Hydra Flat Foot Components

Long story short, I have a Monster Lite Rogue Squat Rack and was wanting to convert it to a Half Rack. I got a quote from Rogue, but it was way more expensive. Did some research and found out that the Hydra Hardware, Crossmembers, and Uprights are a 1 for 1 match with the 3x3 Rogue Monster Lite!

Bought the reinforcing plates to connect additional uprights and man, these are SO NICE! They even have the “BOS” cut out. These plates that connect uprights to the flat foot members are BETTER quality than the Rogue Plates. They feel and look so much nicer (3rd photo is the Rogue and BOS side by side). I really think people are sleeping on Bells of Steel. I used to be a Rogue diehard but that has changed. My only regret is not finding BOS sooner!

If you are looking for a quick and dirty way to add more height to your cable tower, this will do it. As a 6 ft individual, for pulldowns the range is not enough and you end up pulling on an angle. By attaching one of these feet to the top upright as well as another pulley wheel on the top most hole ( a little tricky to secure but works) , you can add another pulley wheel above your head and pull down with full stretch. Set it at the edge or mid way if the top pulley wheel gets in the way of you doing something like dips. Would be smart if Bells added this top bar to the pulley as well as a pulley wheel that could be attached with a pin so that it were removable . It's a solid setup.. I take no credit for this, saw people doing this on Reddit.
