The Rogue Rhino has already been reviewed countless times online, and honestly, most of what could be said has been said already. There are endless YouTube videos, Reddit threads, and Instagram posts showing its versatility. If you want inspiration or programming ideas, Pro Tim on Instagram is the gold standard — the things he has discovered with the Rhino are unbelievable. Even so, after owning it and using it extensively, I can say with complete confidence: it’s one of the best pieces of equipment you can buy for long-term training, joint health, and squat variation. The arms dont fall back like old reviews suggest and once in place they stay. Training Uses Between the Rhino and the Monster Lite Functional Trainer, my setup is now as complete as I could ever want it. I use the Rhino primarily for: Squat variations Single-leg work (amazing for this) Weighted push-ups using a dip attachment (Matador / ML dip) mounted where the Rhino’s horn usually sits And that’s before even getting into the usual belt squat options or the hundreds of creative uses other people have demonstrated. Learning to Belt Squat I’ll be honest: the first time you belt squat on a Rhino, it feels strange. If you try to use the same cues as a barbell squat, you’ll probably feel off-balance and look a bit disconnected between upper and lower body. That’s normal. Belts squats aren’t meant to replicate a barbell squat exactly — different line of pull, different loading path, no axial load, and a more upright torso angle. I take grip out of it and bearly touch the handles . Pulling on them makes the whole movement look and feel awkward. Go lite woth the hands and heavy with the legs Once I actually learned belt squat technique rather than forcing barbell squat cues, it clicked. The most helpful resource I found was the JuggernautAI belt squat technique breakdown on YouTube. That immediately fixed the awkwardness. The biggest technical points: Stand far enough forward so the cable runs straight through your midline Don’t stand too far back, or the cable will angle and feel unnatural Lifting shoes help even if you normally squat barefoot and allow for forward knee travel Treat heavy belt squats more like a low-bar squat pattern Treat hypertrophy belt squats like an upright, quad-biased pattern Once you work those out, the Rhino becomes incredibly intuitive. Hypertrophy Squats = Game Changer For high-rep work, the Rhino is on another level. Upright stance, long ROM, and zero axial load means you can do: Myo-reps 1–2 second pauses in the hole Extended sets Tempo variations …all without destroying your back or compressing your spine. Finishing leg sessions with 1–2 high-intensity hypertrophy sets on the Rhino is phenomenal. Accessories & Variations You can attach a Spud Inc Front Squat Harness to do front squats on the Rhino. That turns it into more of an axial-loading tool, but still a great variation. And that same harness lets you do weighted push-ups using the dip arm in place of the Rhino horn — an extremely underrated use. I didn’t love the Rhino for RDLs. A barbell just feels better for that pattern. That said, I’ve only tried it once, so I may just not be used to it yet. I will experiment in the future but you do need a partner to unrack for you as you will be holding the bar, unless you start from the bottom. Future Potential With how good the current design is, I genuinely hope Rogue continue to expand it beyond low rows. There’s huge potential here. With the tower, rails, carriage, and leverage options available, it feels like a platform they could easily evolve into: A pendulum squat A hack squat variation Other lever-based machines It feels like Rogue are quietly working on something — the foundation is already there. C"mon!! For someone like me who may not always be able to barbell squat long-term, the Rhino effectively future-proofs my squatting. And even now that I am able to barbell squat again, the Rhino lets me: Add volume without axial fatigue Use completely different movement patterns Do posterior chain or quad-biased work safely Load single-leg variations heavily It complements barbell training perfectly. Build Quality As expected from Rogue: Frame is rock solid Carriage is smooth Trolley system is robust (it will be slack when racked and thats normal, during assembly dont try and take slackness out when its at rest ) Cable path is clean Footprint is efficient My only nitpick? It would be nice if the tower had something a bit more than a sticker at the top — maybe a plate, logo badge, or metal emblem. But that’s cosmetic. Functionally, it’s flawless. Also, the shipping was a killer here in Europe. It was the price of some machines alone. Just beware so its bot a shock. Final Verdict The Rhino is simply amazing. It does exactly what it’s designed to do, opens up countless movement options, and feels like something I’ll be able to use for decades. For hypertrophy, joint longevity, and variation, it may be the most valuable equipment Rogue make. I recommend it without hesitation.

Absolute BEAST!!! Worth Every Dime.

Extremely happy with this purchase! It meets and has exceeded my expectations.

I tried one before I bought for my home gym. The Rhino belt squat is the best belt squat I’ve tried . That being said I’ve never tried the Winning. The Rhino is super smooth and you don’t have to load any more weight on this machine than you normally would squat.

Love this piece of equipment! Makes squatting easier without the taxation on my back and shoulders. I have thicker thighs so getting use to the belt was interesting. Once I figured out what loops to attached the cable to, everything was a breeze. Not only do I squat but I even deadlift, Split squat, Bulgarian split squat, sumo deadlift, Bulgarian deadlift, march in place. There is more that can be done than just squat. My set up is in my basement so getting it inside piece by piece was fun. Needed help with the back post with the trolley. Took about 2.5 hours to assemble. Can with stand a tornado!! Sorry if this review doesn’t make sense, writing it while pre workout is kicking in lol

Received this for Christmas - about 5 months in and I’m still in the honeymoon phase. Doing belt squats feels amazing - trolley is super smooth and the belt it comes with is very comfortable. I don’t miss bar squats at all. Picked up the Mulit-use Roller - combine that with a pair of Monster Safety Arms, and you got yourself a leg extension machine + more. Hoping Rogue releases the low row extension they include with the rack model. !

love my new belt squat! it's has allowed me to get back to heavy squats in my late 40's without the strain on my back and shoulders. Looking forward to growing those wheels!!!!!

I tried out several belt squats before buying a Rhino. They all felt puny and wobbly or had a bad range of motion. Not the Rhino. This is an awesome piece of equipment. It's very robust and can hold all the weight you'd need. The range of motion is unmatched. The sled is extremely smooth. I'm 6'3 and it provides plenty of options to adjust to my height. I immediately swapped out the provided carabiner as it is annoying you undo after every set. I would love to see Rogue come out with some attachments for this like a bolt on seat for seated belt squats or lunges or perhaps a bench that allows the option to do seal rows. Getting my welder out now haha
