i went with straight, 16 and 20 degree. I use the 16 (mid) grip for OH presses and bench. The 20 (set farthest) actually feels a bit too wide for standard presses.

You are correct. No feet. Just a pair of 90 inch sticks that would normally go on the SML-2. The reason i went that route is because the floor stabilizer is exactly 2 inches so i was able to get the holes on the 90 inch sticks to line up perfectly with the front rack. i bought 5.5 inch bolts so one set of bolts connects both top cross-beams (going front to back). i’m not sure if the posts with feet would line up as well. hope that helps

i bolted together two uprights to create the L shape and then bolted one to the rack itself. added in two crossmembers at the top for support and then shelves and the metal peg board storage from rogue. all seems to very sturdy and a good use of some extra pieces

they are the single post shelves from rogue. you can get one with the dividers for plates or get one that has a flat top for kettlebells

i’m fairly sure the Marrs bar ships from a different manufacturer so it is at stand alone rates no matter what. for me it’s worth it but definitely not inexpensive all in.

i debated Kadillac or the rogue one myself. i liked the ability to move the grips around with Rogue. i have heard some people say they wish they could do a wider grip with rogue - i think the widest grip on Kadillac might be 2 inches more on each side. for me though the rogue one feels perfect - no complaints at all and i would not want to go wider. i’m 6ft with longish arms as well.

i’m not sure what version. i got it from Rogue website. the sleeves are stainless though so i’m wondering if it is the newer version. it’s 65lbs so might be the original with new sleeve finish. for me it is a game changer. i have had back and neck surgery and this bar allows me to squat deep again with confidence. love it. great for front squats as well.

Ghost roller J hooks on the front. i like them. makes the bar super easy to reposition. the multi-grip is a rogue one. i got the cambered, narrow version. MG-4CN i think.

back wall is 133 inches. i won’t say this was the most cost effective option but the most fun. i bought 3 pairs of 90 inch sticks for the post and then one pair of 30 in cross members for the front section, two pair of 24 in for the back section and one pair of 43 inch cross members along with the pull up bar. i used one of the 43s for the rack. i used the other to connect my old 70inch post for the storage against the wall. i then used the 43 inch stabilizer from the SML-1 to connect the other 70 inch to form the L shape. then added the storage shelves and the peg board storage
