Can you help me understand the differences between these? Looks like they are the same price. One 2x3 and one 3x3. They look similar.

Rogue RML-3W

Rogue R-3W


Smarter to go with the 3x3? I'm not necessarily throwing heavy heavy weight around, and it looks like the Infinity series accessories are a bit cheaper than the monster series.

Go with 3x3. All companies are going 3x3 with either 1" or 5/8" holes. So go with the minster lite. Lot more accessories available, not just from rogue but rep also. Elite fits, titan etc.

I was asking all this a few weeks ago, so am by no means an experienced expert. But I do have an obsessive personality and research things to a crazy level. I ended up with a 2x3 rack due to size, availability, and a little bit cost (was only like $300 more total to have the 3x3 setup). But definitely see the the benefit of attachments with the 3x3. Do I need any of them......probably not. Do I want them, absolutely.

I'd love safety straps over safety pins, but looks like the only person that sells them for 2x3 is Titan.

I'd love a monolift eventually, but looks like again, only Titan sells in a 2x3.

Now can I make a spacer that allows them to work with 2x3....probably. But if I was definitely going to get those things one day, 3x3 would be the way to go. Hopefully this is just another reason to not waste my money when what I have works perfectly fine.

I would go with an adjustable here for future growth. Buy once, cry once.

Yeah - I decided I'm going to look for an adjustable one elsewhere.


Next question....Are the stall mats enough support to drop the rogue bumper plates on while doing deadlifts? I don't plan to drop them from overhead or anything. Or should I really be building a platform?

If you have bumpers you don't have to have anything but stall mats help dampen impact and sound.

Order placed - very excited.

One step closer to never having to leave my home/neighborhood.

Going pick up the stall mats today. Do they have any give to them to sort of bend them/do they come in a box or are they loose? Worried I won't have enough space in my midsize suv.

Stall mats from tractor supply are big and heavy. I had them forklift them into my wife's 4 door jeep. They barely fit with seats down. I biught the 1/3 inch. No way the 3/4 would have fit.

I’ve got a power rack. Bumper weights up to about 250lbs. Dumbbell rack. Dumbbells (15s,25s,30s,40s,60s,75s). Two adjustable benches. Box jump. Jump rope. It all sits on those thick horse mats.

I have been dragging stall mats for days now. They definitely bend. They weigh about 100 each. Be prepared lol. Easiest thing to do is roll them and tie them and put in car like that.

I got them in and out the vehicle alright. They smell terrific.

Half of my rogue shipment is scheduled for today. I hope it's the rack and not the barbell and weights so I can get to installing it.

I ordered online. They sent me a notification that it was ready for pickup 15 minutes later. Not in Nola area though.

Took 3.5 to install the damn thing last night, but we got 2 lifts in already. This is going to be great. Can't wait to expand.

Damn that looks intense.

I'll post a pic later once I get some storage and organization done. Thinking I should've ordered more lbs of bumper plates.
