The 5/8" version works on both Infinity and Monster-Lite (which is 3" tubing), so I wouldn't be surprised if it's a little larger than 2", even though the specs on the web page say it's 2" wide.
In other Infinity news, I noticed the Infinity safety arms are now 11-gauge. When I bought my SML-2 last year and was deciding between the two product lines, the Infinity's were supposedly 7-gauge.Last edited by weisgarb; 04-09-2015 at 10:50 AM. Reason: ... and I see throwaway beat me to it

I wonder if that was a design tradeoff. At first I didn't realize how simple Rogue's design is. When you look at it it's just four pieces of metal, two of which are identical, and these little welds:
Maybe it's 2.5" because the welds wouldn't fit if it was only 2"?█════█ Rogue Barbell Club #12 █════█

The center of the barbell as it sits right there is 9" from the uprights, with the free swing I can get another 2-3" out of it away, and its no more difficult to lean into.

Course I am. But I know you're swamped. Especially since we allowed our American brethren access to you! I meant it when I said get to what you need to. Take care of what has to be done. Not to say I am not stoked or anything (can't wait for the damn thing - maybe I'll get two for both ends!!!) but I've had a few personal hiccups pop up myself to keep me out of the garage some.

I was worried about that too.
I clipped the swing arm on the way up two or three times in the beginning but that was because I had the monolift mounted a little too low. Once you figure out where it needs to be mounted and where you need to stand you'll find that you have to be leaning quite a bit forward, a lot of weight on your toes forward, at the top of the rep to hit it. Once I realized that I stopped worrying and I've gone hundreds of reps without issue since.█════█ Rogue Barbell Club #12 █════█

Ok ya i see, when I talked to rogue they said that they made that bolt removable for people to do that, but never saw someone that posted pictures do that.
I think the swing the way they made it was because they wanted to get it to work with the racks with the 24"cross members, as I put it in my short side of the RML-690 and it fits well, if it was further out for a longer swing it probably wouldnt work in there.Best Raw total 1850 at 181 lbs

I have a Rogue Ohio bar, a squat stand with the pull-up bar and spotters, flat bench, dip attachment and dip belt, and a deadlift mini-jack.
I might get the conversion kit that upgrades the stand to a full rack soon, and right now I'm considering either a GHD or adjustable bench. I think some glute-ham raises would do better for me than the ability to do incline presses.

Yeah, I'd have loved to order one of yours Mech, but I wanted it pretty immediately because I'm impatient, and I'm kinda OCD and like my stuff to match lol. I ordered this on the 4th, and it arrived on the 8th (the 4th being a Saturday). Rogue definitely has great shipping, and great CS. Plus, no offense, but I like made In the USA stuff. Go 'Merica and such.

Reserving my number spot #998 now.
I just ordered the following. Should be here in a few days.
Rogue SML-1 Squat Stand
Rogue SAML-24 Spotter Arms
Rogue Ohio Power Bar (Bare Steel)
Rogue Flat Utility Bench
In the end, I had to buy American. I also was impressed with the quickness in which they responded to my questions, and not by prewritten chain letters.
Gonna hold out hope I can purchase 600lbs. of York American casted plates somewhere for a decent price.Last edited by FyrFytr998; 04-30-2015 at 10:57 PM.

Ultimately, yes. My ceiling is only 80 inches and the wife said the carpet stays, which excludes anchoring into the cement floor. I also don't do pull ups, so the SML-1 allows for a legit platform to be put underneath the stand. I also prefer seated OHP's to standing.
As far as converting to a HR-1, I'm not really interested. I would consider it glorified plate storage at the 70in. height. Maybe if the conversion kit included a pull up bar at the top to help side to side sway.

Lots of crossmembers you could choose from.

If you went with the XML-43 you could add hooks for bands and chains.▪█─────█▪ Equipment Crew #53 ▪█─────█▪

Well there was the cost factor too. For all those suggestions, I could have just went ahead and dropped the $900 they wanted for a custom chopped RML-390F power rack.
I did think about it, but ultimately had to remember that this home set up is supposed to be a back up gym for when I don't feel like driving to my brothers gym where I work/work out normally.▪█─────█▪ Rogue Barbell Club #998 ▪█─────█▪

Awwww hell. Now I'm going to have to order some more stuff from Rogue just so I feel worthy of my number.
