This is the last piece I need for my gym. I have everything else from rogue. The gym is ready for the centre piece. I love it.

Good video, there is a setting on the gopro that gets rid of that fish bowl effect depending on the model called FOV. Or you can edit the video and select "Remove Fisheye"

Thanks for the review. You convince me on Rogue products. I spent like 30 hours researching different racks. I was debating on Rogue R4 $1010 2x3 posts vs Fortis 4 $895 3x3 posts. R4 does have Westside spacing and Fortis 4 doesnt, regular 2" spacing. Both have 43" spacing. R4 has 5/8 holes and Fortis 4 has 1" holes. So Fortis 4 accesories are a little bit more expensive.

I ordered the Rogue Fortis 4 for $895 plus shipping. Its 3x3 post, no westside spacing on it. I bought it bc of the 43" depth. For those who want the Titan HD the depth is only 24" and its $409 on Amazon w/ free shipping. Fortis 4 Rack doesnt look like it has to be bolted down, but if it does ill bolted down.

The holes are 1" and I like that bc the Safety Strap 2.0 is meant for the Monster Series 1" holes and straps looks easier to use than the Monster Lite Straps meant for 5/8" holes.

The Fortis 4 comes with the 2 safety pin pipe but I called Rogue and they said I could replace with Safety straps for extra $100. The rack also comes with standard monster J cup but I replaced with Sandwich J cups for extra $110. Sandwich J cups look like they would protect bar a little bit better than standard.

The Fortis 4 Rack can be upgraded with plate storage for extra $350 and it comes with 8 storage posts. Im going to wait to to buy the extra storage.

THANKS again for your video reviews. I watched most of your videos which are so helpful and I have subscribed.

I'm jealous of your home gym. It is nice as F@#k!

[martinchaidez]

I enjoy all of your product reviews and I absolutely love your gym! We share the same taste in equipment and color choices (my favorite color combination is red and black). I am working into setting up a home gym myself but just can't really afford to spend $3, 000 of my $5, 000 budget on just the monster rack itself. (I still have a $200 monthly gym membership as well) Do you still go to a crossfit gym or do you only train alone? If I may, roughly how much would it cost someone to have a dream garage gym like yours? Thanks for the reviews, you should be sponsored, and good luck with the new house.

Awesome setup! Which rack finish is this? It doesn't look like the "satin black" that's listed on their site.

Do all Monster accessories, such as the matador, have the UHMW protection on the insides? I know the ML Matador doesn't, so its metal against metal, I'm wondering were the price difference comes from, besides the 1" hardware for equivalent accessories. Thanks for the review!

Nice. What color? And what do you use for lat pull downs and Tri push downs? Didn’t see anything in your gym. Rogue make the attachment - not sure how if you have tried this.

Interested in the beams in your garage... You install them or came with the garage? What are the beams made of?

[sergeantwaters]

Wow that's a nice rack. Wish I had $$$ like that. I'm going to get a R3 but I don't think the old lady will let me get anything higher than that.

Hi Leo Pando! You have a very nice set up. Thanks for sharing. I wanted to ask you, what company did you order your bench from? Thanks in advanced.

[daily]

so 30" depth for squats and bench is plenty for a 6ft 220 pound person? I've been looking at the 43" racks and now they offer 30" as a choice

[damiencooper]

Hey, very nice Setup!
May I ask what camera you're using? Gopro or fisheye lens?
Thanks

[rascoetee]

Is that the snorinex safety strap xl you got there?

[Byskee]

Hey Pando, would you share the very specific specifications. In the vid you mention that the length of the rack is about 30". Then the plate storage part must be 23"? Is that correct or is it more like 35" and then 18"?
I am thinking of buying my own, based on your review. If you couldn't tell, lol.
Oh and, would you change anything about it if you had the chance to order again?

very cool, i think this is too big for my garage, and i may go for a smaller rack, as i got 2 bikes in the garage
