Overview
The Rogue FML-6 Functional Trainer is the definitive "all-in-one" strength station for the Rogue Monster Lite series. It combines a full power rack with a vertically adjustable 2:1 functional trainer and a 1:1 lat pulldown/low row station. By utilizing a single weight source—either a selectorized weight stack or a plate-loaded trolley—the FML-6 eliminates the need for separate, bulky machines. Built on the foundation of the popular RML-690 Rack, it provides a commercial-grade training experience with the footprint efficiency required for home and garage gyms.

Full Rack Functionality: Maintains the core strength of the RML-690, allowing for heavy lifting inside the rack with a variety of safety options.
Maintenance and Care
Floor Anchoring: This unit must be securely bolted to the floor using a concrete anchor kit to ensure safety under heavy cable or barbell loads.
Cable Inspection: Periodically check the aircraft-grade cables for signs of fraying, kinking, or coating wear. Replace cables immediately if damage is detected.
Lubrication: Clean the weight stack guide rods or plate-loaded rails monthly. Apply a thin layer of silicone-based lubricant to maintain a friction-free, silent glide.
Hardware Audit: Regularly check that all 5/8” hardware and pulley bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specification.
General Cleaning: Wipe down the frame with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive chemicals on the aluminum pulleys or custom powder coat finishes.

A: Yes, a "Functional Trainer Add-On" kit is available for current owners of the RML-690 rack.
-
Q: What is the benefit of the 250 LB weight stack?
A: The 250 LB stack provides 5” of additional cable travel compared to the 300 LB stack, making it a better option for dynamic, long-reach movements.
-
Q: How much ceiling height is required for assembly?
