Built to last!
I purchased this rack about two months ago and I can honestly say its worth the extra money vs its competitors such as the similar Titan fitness t3. Its quality materials and excellent finish really show. It was very easy to install and I went for the bolt together version for two reasons. 1- I got the longer length option and that gives you plenty of space to do any sort of squats, chest, anything inside the rack. And 2- due to the height of my Garage it gave me more options to adjust how hight the pull up bar/supports could Be placed. Definitely anchor it into the ground it can move a bit with a decent amount of weight such as when re racking heavy squats but once i bolted it down it was solid. I can tell this rack is going to last the tests of time. I am extremely happy with this purchase and recommend it to everyone!

You get what you pay for
I purchased the 30" depth variant and am so pleased with the item quality. I put it together solo, easily and I'm a complete dingbat. Times like these, when all the gyms are closed, I am so glad I invested in my long-term health with a QUALITY home-gym and am grateful for a superior, reliable product. I fully anticipate being able to pass this down to my son some day. As long as this excellence continues, I'm more than happy to pay the premium price, nothing bums me out more than contributing to the landfill after a few years of normal use. I was definitely influenced to go Rogue because this is made in America and want to support LOCAL jobs and manufacturing and reward good craftsmanship.
I don't have any pictures of it yet, but I also bought 2x PIN weight storage bars for the front uprights, they're also great and super helpful when working in confined spaces. Next up, matador!!

Doesn’t get any better!
Bought this about a month ago for my 8’x12’ garage gym and couldn’t be happier with it. I got the 30” depth which is plenty of room for everything I’d need to do in it. Easy to bolt together, and managed to cut away horse stall mats and secure the feet to the concrete without too much hassle. The rack is solid as a rock now, and I can’t wait to start adding accessories on to it.
This is more than enough for most home gyms, and I really can’t recommend it enough. The quality is extremely good, and I am SO glad I didn’t try to settle for a less reputable brand... Don’t be cheap, buy this rack and you’ll never regret it.

Excellent Rack
Purchased for my home basement gym and mounted to a wooden platform I built. Rack is solid and clearly well built. Everything assembled easily and fit together perfectly. I debated between the bolt together and regular. The bolt together worked really well for me as I had to move the components down to the basement alone and around a fairly tight corner. One person can assemble this rack with a step stool and a little patience. Highly recommend!

Perfect for the small garage
My garage has an 8 foot ceiling height which made me put a lot of thought into my rack selection. If you want to be able to do pull-ups in your rack and not want to smash your head into the ceiling, I reccomend the bolt together r-3 over the regular one because it gives you the ability to adjust the pull-up bar height. I am 6'1 with longer than average length arms. With my 8 foot ceiling and my rack on top of a .75" stall mat, I have my pull-up bar bolted one hole space down from the standard height. This makes it high enough so my knees don't touch the ground, but also low enough that just my hair touches the ceiling at the absolute highest part of a chin-up. The photos attached show me hanging from the bar in case I didn't explain well.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. In 4 months, there has not been a single issue. The safety bars are pretty clumsy to adjust so I opted to use the spotter arms instead for quick adjustments.

30" version review
My GF and I purchased the 30" R3 BT during Black Friday 2017. The quality is great, everything fits together perfect, all pieces were included, no damage, the welds finished nicely, etc etc. Basically everything positive in other reviews holds true. I'll try and mention things I never read in other reviews, especially regarding the 30" model.
We decided to buy the Bolt Together version in order to get the 30" upgrade. We ALMOST got the Monster Lite (RML-390F) version instead with the 2 long feet (also 30")...but originally planned to have this thing directly on concrete. Unfortunately our concrete is very uneven with many cracks and the 2 long feet seemed difficult to level. One with 4 separate feet and shims seemed the best option, so we started looking at the regular R3. Since my GF and I sometimes lift at the same time, we wanted to be able to have a set up where we could both be using loaded/racked barbells. We considered getting the regular welded R3 and putting it in the middle of the garage and using both sides...but that cut off pullup height due to beams and a garage door motor. It also cut off our Olympic Lifting space. So....we spent a few days doing complex math...and figured out there was probably enough room for two people to lift at once on this 30" version while against a wall, and bought it.
Once received, we put it together no problem. Easier with two, but one could do it. It lifts and moves around fairly easy with only two people. It's very easy to set upright, then back horizontal again if needed. We tested the two squatting at a time theory and IT WORKS! She can squat inside the rack with a loaded bar, and I can have mine set up on the opposite side, outside the uprights. If we roll my bar to the outer edge of the J-Cups, it's plenty of room if she's careful and takes a small step.
It's 18" between plates. See attached pic.
All in all, I am very happy with this rack. I lag bolted it to my platform. We made the platform because the floor was so cracked and uneven. I cut and laid multiple layers of roofing felt (tar paper) to even it out best I could, then built the platform on top. The platform is 2 layers of 5/8" OSB, and one layer of 3/4" AC plywood/stall mats...for 2" total thickness. It's 8'x10' rectangle. I used twelve 2.5" x 1/2" lag bolts. The feet of this rack are 3/8" thick, and I used 2x 1/8" thick washers per bolt, so the 2.5" lag bolts go almost all the way through the 2" platform.
I followed advice on another R3 review and assembled the rack, leaving all bolts loose, bolted down the feet first, then tightened up all cross members last. I would recommend doing the opposite...tightening all cross members down before bolting to ground. My platform has about a 1/16" convex bow in it, in the middle of the rack, and moves when stepped on. I theorize that when bolting the cross members together after the feet were fastened down, it pulled the feet together slightly, creating an uplift or warping of the platform? Seems, crazy, but possible. Also, the uprights measure slightly different distances from each other, depending where you measure (up high or down low). I think I could have avoided these issues if I bolted the entire rack together nice and tight before bolting to ground/platform.
Regardless, 12 lag bolts into a 2" platform has this thing feeling solid. No worries there in my opinion, and I aggressively slam my bars into the J cups. With a flat floor, I'd consider getting the RML-390F instead, just because it's a bit more modular, easier to deal with, and about the same price. If you want 4 feet and 30", the R3 BT is the one.
All in all, a badass rack, worth the upgrade to the 30" especially if sharing with a homie.

Solid
I received the rack pretty quickly considering the season, ~2.5 weeks. The set up was easy and this rack feels really solid.
I bought this because I change cities a lot and was hoping that the tear down and set up would be relatively painless. So far, so good.
