Product Description

MONSTER LITE COMPETITION BENCH

Rogue’s Monster Lite Competition Bench is a patented, stand-alone bench press station equipped with a pair of 3x3” 11-gauge steel uprights and a set of ML J-Cups for built-in rackability with any standard barbell.

At a height of 57.75” and compact footprint of 53.5” x 49.5”, this American-made bench is suited to any type of training space. The uprights feature the same Westside hole spacing and laser-cut numbering as their full-size rig/rack counterparts, allowing for an assortment of add-ons and customization options. We’ve also designed these uprights with holes along the sides (6” on-center), Rogue-branded plastic caps on top, and a set of stabilizing base tubes with rubber feet to help fortify the structure and prevent any movement or imbalance as you train. The rubber pad on the front foot serves the same purpose.

Customers can choose from 4 different bench pad options with the Monster Lite Comp Bench, each at its own price point:

  • Standard Textured Foam Pad (47"L x 12"W x 2.5" Thick // 20 LBS) - Self-skinning, highly engineered polyurethane foam. Black w/ debossed Rogue branding. Includes a black substrate on the underside for a clean finished look that won’t deteriorate over time.
  • Competition Fat Pad (50"L x 12.5"W x 4.5" Thick // 24.5 LBS) - Black “grabber” vinyl. Wider than standard but narrower than Thompson Pad.
  • Thompson Fat Pad (50"L x 14.5"W x 4.5" Thick // 30 LBS) - Black “grabber” vinyl. Over-sized design promotes scapular movement, eliminates shoulder hangover, and optimizes back and upper body positioning.


Please Note: No matter which pad option you choose, it will measure a standard 17.5” off the ground. Units ordered with a fat pad are shipped with a shorter front foot and back crossmember to maintain this consistent pad height.

All units have a Medium Gloss Black finish with all included hardware finished in bright zinc. The bench ships completely disassembled for optimum efficiency and cost-savings, with easy step-by-step assembly using the following required tools (not provided):

  • 15/16” wrench / socket (2X)
  • 3/4” wrench / socket (2X)
  • 9/16” wrench / socket (1X)

KEY FEATURES OF THE ROGUE MONSTER LITE COMPETITION BENCH

QUALITY ROGUE CONSTRUCTION

Made in the USA, the Monster Lite Competition Bench introduces a new patented Rogue design, featuring 3x3” 11-gauge steel tubing (as well as 3/8" & 1/4” flat plate where necessary), finished in MG Black with bright zinc hardware. The uprights are spaced 43” apart and a set of Monster Lite J-cups are provided for the convenient racking of any standard barbell. Well suited to a small garage gym or a large high school / college / pro weight room, the bench is both heavy-duty (158 LBS) and compact (57.75” height, 53.5" x 49.5" footprint).

NUMBERED HOLES + WESTSIDE SPACING

The short uprights of the Comp Bench feature the same Westside hole spacing and laser-cut numbering as our standard 108” Monster Lite uprights, allowing for an assortment of add-ons and customization options. We’ve also designed these uprights with holes along the sides (6” on-center) and Rogue-branded plastic top caps.


REINFORCED STABILITY

We’ve included durable rubber feet on the unit’s base tubes and front foot, promoting greater stability for the entire bench as you train. Rather than having to bolt the unit to the floor, the feet safely stick and grip in place, preventing movement/sliding and keeping your gym floors protected.


3 PAD OPTIONS

Customers can choose their preferred style of bench pad from four distinct options. With all three versions, the assembled bench will still have a competition standard pad height of 17.5” above the floor.

Standard Textured Foam Pad ( 47"L x 12"W x 2.5" Thick // 20 LBS)

Competition Fat Pad (50"L x 12.5"W x 4.5" Thick // 24.5 LBS)

Thompson Fat Pad (50"L x 14.5"W x 4.5" Thick // 30 LBS)

MORE ADD-ON OPTIONS

The Monster Lite Competition Bench is easy to customize with useful, compatible add-ons, from a set of band pegs (which can be used with the 5/8” holes of the base tubes) to quality-built Spotter Decks and Safety Spotter Arms. Any of these options can be added directly to your order from the menu in the purchase area.

Excellent Quality, and a breeze to assemble
Couldn't be happier. This bench is well designed / built, takes up a relatively small amount of floor space, and is incredibly simple to assemble. The competition pad has been a game changer for me in terms of comfort and support. Exceptional value, there is literally nothing I would change. Also as a sidenote; I was surprised to find I can comfortably overhead press, by siting backwards on the pad.

Good bench.
It’s a good unit and unless you have significantly nuanced needs you probably don’t need anything more. I do like the bench being fixed in place as in the competition benches. The Thompson fat pad is also a nice addition. I should point out that despite the many reviews which claim the monster lite series is essentially the same as the monster series only with smaller holes and west side spacing. That is not the whole story. The bolts are smaller and supporting braces are smaller. Personally I would prefer if the monster light bench was built to the spec of the SM-1 squat rack. I see no reason it shouldn’t be. Also, the various bolt sizes on the monster light bench makes for frequent wrench switching (one of which is not supplied). I’d prefer if every bolt was a 1 inch type. It would be more sturdy and easy to assemble. Issues aside, I’m quite sure 99% of lifters will see the same strength gains with this bench as with the caged versions.
