Overview
The Rogue S-1 to S-2 Conversion Kit is a cost-effective solution for owners of the Rogue S-1 Squat Stand who want to upgrade their existing unit into a fully functional S-2 Squat Stand. By replacing the original 70" uprights with 90" uprights and adding a pull-up bar, this kit transforms a basic squat and bench station into a complete training hub. This upgrade allows athletes to keep their original base, crossbar, and J-cups while gaining the ability to perform pull-ups and use taller attachments like the Matador.

Performance Benefits
Enhanced Functionality: Instantly adds a high-quality pull-up station to your home gym without requiring a completely new rack purchase.
Increased Attachment Options: Converting to an S-2 makes the stand compatible with the Rogue Infinity Matador (dip station), which is not recommended for use on the shorter S-1.
Cost Savings: Leveraging your existing S-1 base and hardware saves significant money and reduces waste compared to buying a standalone S-2.
Infinity Reliability: Utilizes the same 2x3" 11-gauge US steel that defines the Rogue Infinity Series, ensuring the uprights can handle heavy racking and dynamic pull-up movements.
Space-Efficient Growth: Perfect for athletes whose training needs have evolved or who have moved to a space with higher ceilings.
Maintenance and Care
Initial Hardware Check: During installation, ensure all 5/8" hardware is torqued correctly. Since you are reuseing the base, check those bolts as well.
Hardware Audit: Periodically check the pull-up bar bolts and upright-to-base connections every 6 months to ensure the unit remains rigid during use.
Surface Cleaning: Wipe down the powder-coated uprights and pull-up bar with a mild soap and water solution.
Rust Prevention: If your gym is in a garage, keep the steel dry and touch up any scratches in the powder coat with matte black paint to prevent surface oxidation.
Assembly Tip: Enlist a second person to help hold the 90" uprights in place while you thread the bolts through the base and pull-up bar.
Warranty Information
Frame and Welds: Guaranteed by Rogue for Life.
Hardware: Standard Rogue limited warranties apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this for the SML-1 (Monster Lite)?
A: No. This kit is specifically for the 2x3" Infinity S-1. The SML-1 uses 3x3" steel and requires a different set of uprights and crossmembers.
Q: Which pull-up bar should I choose?
A: The Single Skinny Bar is standard for most athletes. The Fat/Skinny Bar is great for those who want to train grip strength, though some users find the larger bar can interfere with forearm clearance when using the skinny side.
Q: Will this fit under an 8-foot ceiling?
A: Yes. At 92" tall, it leaves approximately 4 inches of clearance in a standard 96" (8ft) room.
Q: What do I do with my old 70" uprights?
A: Many users repurpose them for DIY projects or sell them to other S-series owners looking for replacement parts.
