Rogue Echo Squat Stand 2.0

Buy Now · $485.00

Rogue’s S-2 Squat Stand 2.0 is the successor to the original Echo/ES-1 squat stand, keeping the same compact 48” x 48” footprint but stepping up to a taller 92” frame, 2x3” 11-gauge steel uprights, and Rogue’s Infinity-series Westside hole spacing (1” through the bench and pull zone, 2” above and below). It’s built in Rogue’s Columbus, Ohio facility, tested to a 1,000+ lb load rating, and ships with UHMW-lined J-cups that won’t mark up barbell sleeves – a clear upgrade from the plain plastic cups on the older ES-1.

An adjustable fat/skinny pull-up bar (2” or 1.25”) comes standard and doubles as an 88” pull-up station, and the 2x3” uprights are compatible with the full range of Rogue Infinity attachments – dip bars, a landmine post, plate storage, and an optional yoke conversion kit – so a single stand covers squats, bench, pull-ups, dips, and belt-squat work. It isn’t bolted to the floor, so very heavy accommodating- resistance band work can shift it slightly, and buyers who want resistance-band pegs need to source their own since none are included.

What is a Squat Stand?

What a squat stand is

A squat stand is a two-post, free-standing rack for squats and presses — most of a power rack’s capability in a smaller, cheaper, movable package. Uprights are joined by a pull-up crossmember for stability. Monster Lite (3x3) stands are the premium tier; 2x3 stands cost less and still handle most home training. Note that a squat stand’s safeties are shorter than a full cage’s, so many lifters pair one with spotter arms for heavy solo work.

Rogue’s S-2 Squat Stand (the current product behind this Echo Squat Stand 2.0 listing) replaces the shorter, simpler original Echo/ES-1 stand with a taller 92” frame, Westside hole spacing, and Infinity- compatible J-cups, and two independent video reviewers who ran it for months describe it as noticeably more solid than its predecessor under squats and bench, with negligible wobble even loaded near its 1,000+ lb rating. Versatility is the standout – the adjustable fat/skinny pull-up bar, dip and landmine attachments, and an optional yoke conversion kit turn a single stand into a near-full home rig. Durability holds up structurally over a full year of regular use, though the plastic base plugs and powdercoat show cosmetic wear quickly, and the independent GymRadar sample (3.59/5, 4 reviews) is thin enough that it shouldn’t be read as a settled verdict.

  • +Functionality: tested to 1,000+ lb and feels stable at heavy squat and bench loads per two independent video reviewers (YouTube: Gerardo Silva; YouTube: Three Storm Fitness)
  • +Build quality: UHMW-lined J-cups are a clear step up from the predecessor ES-1's plastic cups and won't mark up barbell sleeves (YouTube: Three Storm Fitness)
  • +Durability: one reviewer reported a full year of 3-4x-weekly use with no wobble or loosening (YouTube: Gerardo Silva)
  • +Versatility: adjustable fat/skinny pull-up bar, Westside hole spacing, and Infinity attachment compatibility (dip bars, landmine, yoke conversion kit) support squats, bench, pull-ups, dips, and belt squats on one stand (YouTube: Three Storm Fitness)
  • +Value: roughly $425-485 with free shipping, well under a full power rack while still handling four-digit loads (YouTube: Three Storm Fitness; manufacturer)
  • Durability: the plastic plugs covering the base holes pop out easily and the powdercoat picks up scratches with regular use -- cosmetic rather than structural (YouTube: Gerardo Silva)
  • Build quality: not bolted to the floor, so very heavy loading or band-resisted work can shift it slightly (YouTube: Three Storm Fitness)
  • Value: no resistance-band pegs included despite holes drilled for them; buyers need to source their own (YouTube: Three Storm Fitness)
  • Functionality: independent rating sample is thin -- GymRadar shows 3.59/5 from just 4 reviewers, a more mixed signal than the enthusiastic video reviews or the manufacturer's own 4.9/160 (GymRadar; manufacturer)
