Monster 43" Flip-down Safeties

These things are tough like tanks. They are a pretty price for what they are, but I would say worth it. Even more so if you can find them used. They are heavy duty and can be adjusted rather quick.

Solid ass safeties. Adjusting them wasn’t bad. I did sale them only because I sold the front uprights. I got front uprights back but didn’t get these only because of the price.

I sold and kept the straps. Clunky to move and while this might not be the fault of the equipment I much prefer straps. Typical Rogue overbuilt and super solid if not a bit pricey.

We bought our Rogue rack used and these were the safeties included with it. Huge step up from the pin & pipe garbage, not sure if they're better than the strap system. They do their job, but really only get moved on a heavy squat day or for pin presses. They've done fine on the rare occasion a loaded bar gets dumped on them. Adjusting them is easy enough, but it's amazing how lazy a person can be while exercising, so for the most part they stay stored at the lowest serviceable setting. Like previously stated, we didn't purchase them directly from Rogue, but it's rare Rogue will get 5 stars for value in my mind.

I have these, the straps and the spotters and find myself using these the least. I mostly use them for putting a belt squat platform on within the rack and in conjunction with the utility seat.

My only previous experience with rack safeties was pins in a cheap Amazon rack. That was horrible, so I absolutely love these flip-down safeties. They can handle (I assume) ten times more weight than I would ever be able to lift and they are quick and easy to adjust. They are relatively heavy, so someone smaller might struggle a bit with them- but as long as I use both hands I have no issues. They also have holes along the side similar to most spotter arms that can be used for various attachments- handles for dips, landmine, leg rollers, etc. I have never used straps so I can't compare but these are a massive upgrade from pin and pipe safeties and I highly recommend them. Only knocking off a star on value because they are more expensive than similar products from other companies.
