Decent enough budget weight tree. I don't have enough horns on my rack to hold all of my weight plates, so I use this for my 25lb bumper plates and 2.5lb iron plates, and it does what it needs to do. Took about 5 minutes to assemble and doesn't take up a ton of space. The weight horn layout definitely limits how many larger plates you can fit on it, but I think it works best as a secondary storage option rather than a primary option. Overall, it's a decent enough piece, but if you have a lot of weights, I'd look for better options than this.

A standard EZ curl bar with no frills or issues. The knurling is decent and it feels great for curls and skullcrushers. My only minor annoyance is that my bar squeaks like crazy when I'm curling, even after oiling it a little with some 3-in-1 oil, but it's still not really a big deal. You can't beat it for the price point, and I can't imagine needing anything "better" than this.

These were a great addition to my gym. My Titan T-2 rack came with a straight bar, but I like to work in neutral grip work on occasion, so these were kind of a no-brainer. They are also great for barbell rows, as they really increase the range of motion for the movement. I was initially worried about them being made of plastic, but they are solidly built and the paddle shaped handles feel great.

I honestly feel like the 10" Extension kit is a must-purchase if you're considering buying a Titan T-2 rack. The added plate storage is nice for a compact gym, and the added stability the extension kit gives is an absolute must if you're moving heavier weights.

I use these collars for my Titan EZ Bar and they do an admirable job. They aren't as solid as my Rogue HG collars, but they're also a fraction of the price. However, these seem to be pretty well built, they're magnetic for easy storage, and they function without any issue. If you're looking for a set of magnetic collars on a strict budget, these are a great option.

Really solid collars. Like another reviewer said, you have to put some muscle into closing them, which makes them super stable. They keep my plates perfectly in place without any wiggle whatsoever. The release button makes opening them simple, and because they're magnetic they are easy to store and keep track of. No issues whatsoever.

An inexpensive and effective flooring solution for any home gym. I lift in a basement space on concrete floors and these are perfect for protecting the floors, my plates, and dulling the sound when I’m deadlifting. They are pretty cumbersome to move (they each weight ~100lbs), but they don’t budge once they’re in place because of that. Your gym space is going to stink of rubber for a few days, but the smell fades quickly. Super durable and easy to clean. I know they’re memed pretty often, but they really are an excellent flooring option.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with this bench. I haven't had any issues with the bench showing signs of wobbling or any instability and I've benched up to 265lbs to this point. I can't say how it holds up to heavier loads, but for the amount of weight I'm pushing, it's adequate. I don't love the tapered seat, as I sometimes have to readjust myself when flat benching to get my legs into a comfortable enough position to get my feet flat on the floor (I'm only 5'4", so that may also be playing a role). Incline positions work great, and the bench marks the angle you're positioning the back into, which is really nice. I'm also not a huge fan of the gap between the seat and the back, but I think that's hard to avoid with an adjustable bench, specifically at this price point. I will say that I knocked it for value because I think it's worth spending a little bit more for a higher quality bench (like REP or Rogue). Overall, though, this gets the job done for me and I'm pretty happy with my purchase. Quick disclaimer: I don't do any decline benching, so I can't comment on the bench's decline functionality or comfort.
