The biggest mistakes I made with my Rogue Home gym
1. Got the RM4 instead of the RM3
2. Bught the Utility bench instead of directly going for n adjustable bench
3. Forgot to put storage pins in my order
4. Ordered short storge pins, just get the long ones
5. Was too considerate for other people in the house, should have focused on me more.

Thank you brother ! Have a great week

[@unknownKnownunknowns]

Good tips thank you! Agree the short posts only allow 3 plates max once the bolts are in. One tip if getting Monster Lite - ask for colored uprights for no charge

[@pascallandshoeft]

Very good tip !!!

[@jamestonbellajo]

This was a great video. I eventually plan to get a Monster rack and have been debating between an RM-3 and RM-4. This video helps a lot.

[@pascallandshoeft]

Hi James, Many thanks for the comment. Also check out my buy guide videos on the RM4 and RM3 there might be some additional nuggets in there too. All the best Pascal

Kein Thema mache ich gerne Bin überrascht dass du raus gefunden dass ich auch deutsch spreche und danke für die deutschen Zeilen. Das ist sehr nett von dir Pascal P.s. Tell your friends about me if you like it so much :) . Enjoy your day

[@mdjak3686]

This video is basically spot on. I have the same rack but am happy with the size over the RM3. Other than that, excellent points.

[@pascallandshoeft]

Thanks for the nice comment

[@eli9478]

Very informative video👍 Most of us seem to make mistakes when starting a home gym :

[@pascallandshoeft]

Thanks for the kind words

[@richarddawson203]

Great info! Really appreciate this content. You don’t usually hear this perspective. This will be really useful as I build out my home gym.

[@pascallandshoeft]

Thanks Richard Glad I brought something new to the table for you and hope you save some money or time on the back of it. If there is something else you are curious about besides this let me know All the best Pascal

[@Tee-qc4fh]

Thank you u answered the basic questions I needed to know. Want a power rack but I am learning from ur mistakes thanks for sharing to prevent us from going through it. Going with an RM3 for my garage

[@markhalstead2386]

With an RM-3, you can also call and get the crossmembers and columns for a 6 post rack for just 14" more length than an RM-4.

[@pascallandshoeft]

Indeed just not a packaged deal

[@aristochristo1156]

Thanks Pascal. Great video. This is very useful!

[@pascallandshoeft]

Thanks for the comment Aristochristo Glad you found it useful and let me know if there is anything else of interest Pascal

[@Rocket4ce]

That echo bike is a killer for sure. Women like spin bikes way more. I like them too. Easy on the joints and a great way to get heart rate up. Your rack looks great, don't have any regrets about it. I got RML3 and RML Squat. Both are excellent.

[@pascallandshoeft]

Thanks Leo that was a very nice comment Let me know if I can help with any info and spread the word :) All the best Pascal

[@mantequillas1278]

Thanks for sharing! I just got my rm3 this past week and I finally finished putting the equipment where I wanted them. I also had to please my wife, she wanted a treadmill and I wanted an echo bike. I ended up with the treadmill to hope that she'll use it one day. I made countless changes during the wait time for picking my order, which took 2 weeks, but they have great customer service and made about 10 changes or so within that time lol.

[@pascallandshoeft]

Hi Mantequilla Thanks for the comment Happy wife, happy life so wise choice :) Hope everything is set up and working the way you want tot to work. Next thing might be some wall decorations, who knows. All the best Pascal

[@ryeann2567]

Has she used the treadmill yet?

[@mantequillas1278]

@@ryeann2567 a handful of times, and its been a few months since then lol. I'm using it about 3 times a week for uphill walking to hopefully drop these last 10-15 lbs by December this year.

[@joerodriguez8977]

I think you may have the socket pull up bar installed upside down and that may be why it is so uncomfortable. Try flipping it and see if its any better

[@pascallandshoeft]

Thanks Joe I will try that

[@Sun-Rs-Chugh]

Hey man thanks for making this video, I probably would have made the same mistakes the first time. Subscribed

[@pascallandshoeft]

Hi 👋 there, Thanks for the nice comment and I glad it helped. Let me know if you have any follow up questions and enjoy your day Pascal

[@ChristopherMelke]

You are criticising the Curl-PU-Bar. I agree, the way they show it on their homepage and the way you have it installed, it makes no sense, but if you'd turn it by 90° it would give you the usual grip-options (with the bonus of the knurling) except for the neutral grip.

[@pascallandshoeft]

Thanks for the comment Well I’ll flip it , still a socket bar would have been better in my opinion.

[@jeremy_c9163]

Great points. I may disagree about the AB-3 being "worse" than the adjustable 2.0 however. The AB-3 is crazy expensive BUT its an awesome bench. I use the decline for situp and ab work. Like you said, just buying one to get it over with is good advice. This bench is so well made it will outlast me!

[@pascallandshoeft]

Thanks for the comment Jeremy Good to see someone enrich the thread with good news about the AB-3 too. That’s what this is all about so that others can make up their mind. All the best Pascal

[@jordanfraughton3921]

Loved my RM4 but I just sold it for an RM3 fortis. I bolt my rack to an 8’ x 8’ platform and wanted more room to deadlift up front.

[@pascallandshoeft]

Thanks for sharing and underscoring the RM3 recommendation that me and others give in many of their videos

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

What power racks do not require bolt down thru concrete flooring? I do not want to drill massive holes in my garage flooring.

[@pascallandshoeft]

RM390F or RML390F from Rogue

[@unknownKnownunknowns]

Yes, I have the monster light 390F. Rock solid

[@portrajared]

I did the exact same thing too bought an RM-4 and it takes up too much damn room. 🤦‍♂️

[@1neomonkey]

I can't justify the extra cost for an adjustable bench as I hate doing anything in an incline position (don't see the point) and so would never use it. In any case, thanks for the great tips.

[@pascallandshoeft]

That is also a very fair conclusion to draw Thanks for the comment

[@jdoggg211]

Good tips. I also got my rack first and it’s too big .. Would love to have that extra bit of space. But don’t sleep on that rogue echo! It’s really hard to use but if you’re consistent, results come fast

[@pascallandshoeft]

Thanks for the comment I have it but I am not using it enough Your comment might light the spark Have a great start to the week Pascal

[@3knuckleswidevideos248]

I store my weights on a step ladder leaning against the wall

[@pascallandshoeft]

Good idea as long as you don’t have dogs or children nearby which I do

[@JustMarioBros]

I'm wondering, what are all the different types of movements/exercises you do inside the rack that convinced you the extra space wasn't necessary? I'm currently having to debate this myself before making a purchase. Not sure if I would end up using the outside more often than not.

[@pascallandshoeft]

Hi there Thanks for the comment I do Squats Pull ups All bench work Inside the rack deadlifts Rows On my platform in front Your bench would protrude a little in an rm3 If you want to deadlift in an RM3 you possibly have to store the plates on the top rather than bottom Hope that helps and dig deeper if you want to Pascal

[@JustMarioBros]

@@pascallandshoeft thank you sir, I appreciate it.

[@martystrasinger3801]

Curious question from someone in Pennsylvania, US: how is the shipping to Ireland from Rogue? For comparison, I just ordered a Rogue Ohio Power Bar, shipping cost is $25, and probably four days to delivery. Thanks for the excellent presentation!

[@pascallandshoeft]

Hi Marty Thanks for asking. I have a video titled “How does Rogue fitness ship” which answers your question. Rogue has a central warehouse near the big container port in Rotterdam, Netherlands, where they also have a show room. Whatever products sell well in the US will be earmarked for a container shipment to Rotterdam and stored in that warehouse for distribution in Europe. That’s why the selection in the EU always lacks about a year or two behind the States and the less successful products won’t even be made available in the EU. Hope that answers your question. It’s not like you order and then every piece is shipped from Columbus to my door in Ireland. That wouldn’t be economically feasible for Rogue as a seller or me as a European buyer. Carriers used in Europe are DHL for pallet deliveries and UPS for packages. All the best Pascal

[@johnblystone2936]

Great tips, thank you. Are you happy with height? Is pull-up high enough on rm3/4? Thank you 🎉

[@pascallandshoeft]

Yes more than Enough

[@Tee-qc4fh]

And should I get the rm3 fortis rack or rm3 monster rack? Differences?

[@joshi666]

Hi, do you have experience with other brands sold in Germany? ATX, Strong Gains, SQMIZE… strong gains and SQMIZE have German made series as well but I’m not sure if they also source their material from Germany.

[@pascallandshoeft]

Hi there Unfortunately no as I didn’t really research them as deeply as Rogue and TITAN. What I can say is that ATX comes up more often then the other brands you mention which would point to that - They do a better job at marketing - They have more satisfied customers - They have more bandwidth to pay attention to international All signs of a well run business… but again just circumstantial evidence. Pascal

[@johnsotelo3125]

Rogue fitness deliver to Hawaii, Amazon delivers to Hawaii, don't understand why Rep fitness doesn't deliver to Hawaii. 🤔🤔🤔

[@pascallandshoeft]

Pretty simple The smaller the company the weaker their distribution system. Amazon and Rogue are very mature, REP is fairly new so they don’t have the distribution network reaching to Hawaii / Europe etc.

[@thesoldier4]

Hello Pascal, I got a question you maybe could help me with. Since about two weeks i am struggling about which rack from which brand I want to buy. After I saw the rhino option and the lever arms for the rogue racks, I really want to have a rogue rack to maybe be able to buy these attachments one day. Now here is my problem. I really like the products rogue is making, but every little thing they sell is so expensive (yes I know, they have the best quality). I have enough money to buy a rogue rack and some attachments, but I'm really not able to buy everything I want to have on my rack from rogue. For example, I know a company which is selling perfectly good landmines for 80 x 80 mm racks for 30$ per piece. The rogue option is like 190$ without shipping for me in my country. And there are a lot more examples. So, i really want to support rogue for their good products, but at the moment I have to look for other companies selling good attachments. Do you know, if I can put other attachments to a rogue rack? Do you think the landmine for an 80 x 80 rack can fit on a rogue monster Rack? Or do you know some other companies products that fit on rogue racks? Maybe european companies, because I live in Germany. And could you tell me, what the holes with the little notch on the sice of the rogue racks are for? Is this like a special hole that makes rogue racks only be useable with rogue attachments? Or does this notch doesn't limit the ability to use other attachments? Sorry for my long questions, but you could really really help me out. It's hard for me to get some knowledge of these racks because not many people in germany use those. Thank you for your videos. Greetings

[@pascallandshoeft]

Hallo, Danke dir für die vielen Fragen und gar kein Problem. Die Bohrungen in den Rogue racks mit dem Extra Teil am unteren Ende nennt sich „teardrop“. Das macht die Racks für Attachments mit kleinerem Durchmesser kompatibel da diese nach unten rutschen und einhaken können. Das habe ich selbst aber noch nicht gemacht. Man kann auch andere Hersteller mit Rogue kombinieren. Ich würde dir empfehlen mal auf dem Kanal von Basement Brandon vor bei zu schauen und ein wenig zu suchen, da ich persönlich wenig Erfahrung mit solchen Kombos habe. Wenn du gerne zu Obi und Hornbach fährst und weißt wie man Metal bohrt und schleift sehe ich kein Problem bei den kleineren Extras zu sparen und zu basteln. Ich persönlich würde mir bei sowas eher die Daumen amputieren und kann daher nicht viel helfen, würde allerdings davon abraten wenn du grundsätzlich keine Bastlernatur bist. Ich würde in deiner Situation sagen hol dir die billigeren Attachments die du gefunden hast, Kauf das Rogue rack und andere Sachen die du dir leisten willst und fang an. Wenn du schon seit Monaten wegen Kleinteilen zögerst würde ich sagen es ist an der Zeit zu entscheiden und anzufangen. Sorry dass ich deine Frage nicht direkt beantworten kann weil ich es nicht ausprobiert habe. Auf Basement Brandon’s KZbin und Instagram findest du mehr Bastler zum Nachfragen. Hoffe das hilft Alles Beste Pascal

@@pascallandshoeft Hallo Pascal, vielen vielen Dank für deine hilfreich und ausführliche Antwort!🤗 Ich habe mir als ich deinen Namen gelesen habe irgendwie schon gedacht, dass du ein deutscher bist bzw. womöglich deutsch sprichst. Sehr cool, wenn es dich nicht stört stelle ich dir eventuell noch ein paar mehr Fragen in den nächsten Tagen. Ich werde mich noch genauer mit dem Thema beschäftigen, um auf jeden Fall das Richtige für mich zu finden. Eine Frage hätte ich aber vorweg noch. Sind diese teardrops denn für original Rogue Attachments gedacht, oder sind die extra für Produkte von Fremdanbietern gemacht? Weißt du das zufällig? Nochmals vielen Dank und schöne Grüße!🤗

[@eddie5152]

I don’t buy from Rogue they don’t offer free shipping. Buy from rep, fringe sport, titan etc. same quality but cheaper and free shipping

[@stevensmith4706]

I've had both rogue and rep racks and rogue quality is better. Noticeably better welding, coating, and laser cuts. Now rep benches are sweet.

[@pascallandshoeft]

Hi Eddie Thanks for the comment While the free shipping offers can be more extensive at the vendors you mention it is not entirely true that Rogue doesn’t offer free shipping My equipment shipped for free as I spent more than €5.000 on one order. There are also specific racks that ship for free and 3 ships free deals. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment you are correct that the free shipping terms can be more narrow at Rogue. Pascal

[@brandonhoover2120]

Rogue offers free shipping if you order a rack now I believe. But to put all those companies on the same quality list as rogue is a big no. It’s flat out ignorant and stupid to say Titan is the same quality as Rogue.

[@johnsotelo3125]

Wish rep fitness deliver to Hawaii and Alaska.
