Best Rogue Squat Rack For Garage Gym

This quick guide will show you the best Rogue Fitness Squat Rack for your garage gym, or small space where you want your gym equipment.

I’ve had the budget squat rack, SML-1, for 3 years and have loved it.

That being said, I recently purchased the Rogue RM3 (which is on its way) due to all of the attachments and accessories that are available for it.

The SML-1 doesn’t allow for these attachments which is why I am selling it.

Along with this, I researched everything you need to know about the other options for squat racks with small footprints for your garage gym below:
