'can't I just mount the bottom stringer higher up and avoid the concrete altogether.' Mainly because I don't have a hammer drill and 3/4 concrete bit.
Thanks,
**Question answered in a comment thread below
Thanks @Edmon
How tall are your ceilings? Worried about clearance doing chin ups .I have 8 ft ceilings- believe that set up is 7.5 feet, right?
yes, 8 foot ceilings work just fine. The rig tops out at 90", I have the pull up bar set up 14 inches below ceiling height and it works great with enough clearance for a full head over bar.
how did you figure out exactly how high to put the bottom stringer?
around 3-4 inches from the floor
Would you recommend assembling the whole rack and placing it against the wall so you know exactly where the stringers should be placed or do you think the process you followed by installing the stringers first then the rest of the rack was the most efficient?
Trying to wrap my head around how one would go about doing that, it would be incredibly difficult to manage unless you had multiple people helping. I assume that would work?
@@EdmonJiddou True....it would be very heavy. Thanks for the response!
Heavy as well as awkward, the towers would be flopping around, I would recommend the stringers first.
Dude I need some help. The hex bolts that goes into the cross members has a low profile hex nut. but my low profile hex nut has a nylon insert and prevents it from fully turning and tightening flush the way it should be. Did they send me the wrong hex nut or am I doing something wrong? Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thank you.
yes
Hello one question is possibly Benc press inclined
04:51 ... For the part where he snaps on the weight hook thingies.
The height of my baseboard is at 6 inches. Do you know if one can install the lower stringer bar higher than suggested?
Yes, you have flexibility in mounting, but bottom stringer must be mounted under 2’ from floor
What part of the bottom stringer must be 2’ from the floor?
Edmon, thank you for the video. I am putting mine together today, and it came with rubber feet for the bottom of the poles, but I can't seem to get them in! Did yours come with them or did you forego them? Thanks for the help! Love your setup!
Use a rubber mallet, or hammer with a wooden board so you don’t damage them. They will fit. They just need some love 👌
Also, you definitely want to use them, as they act like a slider for the uprights.
Thanks for both comments. I really was going to give up until your second comment. Turns out this is the one part I needed my wife’s help with! Also ended up shaving a little of the corners down. 😉
Same thing happened to me. I ended up taking a table saw and carefully notched off enough off the edge to easily get it it with a rubber mallet.
Are you able to adjust the height of the stringers? Essentially, I would need to raise the bottom stringer to bypass a 7 inch ledge (cinder block that protrudes at the bottom of the wall) that’s in my garage. Also, if so, would that screw up the height needed for the top stringer? I also have limited overhead space. Let me know if you have any thoughts. Thanks!
hey buddy, what did you end up doing?
Hey, where did you get pull up bar wall hanger? got link to it?
Home Depot, I’ll see if I can find the link. 👍🏼
Hi man ! Does the rack slide on the floor when folding or is there some space between the rack and the floor?
It slides on high strength plastic feet, meant to carry a bit of the load.
@@EdmonJiddou thx, I’m asking this because I also want to put one in my garage, but I’m going to cover to floor with soft rubber floor tiles (example: gorillasports.nl/deal/sportschool-vloer-beschermingsmatten-8-stuks-totaal-2-55-m2?gclid=Cj0KCQiA6Or_BRC_ARIsAPzuer9mxPp3LyxaycGjPPfFey24GzswttHOSb0JO84Y8lZWLVXk8i-QTVoaAilqEALw_wcB)
And I want to know if the plastics wont have to much resistances on the rubber floor when folding in or out.
Is this the 21” or 41” version ?
yes, as mike said. this is the shorter of the 2. 21" is more than plenty for most uses, unless you want to do gymnastic movements with the pullup bar.
Hey man how tall are the ceiling in your room? I'm wanting to do this is my garage but I have about 8 foot ceiling
Are u gonna have space on the sides to load up the barbell?
What are those hooks on the wall that is holding your pull up bar?
Home Depot sells them in all kinds of sizes, they come with stud anchors and can hold a good amount of weight. The orange rubber grip on them is the same one rogue uses. Around $7 a piece.
