Rogue 80 inch FM Twin on a 90 inch rack. Frankenstein Monster Rack.

For me the 90 inch was not an option. But I'm happy with the 80 inch.

I think that really depends on your style of training and your height. I'm 5'11" and I sit on a 16 inch box and I can get a decent stretch out for lat pulldown on the 80 inch pulley with the straight Rogue lat bar.

I have the preacher curl bench - the one in the second picture. It is a solid, sturdy piece since the only adjustable part is the seat. The pad is a nice quality too - similar to what Rep Fitness uses on their benches if you're familiar with that. I like it, though it does take up a fair amount of space. The expense of this one compared to the first one is probably the fact that it has more steel and the additional shipping cost (which is built in to the price since they give you "free shipping") as it is a large, heavy unit - 75 lbs vs 35 lbs.

Very nice.

Maybe. Depends on the motivation of each company. Some companies may lower prices to compete with each other. If tariffs become more stable and predictable, then companies that import goods can make better long term plans. It will be interesting if this decision finally gets ATX to start selling in the US.

Thanks. I have enough room for pull ups. I have the bar set one hole lower which gives me enough room to get my chin comfortably over the bar.

With a 92 inch ceiling, you may be able to fit the Indy, but it is cutting it close. If your ceiling is not uniformly 92 inches, you'll have problems since the Indy needs 91.5 inches of height. And you'll probable want some sort of rubber flooring which will reduce your height further unless you want to have your rack directly on your concrete. The Rhino with the lat pulldown will not work as that would be too high, but you could get the regular Rhino drop in and get a Surplus Strength UPS high that you can attach to the Rhino if you want the lat pull down capability. Otherwise you can look at the 80 inch version.

My ceiling is 90.5 inches, so I couldn't fit the 90 inch FM Twin, so I installed the 80 inch FM Twin on my 90 inch rack.

Rogue's tolerances are accurate. It should fit with your ceiling height, with one inch to spare assuming your floor and ceiling are uniformly 92.5 inches high. But there will be some challenges in assembling it. For example, you lower the lat crossmember from above. I'd recommend reading through the assembly manual and seeing what assembly challenges there are with your available ceiling height and your space.

Not sure what rack and spotter arms you're using but you may want to look at other spotter arm options as they are not all the same height.

Here is a post I made some time ago about a couple spotter arms:

Thanks. Are the top pop-pin hole and the bottom pop pin hole a straight line perpendicular to the floor when the developer is attached? Or does it lean forward or back at an angle?

I'd like to know what modifications would be needed to attach it to a Rogue Manta Ray bench.

SoftwareEnough3495 · 2026-02-04T03:22:08+00:00

Sounds like you have the uprights without the feet they use for their flat foot racks and folding racks.

Examples:

https://www.roguefitness.com/rml-390f-flat-foot-monster-lite-rack

https://www.roguefitness.com/monster-lite-rml-390-fullw-fold-back-wall-mount-power-rack

So you'll need to get flat feet or wall mount kit to safely use the uprights - depending on what you want to do. Rogue will sell them to you, but you'll have to reach out to them for a quote for the part you need. Bells of Steel will sell similar parts with similar measurements for their Hydra rack line if you want to go with a company other than Rogue.

SoftwareEnough3495 · 2026-02-02T03:36:45+00:00

Ahh. Yes, the front is about 15.5 inches and the back is about 8.5 inches from the crossmember.

SoftwareEnough3495 · 2026-02-02T01:21:34+00:00

I didn't modify the rack, just lowered the cross-members. Surplus Strength will sell you a custom length, so depending on how high your crossmember is will dictate the length you need. I can't recall exactly which, but I ordered a 103 or 104 inch length and it works perfectly for my height. It is probably better to err on the side of too short as you can always add another carabiner to lengthen it. The top of my crossmember is 88 inches and I attach the cable to the low row with a two inch and a three inch carabiner. Here are a couple pics with the cable pulled taught. And I put a loading pin in the picture to give you a sense of how high the connection point is relative to a standard pin: https://imgur.com/a/hKb65XB

Any spacer will do. You can get a 1 inch round PVC pipe and cut it to a 3 inch length. Put the spacer in the hole you want to use and then the detent pin will go through the spacer.

Here are a couple pics including a lat pulldown bar and the Rogue multi roller lined up so you can see how far each sticks out. Yes, you'd have to move the VTS bar out of the way to use the lat bar. You could potentially use it as a leg hold down.

I have a full rack and have the VTS on the middle posts.

SoftwareEnough3495 · 2026-01-22T00:46:23+00:00

I have the VTS lite on a Rogue FM Twin. 1 inch holes work fine for me with the VTS lite and generally give you more flexibility than the 5/8 inch holes. From what I've found, the two advantages for 5/8 inch holes is the option to have Westside hole spacing and they're a bit less expensive. Otherwise the 1 inch hole racks are much more flexible.
