This thing is legit - when i do bar muscle ups, pull-ups, toes to bar etc. on the rig with the conversion kit installed there is virtually no movement and feels much more stable. Plus it makes room for additional plate storage which is nice. Already thinking about what kind of attachments I can use now. A little pricey with shipping costs, but I feel like it's definitely worth it.

Looks great and adds a ton of stability. However the powder coat on one of the top stabilizers had some chipping exposing a little bit of raw steel. I’m certain that’s not Rogue standard. Not terrible but kiiiinda disappointed that it was there. Other than that, sick addition to the home gym

Arrived within a few days of ordering, simple to put together, and looks great!! Got my plates up off the ground finally, relocated my dip bar holder so now it’s not in the way every time I squat, and repositioned my battle rope mount to a back post giving me a more convenient angle now to rattle the ropes from. Very happy with this purchase. Very affordable upgrade to my rack, though shipping is still a solid punch to the gut

As you can see in the video, this improves the rack’s ability to handle even the most shakey of gymnastics movements. The ability to have plate storage keeps the gym tidy, and prevents the rack from tipping. I did have to load some sandbags on the front legs, but only for BMU, other pull-ups the rack is solid enough. This is solid option if you can’t have a floor or wall mounted rack, but cannot afford a full cage or already have a squat stand.

I bought this a couple months ago to help stabilize my squat rack and store some plates. It is great quality as expected. I only wish it would have come in the same like green as my squat rack and use the same black hardware.

Many may claim the half section is to small and there is a bottom crossmember in the way for squats but the other factors involved make the half rack superior to the RML 390 flat foot power rack. This half rack is underrated and I give 5 stars. First the 17” in between the half compartment is enough room for bench press and some specialty squat bars. But the main quality benefit is the structure. The back uprights are 70” with the shorter hight making things more stable than full hight uprights. The shorter side crossmembers create greater stability than full length ones. The large base cross member gives much more stability than one at the top. The pull up bar adds stability and the smaller distance between 70” uprights and higher uprights with pull-up bar gives more stability. Not only is the half rack much more sturdy, there is more overall space than RML 390. Spotter arms are 20” but your back is free so it is very spacious. Then, the half compartment is 17” in between posts giving 37” of space with an open area at the back vrs 30” space distance of cage. I upgraded my Y2 yolk and asked for a separate bottom crossmember which was easy to get. I got extra monster light j cups. The half space is also great for band assisted pull-ups. People all say the RML 390 is sturdy but you can take any stand up rack and shake it and it will have some give. In the end I’m sure the RML390 is a great power rack but I wanted to compare the design to show how the half rack is underrated. It is super sturdy and is very spacious with spotter arms and can even fit a separate bench press area. 5 stars for me.

I converted my SML2-C into a half rack utilizing the HR-2 kit and I'm very happy with my purchase. The half rack with storage pins for plates adds stability to the rack.

Purchased the HR-2 conversion kit with 90 inch stick pair to convert SML1 to HR-2 half rack. Indeed a very beautiful set up. Reduces the swaying and adds a lot of functionality. Purchased the fat pull-up bar and XML-43 crossmember separately to connect the rear posts. Already teaching my 14 year old daughter band assisted pull-ups and she loves it!
