Rogue R-6 Power Rack Assessment: Features and Specifications
As all power racks, Rogue R-6 is your best partner in working out alone. Weight training usually requires a spotter as safeguards but with power racks, you will always have a failsafe. You might think that lifting weight within your capacity will lessen if not prevent weight lifting accidents but you couldn’t be more wrong. You will realize this as you push yourself to a near exhaustion with all your muscles cramping, that it’s better safe than sorry. Also, you will only reach a higher level in working out by setting up higher goals. You can only push yourself so much if you are confident that you are safe and no accident is going to happen. Here is where a power rack comes in.
A power rack has a safety feature called safety catches, which prevents the weight from going beyond a certain point. This is a great aid to you if you lose control of the bar or fails at the bottom of the rep hence allowing you to do safe and efficient light to heavyweight barbell exercises.
It is entirely customizable with the help of sets of pins that can be adjusted to your height, preferences, or exercises you may want to perform.
