Rogue Adjustable Monolift 1.0

The Rogue Adjustable Monolift is a rack-mounted attachment that lets a lifter unrack and re-rack a barbell in place, eliminating the walk-out on squats and the lift-off on bench press. Version 1.0 – the original design, since superseded by Rogue’s AM-2 Adjustable Monolift 2.0 – mounts exclusively to Rogue’s 3x3” Monster series rigs and racks via a pair of 1” hitch pins, and adjusts in 1” height increments.

Each pair of 0.75”-thick steel jaw hooks carries counterweight handles: lift the bar off and the hooks swing back several inches toward the rack, clearing space for the rest of the set and lining up at a slanted angle for easy re-racking. UHMW plastic liners run along the hooks, clasps, and back of the unit to protect the barbell finish, and a “backstop” bolt above each primary hook bolt keeps the unit from moving further away from the rack while a lifter sets up. Owners and reviewers consistently praise how much easier it makes training solo, especially heavy bench work. The tradeoffs, per independent reviewers, are mostly ergonomic: it’s bulkier to store than the 2.0 (it doesn’t stand on its own once removed), extends roughly 16-17” off the rack into the working area, and has no UHMW protection at the rack-mounting point itself – steel sits directly on steel there, unlike the redesigned 2.0.
