Overview
The Rogue FML-6 Twin Functional Trainer is the ultimate space-saving power rack and cable station combo designed for the Monster Lite series. This versatile unit features a full power rack, a vertically adjustable 2:1 functional trainer, and a 1:1 lat pulldown and low row station. The "Twin" designation refers to the dual independent weight stacks positioned on the sides of the rack, which significantly reduces the overall depth compared to traditional rear-mounted systems. This configuration allows for independent unilateral training while internally combining the stacks for high-capacity pulls.

Key Features and Specifications
Monster Lite Compatibility: Built using 3x3" 11-gauge steel tubing with 5/8” hardware (Monster Lite Series).
Dual Weight Stacks: Comes with (2) 250 LB or 300 LB weight stacks.
Innovative Pulley Ratios:
2:1 Ratio: For functional trainer trolleys (smooth travel, perfect for isolation).
1:1 Ratio: Internally combines both weight stacks for lat pulldown and low row movements (providing true heavy resistance).
Cable Quality: 3/16" US-made Military Spec Aircraft Cable.
Vertical Adjustability: Swiveling pulley trolleys feature precision rollers for effortless one-handed height changes.
Dimensions:
Height: 91.5".
Width: 53" (no weight storage) or 75-3/4" (with weight storage).
Depth: Varies by configuration (typically 64" to 83").
Rear Extension: Weight stacks extend only 5” behind the rear of the rack.
Manufacturing: Made in the USA with imported pulleys.
Performance Benefits
Four Machines in One: Consolidates a power rack, functional trainer, lat pulldown, and low row into a single footprint, saving significant square footage.
Unilateral & Bilateral Training: Dual independent weight sources allow two users to perform different cable movements at once or one user to train with perfectly balanced resistance.
No Reconfiguration: Patent-pending routing allows you to move between the trolley, lat pulldown, and low row without unhooking carabiners or swapping cables.
Compact Depth: By placing weight stacks on the side rather than the rear, the rack can be pushed closer to a wall than traditional selectorized racks.
Standard Attachment Ready: Works with any standard cable attachment; no proprietary bridges required to achieve 1:1 resistance for pulldowns.
Maintenance and Care
Bolting Requirement: This unit must be securely bolted to the floor to ensure safety and stability during heavy cable and barbell training.
Cable Tension: Periodically check that the cables are taut. If the top weight plate is not seating fully, adjust the cable tension at the termination point according to the provided instructions.
Lubrication: Clean the weight stack guide rods monthly. Apply a thin coat of silicone-based lubricant to maintain a friction-free, silent glide.
Hardware Audit: Monthly inspections are recommended to ensure all 5/8” bolts and pulley hardware remain tightened to spec.
General Cleaning: Wipe down the frame with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the aluminum pulleys or custom powder coat finishes.
Warranty Information
Frame and Welds: Lifetime Warranty.
Pulleys, Cables, and Guide Rods: 5-Year Warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this include a seat for lat pulldowns?
A: A dedicated seat is not standard. The Rogue Monster Lite Multi-Use Rack Roller is the recommended accessory to serve as a thigh catch when using a flat bench for pulldowns.
Q: Can I upgrade my existing RML-690 rack?
A: Yes, an "Add-On" version is available for customers who already own a 6-post Monster Lite rack.
Q: What is the benefit of the 2:1 ratio on the trolleys?
A: It provides twice the cable travel and finer weight increments, which is ideal for functional movements, rehabilitation, and isolation exercises.
Q: How much ceiling height is required for assembly?
A: A minimum of 92" to 95" of vertical clearance is required to assemble the top crossmembers and pulley plates.
