Its hit or miss, their racks are great now. I had an old rack of theirs and the welds were filled with pores. Now, they’re solid.

Their barbells for the most part are garbage, the SSB is good, and the cable machines are on point. Just my two cents.

I could justify it when it was $180. I could justify it when it was $220. Now it's $290, always on backorder and still supposed to be a budget piece.

I dig it man, go watch Coop with Garage Gym Reviews give it a review and he explains his rationale.

Ultimately, it’s 100% your gym. I’d wait for the SSYoke if I didn’t get the Titan SSB.

They’re expensive, but Elite FTS is built to last with YEARS of heavy abuse.

I Started a 5x5 routine. It’s the first time I’ve tried doing anything strength based.

1RM’s first week were: 150kg squat, 230kg dead, 120kg bench

I’m 3 weeks in and noticing decent strength gains. I’ll be interested to see what my new Max’s will be!

230kg dl is pretty solid.

Thanks! It’s definitely my favourite lift by far

After a few weeks of 5x5 in currently doing

Squat 135x5
Bench 102.5x5
Dead 190x5

I’ll test new 1RM in 2 or so weeks

Where are you from? most guys here i see use lbs. I do 5x5 105kgs bench, but i am no way near 230 in dl. The most i've deadlifted (sumo style) is 160. You train mainly for strength? or hypertrophy?
