Rogue Monster Rhino Belt Squat + Rack
Custom Configuration Pairs Our Drop-In Belt Squat System with a Monster RM-3 for Dual Use

For athletes who want the unique benefits of a Belt Squat with the option of simultaneously training with traditional barbell movements, this special Rhino Belt Squat + Rack package is configured specifically for that dual purpose. It includes our complete Drop-In Monster Rhino Belt Squat system along with a customized Monster RM-3 Power Rack, measuring 100.375″ tall and 24” in depth, with 43” beams and gussets (no pull-up bar). 

Please Note: The Drop-In Rhino is compatible ONLY with Rogue Monster Series Power Racks and Fortis Racks. A Freestanding Rhino is also available, which does not require a rack for set-up.

This patent pending Monster Rhino Belt Squat is manufactured in Columbus, Ohio, and features 3×3” arms and crossmembers, a 3×6” weight trolley tower, and a 0.25″ braided cable for raising/lowering the weight trolley. When not in use, the trolley is stored on a 1″ thick UHMW plastic hook, or “Rhino Horn.” A diamond-tread plate platform provides steady footing, adjustable handles offer overhand and neutral grip options, and our exclusive Rogue Multi Belt (included standard) easily accommodates most waist sizes, with adjustments from 41” to 61”. The entire Rhino unit (aside from the platform, handles and weight posts) is finished in our Medium Gloss Black powdercoat.

Set-Up: The Rhino and Rack ship freight, with some assembly required, and must be bolted to the floor before use. A pair of Monster 1” Wrenches are included, however additional tools will be required to finish assembly. When complete, the trolley tower will reach a height of 78.5″ from the floor, and the unit will extend approx. 21.5″ off the back face of the rack uprights closest to the tower. Additional clearance (beyond 21.5″) is required for adding plates.

Using the Rhino Belt Squat + RM-3: Step onto the platform and strap on the Rogue Multi Belt around your hips. Upon standing up, the trolley will rise and disengage from the Rhino Horn. This allows users to then pull back on the handles and start squatting. Once the handles are pulled back, they will stay back until the user pushes the handles back towards the tower, allowing the horn to safely re-engage the trolley. With this special configuration with the RM-3, athletes can also incorporate barbell movements into their workout while using the Belt Squat at the same time.

Benefits of Belt Squats: Some athletes perform belt squats in place of traditional back squats / front squats / Zercher squats as a way of reducing spinal compression and shoulder stress, moving the lion’s share of the load onto the hips and legs. Similarly, anyone rehabbing from an upper body injury (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, etc.) can use this method to still get in their lower body work without having to worry about supporting a barbell. For still others, training simultaneously with a barbell and belt squat offers a unique full body workout.

Belt Squats also provide traction to the spine, help add substantial volume to the legs, and offer versatility for other types of training, from calf raises to rows, shrugs, and deadlifts—all easily performed even in a home gym with limited space.
