Overview
The Rogue FM-HR Twin Functional Trainer Add-On is a high-performance conversion kit designed to upgrade the Rogue RM-3 Monster Rack into a comprehensive training center. This add-on integrates a dual-stack functional trainer and a combined-load lat pulldown/low row station directly into the rack's frame. By positioning the weight stacks on the side, it maintains an incredibly compact footprint, extending only 3.5” behind the rack. This "Twin" configuration is unique because it internally combines the 2:1 output of both stacks to provide a full 250 LB or 300 LB of resistance for heavy pulling movements.

Performance Benefits
Maximum Versatility: Transitions seamlessly between unilateral functional training, bilateral cable work, heavy lat pulldowns, and low rows without unhooking or reconfiguring cables.
Dual-User Capability: Independent weight sources allow two users to perform different movements on the adjustable pulleys simultaneously.
High-Capacity Pulling: Unlike many compact trainers, the Twin configuration provides the heavy resistance needed for advanced back development by combining both stacks.
Consolidated Footprint: Built-in design eliminates the need for standalone machines, preserving floor space in garage gyms or high-traffic facilities.
Grab-and-Go Functionality: Patent-pending design means you simply grab the handle you need; no hardware swaps required between exercise stations.
Maintenance and Care
Floor Anchoring: The rack must be securely bolted to the floor using concrete anchors to manage the added weight and mechanical leverage.
Guide Rod Lubrication: Wipe down the chrome-plated guide rods monthly and apply a thin layer of silicone-based lubricant to ensure a smooth, silent weight stack glide.
Cable Inspection: Periodically check the 3/16" aircraft cable for signs of wear, fraying, or kinking. Replace immediately if damage is detected.
Trolley Rollers: Keep the vertical uprights clean and free of dust to ensure the precision-machined rollers slide without resistance.
Hardware Audit: Regularly verify that all 1" oversized hardware and pulley bolts are tightened to Rogue’s specified torque.
Warranty Information
Frame and Welds: Lifetime Warranty.
