SAML-24 Monster Lite Safety Spotter Arms (Pair)

Name: SAML-24 Monster Lite Safety Spotter Arms (Pair)
Brand: Rogue Fitness
Rating: 4.35 (16 reviews)

The SAML-24 is Rogue’s 24” Monster Lite safety spotter arm, sold in pairs: 3x3” 11-gauge tubing with welded end plates, a UHMW top insert to protect your bar’s knurl, and 5/8” hitch pins that lock into any Monster Lite (5/8”) rack. Pin-in spotter arms give you a bench-press safety net when you don’t want to reposition full safety straps or pins.

They only fit 5/8” Monster Lite uprights — Rogue’s 1”-hardware Spotter Arms are the Monster-series equivalent. For other rack add-ons, see the Dip Station and Leg Roller.

Use	bench/squat safety spotter arms (pair)
Mount	Monster Lite (5/8 in pin)
Steel	3x3 11-gauge
Capacity	24 in length

What is a Rack Attachment?

What rack attachments are

Rack attachments bolt or pin onto a power rack or squat stand to expand what it can do — J-cups and safety arms/straps (the essentials), plus dip bars, a landmine, a lat pulldown, weight-plate storage, roller J-cups, and more. They turn a rack into a whole gym.

Compatibility comes first

An attachment must match your rack’s upright size (2x2, 2x3, or 3x3) and hole pattern/hardware (e.g. 5/8-in vs 1-in holes, Westside spacing). Attachments are usually series-specific — a Monster Lite J-cup won’t fit an Echo upright — so confirm the fit before buying.

The SAML-24 is the default safety upgrade for any Monster Lite stand — Rogue’s 3x3” 11-gauge arms with a UHMW top pad catch failed reps without flinching, and long-term owners report zero failures after 6-10 years of hard use. Build quality is the standout (4.81/5 across GymRadar’s owner reviews), while the most consistent knock is versatility: reviewers repeatedly cite the arms’ bulk and weight eating up real estate on the upright, plus occasional hole misalignment at certain heights that limits fine adjustment. At $195/pair it’s a fair value next to lighter flip-down alternatives, and pairs naturally with the SML-1 or SML-2 stands.

+Functionality: rock-solid safety catch rated for max loads that doubles as a pin-press and dead-stop pressing platform (YouTube: Kurtis)
+Build quality: 3x3" 11-gauge welded steel with a countersunk UHMW top pad, rated 4.81/5 for Build Quality across 16 GymRadar reviews
+Durability: owners report zero failures after 6-10 years of regular use (GymRadar: Big Ben)
+Versatility: doubles as a band-peg anchor, an oversized-bar rest for strongman logs and hex bars, and an isometric pull-in platform (YouTube: Kurtis)

−Versatility: bulky and heavy, consuming real estate on the upright (GymRadar: Scottsdale Garage Gym, Brandon Tunquist, Basement Brandon)
−Functionality: the single top pin can land in a Westside hole with no aligned partner at certain heights, limiting the lowest usable setting (GymRadar: Vincent from KKB; YouTube: Kurtis)
−Value: pricier per-pair than lighter flip-down safety alternatives with similar catch performance (Garage Gym Reviews)
−Durability: the arm ends are bare steel rather than UHMW-covered, an exposed spot some owners note after years of use (GymRadar: Vincent from KKB)
