Rogue Combo Rack

At Iron Fortress, we believe that your training environment should match your competitive ambitions. We chose the Rogue Combo Rack specifically to bridge the gap between daily training and competition. Unlike standard commercial gym setups, this rack is engineered to International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) specifications, offering the exact geometry and rigidity required for elite performance.

For Denver athletes preparing for sanctioned meets, this isn't just a squat stand—it is a precision tool. Whether you are un-racking a maximal squat or setting up for a bench press PR, the Rogue Combo Rack eliminates the variables of inferior equipment, allowing you to focus entirely on force production and technique.

The Rogue Combo Rack stands apart from conventional power cages through its innovative hybrid power rack design and commercial grade rack construction. Built with precision engineering and competition-grade specifications, this rack delivers the structural rigidity and versatility that serious powerlifters and streetlifters demand. Understanding these key differences helps athletes appreciate why this equipment represents the gold standard in modern strength training facilities.

• 3x3 Steel Uprights: Fabricated from 11-gauge steel, these uprights provide exceptional stability under 1,000+ pound loads.
• Powder Coat Rack Finish: The durable powder coat finish resists wear from Denver's climate and constant heavy use over decades.
• Commercial Grade Rack Construction: Built to IPF specifications with 5/8" hardware that maintains integrity under max-effort attempts.
• Superior Structural Rigidity: The 100"+ width base and 43" depth create a phenomenally stable platform that eliminates sway.
• Exceptional Load Capacity Rating: Engineered to handle 1,000+ pounds total capacity without shifting during aggressive re-racks.
• Westside Hole Spacing: Features 1" hole increments through bench and squat zones for ultra-precise J-cup and safety arm placement.
• Competition-Accurate Geometry: Matches IPF, USAPL, and USPA platform standards for seamless transition from training to meets.
• Height Adjustments While Loaded: The jack lever system allows for height adjustments without removing plates, enabling multiple users to train together seamlessly.
• High-Friction Bench Pad: Unlike standard gym benches, the pad offers the necessary friction for benching with a strong arch and full leg drive.

We selected this rack because it solves the two biggest problems athletes face in standard gyms: instability and lack of specificity. A standard power cage often restricts movement or forces compromised positioning due to fixed upright widths. The Rogue Combo Rack features a competition-grade design that optimizes both safety and biomechanics, creating a versatile station for serious powerlifting.

Instead of the rigid constraints of a standard rack, this unit features adjustable upright arms that can be angled inward. This critical design element allows athletes with limited shoulder mobility to utilize a wider grip without their hands being obstructed by the uprights. This capability mimics standard competition settings, ensuring that you can maintain your preferred grip width and train exactly as you would on the platform, while still providing the structural stability needed for maximal loads.

One of the primary reasons lifters in Denver choose Iron Fortress is our commitment to "platform-accurate" training. If you compete in the USAPL, USPA, PA, the IPF, or USASL,you know that equipment familiarity can make or break a meet. By training on the Rogue Combo Rack, you are reinforcing the specific muscle memory required for competition day.

By pairing this rack with our calibrated plates, Iron Fortress provides a simulation of meet conditions that is unmatched in the region.

• Consistent Geometry: The bench height, pad width, and upright width match competition standards, meaning your setup remains consistent from the gym floor to the platform.
• Spotter Integration: The design allows spotters to step in closer and more effectively than in a four-post cage, mirroring the safety protocols of a sanctioned meet.
• Rigid Stability: With a wide footprint and heavy-duty construction, the rack has zero sway or "give," even under maximal loads.

We understand that our members often train on their own schedules. The Rogue Combo Rack is designed to keep you safe during solo max-effort sessions. The rack includes robust, adjustable safety spotter arms with a double-lock pin system. These arms can be set with millimeter precision to catch a failed squat or bench press just below your range of motion, protecting you without interfering with a successful lift.

Investing in the Rogue Combo Rack is a declaration of our values. We don't fill our floor with generic fitness machines; we curate a facility for those who respect the iron. Whether you are a seasoned competitor looking to refine your total, or a dedicated enthusiast tired of wobbly commercial gym racks, Iron Fortress offers the professional environment you deserve.
