Rogue Mil Pull Up Station

Strong, durable, reliable and built to the highest possible quality standards, this is our number one choice.

The Rogue MIL Pull-Up Station is built to the required specs of the Army Combat Fitness Test’s “Leg Tuck” event, with an extended width of 62” between the two uprights to create ample operating space for any size athlete.

In the Leg Tuck, the athlete uses an alternating grip, and their body is perpendicular to the pull-up bar.

Because this unit also includes the same 2×3” 11-gauge steel tubing and standard single pull-up bar (1.25” diameter) as the Rogue R-Series squat racks, it can serve as a dedicated pull-up station for any traditional gym set-up as well.

The MIL Pull-Up Station has a total footprint of 48” x 67” and an upright height of 93”, with the pull-up bar position adjustable from 90” down to 86”.

All required 5/8” hardware is included, as is an attachable step (connected via detent pin) that can be set at either 18” or 24” from the ground—matching the step heights on the Army’s Climbing Pods. This step also contains a large rubber insert that covers all metal edges for added safety.

The entire stand is finished in a texture black powdercoat, except for the removable step, which has an MG Rogue Red finish for stand-out visibility. The rear crossmember tube features laser-cut Rogue branding.

Please Note: The MIL Pull-up Station is not designed to be used as a squat rack. J-Cups are not included and the unit does not feature J-Cup mounting holes.

Equipped for the ACFT

While the MIL Pull-Up Station can be used as a standard, dedicated pull-up stand for any gym, it’s also uniquely optimized for performing the Leg Tuck movement; Event 5 of the Army Combat Fitness Test.

The extended length of the pull-up bar, at 62”, is roughly a foot longer than the bar on our standard Infinity Racks.

This creates more space for performing the Leg Tuck movement, in which athletes utilize an alternating grip and position their bodies sideways / perpendicular with the bar.
