Overview
The Rogue Squat Stand Base Storage is a specialized, space-saving attachment designed to mount directly to the flat-foot base of your squat stand. By moving your weight storage to the base, you not only clear floor space but also add significant weight to the bottom of the rack. This increases the overall stability of the unit, especially during high-rep movements like kipping pull-ups or when racking heavy barbells on a non-bolted stand.

Performance Benefits
Enhanced Stability: Adding several hundred pounds of plates to the base of a squat stand acts as a natural anchor. This is a "must-have" for athletes who perform pull-ups on an S-2 or SML-2 and want to minimize rack sway.
Maximized Space: Utilizes the "dead space" on the base of the rack that is usually unoccupied, keeping your gym's footprint as tight as possible.
Versatile Post Length: At 21", these are the longest storage posts Rogue offers for racks. They can easily hold a full set of bumpers and several iron 45s on a single side.
Cleaner Workflow: Keeps your primary plates at the base of the rack, making them easy to slide off and onto the bar during heavy deadlift or squat sessions.
Maintenance and Care
Installation Tip: This unit typically bolts on using the rack's existing hardware. However, if you are also using wheel attachments (casters) on the base, you will likely need longer bolts to accommodate both attachments.
Hardware Inspection: Check the base bolts monthly. Because these posts hold significant weight at the base, the vibration from use can occasionally cause hardware to settle.
Floor Protection: Ensure the rubber feet of your squat stand are properly seated. The added weight of the plates will increase the pressure on your flooring.
Cleaning: Wipe the powder-coated posts with a damp cloth to remove chalk and dust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my SML-1 (70" tall) stand? A: Yes. It is fully compatible with the SML-1 base and is a great way to keep that compact rack from shifting during heavy re-racks.
Q: Can I use this with Monster Series (3x3" with 1" hardware) stands? A: No. This is designed for the 5/8" hardware and base hole spacing of the Monster Lite and Infinity squat stands.
Q: Does it interfere with benching? A: Because these are mounted on the base tubes (on the floor), they typically do not interfere with the barbell path or the placement of an adjustable bench.
