We all know rogue equipment is pricey, but you truly get what you pay for. I’ve always like the concept of separate squat stand holders but everything on the market is cheap and unstable. When I got the box it was definitely sturdy it came in four boxes insulation was a breeze and started working out immediately. Yes they are heavy pieces individually but they are sturdy they do not move when you squat and bench press put the barbell back on it this is my second rogue product my first one was the Rogue Echo Bike. Honestly what I love the most about it is it really has a small footprint yes they’re tall but it is a squat stand But you can condense them move them and put them where you like

Pros: Very stable -- I loaded 450lbs at squat height without any problems Versatile for a its size -- Squats, bench variations even pull-ups. Attach bands to it and you can strech Durable - the powder coat finish on it is excellent I would imagine this unit would decades Cons: Heavier than other squat stands but that's because it's 11 gage Might tip backwards if you slam the bar into the j-cups You need a spotter or room to dump the bar if you fail 1 rep maxes!

Fantastic quality, very sturdy they don't even move when you rack the bar after squats or bench press. I love them.

bought this squat stand combo with the ohio bar and the collars. shipping to GER was very fast! collars are not available at the moment, but i got a mail a few weeks later, that they are shipped. great service from rogue!

I 100% don't regret buying this squat stand As other reviewers have said, it's very sturdy. It's a huge upgrade from the light, cheap, flimsy stands I had before. The downside to this sturdiness is the sheer weight of each stand, which makes them harder to move than the lighter stands I used to use, and that cancels out some of the benefit. Why this stand is awesome: --Truly a space saving and very cost efficient choice. --the independent stands allow flexibility in where you position them and how much space you have between uprights. I can, for example, move them close together to rack my curl bar, or I can move them to the wall if I'm using the platform for lifts from the floor. --You *can* put Infinity spotter arms on these for that critical safety net when benching by yourself. The danger is that the stand can tip over, of course, but I've tested them up to 350 lbs at the ENDS of the arms before that happens--they hold even more as you move in toward the uprights. --I'm a huge fan of the Westside spacing on the uprights. It allows you to get the J cups and spotters at just the right spot when benching. Considerations before you buy: --Obviously, there's no built-in pull up bar, so that is just something to account for if you're trying to build up your home gym on a budget. --As I said above, the stands are very heavy, so they're not especially easy to move around (and the reason to get indies is so you can move them around). I wish there were casters on the bases to help move them. I'd install some, but there are no holes on the base.

Honestly, I was sceptical of August Schmidt’s comment about them being the ‘most stable indies’… However, upon using them for the first time, the only thing I could think about was how awesome and stable they were! Came in perfect condition, easy to assemble and sturdy as hell! Had some issues with the J-cups, but Rogue fixed those for me very quickly! Their customer service is really world-class!

I purchased this stand several weeks ago and it exceeds my expectations. The Rogue S-4 Squat Stand is a top quality product. Stability is excellent for each independant stand, and all the features are top notched. This stand is my go to tool for bench work, squats, & arm workouts.

I'm using these stands primarily for bench presses. For that they are fantastic. I have confidence in their stability as I rack the weights at the end of a set.
