It's strong, sticky, comfortable, lightweight, easy to move around, and stands well on it's end. It was also a great value at $180 when I picked it up.

It's fun bar to play with, but not especially useful.

The stainless stump bar is the most used bar in my gym. The knurling has a great sticky feeling, and the short length makes getting around it in my small bedroom gym way easier. The sleeve will just barely fit three deep dish plates with a lock jaw mostly on the bar.

I think I got the last one of these Titan ever made from the scratch and dent sale. It's an extremely specialized piece, but it's a lot of fun and very sturdy.

These are nice high quality plates that were accurately weighted and a good value. The 35 and 45 also have enough of a hub for hub lifting. The only downside I had is to hit final weight they would machine the outer diameter, and a couple of my plates are a noticeably smaller diameter because of that.

This was my first real bench, and I had made the decision to get as much functionality as possible. It ended up being that I didn't want the leg roller or decline function, and was limited by not being able to store the bench upright in my small space. The bench is also a little higher than standard, and when flat you could feel the top of the bench flex a bit under heavy weight.

This cable tower works well enough for being extremely budget oriented. Every session where I do more than one or two movements on the machine I find myself wishing I had gotten a selectorized version, both for speed of change, but also because mounting proximity limits the diameter of plate I can use, so I have to stack a lot of 25s on. The only issue I've had with the machine itself is one of the pulley brackets was welded on slightly crooked from the factory. I've straightened it the best I can, but I permanently have one cable that's smoother than the other.

This tib bar is extremely well made, but unfortunately doesn't work very well as. The gap between the posts is so large that it will only sit properly on my quite large (13 2E) feet if I wear a thick soled running shoe, otherwise you're swimming in the space. The padding is also quite firm so once you put more than 50 pounds on it hurts the top of my foot. I also have the "tib bar guy" equivalent model and it's much more ergonomic, but less robust.
