For the price, it's not worth it. Maybe they upgraded it from when I had it a few years ago, but the one I had was pretty subpar. The stability was lacking, the pop-pins just felt cheap and would stick, and I just didn't want to use it for anything but flat bench. With the price as it is now, the Performance Series is not worth it.

Just get the Rep Open Trap Bar if you're buying new. If used, the Titan one is fine with a fairly easy mechanism to load weights, but the square tubing does prevent it from being used on your back like the Rep one can. Plus, the Rep bar is less expensive today. The different handle diameters are kind of nice to have.

As a log, it works just about as well as any other. Plus, weighing in around 85lbs helps to be used by lots of different strength levels. The rackable capability is limited to racks with at least 42" of inner clearance, so anyone with Rep or Rep-like racks will not be able to rack it. With a Rogue rack, it works, but you have to be careful on the rerack. I have not tried it with Titan racks, but the 42" recommendation is based on it just barely not clearing with 41". Build quality is fine; just make sure to use drop pads and not to fall backwards into a rack while pressing, thus indenting one of the weight horns on it. Still works fine though.

It was perfectly adequate, but unless you're constrained on space, just get a stand alone unit if you're not willing to get a different rack. Granted, mine was attached to a 72" rack, so that made it more annoying to use as I had to sit on the floor.

I had a T-2 rack, but the 6 foot version. Don't get one that short unless you're willing to sacrifice some lateral stability and remove the pull-up bar. It was fine otherwise, but I only had it as a secondary rack for a while since I bought it used and it had the weight storage extension and the lat pull-down/low row.

They make your farmers into a frame. However, they are very tight, so getting them into position and turning your farmers into a frame requires the use of a mallet at times. They are sturdy, and since I got the farmers and these as a package, I have no issues with the value. However, because they can be a pain to put on, I don't use them often.

Great top-load farmers. Do not buy front load farmers because you'll find every excuse to avoid using them. The handles are adjustable, but that's a feature I have never used. I would prefer to just them have welded in place as I find having pins there is just annoying, so I instead have just put 3" bolts there to make it a more permanent solution compared to the hitch pins. However, they're sturdy, and I've been using them for 6 years now without issue.

Works great as plate storage. I like that all the weight horns are spaced far enough away from each other that bumper plates can fit on any of the three levels. I actually have two of these (bought a new one and then found a used one like 2 weeks later), so one is used on my deadlift platform to store lots of iron plates and one is used to store my bumper plates. For the iron plates, the powder coating gets scratched off very quickly, but for bumpers the coating is great. I think this would better with chrome coated weight horns. Also, if your floor is not smooth nor completely rigid (e.g., concrete vs horse stall mats) and you have an appreciable amount of weight on it, the wheels are basically useless.
