Great bar for a specific purpose. The Tsunami Bar Force is definitely a specialty bar. It's fun to use and great for training power and bar speed, but not something every gym needs. I mix it into my training occasionally for dynamic work, though beyond the cool visual of the bar flex, it’s not an essential bar.

They are chains. Thumbs up for conjugate. You can get them from anywhere, but why not get them from Elite FTS and use the Massenomics affiliate link and code MASS10?

The Tank MX is in fact a tank, much heavier than expected. Its max resistance offers a challenge, but it really shines with light to moderate loads for speed work and longer pushes that deliver a great burn. It’s well built, rolls smoothly on multiple surfaces, and the tires have held up far better than the M1’s. The main drawbacks are that you need plenty of space to get the most out of it. If your push/pull lane is short or cramped, the experience won’t be ideal. It tends to drift slightly left or right during hard pushes. The price is on the higher end, if you’re concerned about noise or surface damage, this sled is an excellent choice.

It’s Rogue and overbuilt. The motion is smooth, and the 300 lb weight stack with optional band pegs for added resistance is very useful. The main downsides are a relatively narrow seat and a low row foot plate that can get in the way when getting on and off the machine. It’s definitely on the pricey side for a stand-alone lat pulldown, but if you value durability and heavy loading options, it’s a good choice.
