This is great if you want a subjective measure of how fast weights are moving for you during a workout. Once you have enough total sets (I think 3 or so different sets and different weights for each lift), it should give you an estimated 1 rep max. That's great as a starting point (especially if you have a good idea of what your true 1 rep max is), but I think it falls a little short in the long run. I say that because the estimated 1 rep max appears to only be an average to date, or over set periods like a month, 3 months, or a year, that the app offers. So, for example, it wouldn't give you an estimated 1 rep max for that exact training day. That may be a bit much to ask, but that's what I was really hoping for, so I could back into my approx RPE 8 weight that makes sense for that day (or better yet, have the app tell me the recommended weight based on the desired RPE and how the weight is moving in my warm-up sets). You can still use the app and the velocity measurements to help you manage the stress based on how the weight is moving, but it requires you to do more manual calcs or logging. And even that works best if you often do the exact same warm-up wights for each lift. So if the app shows my career best velocity is 0.6 meters per second on my last warmup set at 225, and I'm moving it at 0.5 meters per second today, I should probably take some weight off the bar from my planned sets that day. I think why that falls short is it lists your career best in the app. I go through periods where I'm near that range, but life happens, you detrain, and you're nowhere near your max. So you end up having to take a lot of notes on your average speeds "lately" at certain weights, or go digging through the app, and it takes too much time for me. That's a very long-winded way of saying I think the app could use some work. The unit itself is great though, and it's a fun way to compete with friends in sandbox mode.

Despite almost breaking my face on chest supported rows when I forgot to put the side pin in, this has been a great attachment for me. Crazy enough, it held my weight plus 180 pounds total of dumbbell for a full set, plus for reps of set 2 before I landed on my orbital bone (not too bad, nothing a little surgical glue couldn't fix), and all that without the side pin in. So it's definitely very sturdy, just don't be an absent-minded idiot like me. This thing is built like a tank too. Great finishes, good knurling for its purpose, etc. Functionally, I have no issues either. It supports a lot of different exercises, and other than not allowing a center mounted cable to pass through the middle, it has pretty much everything I could have asked for. That said, I still think this attachment is $100 or so overpriced. Maybe not so much now that tariffs have had such a big impact on overseas manufacturing, but it was this price before all the tariff madness. You have the post-Covid excuse too perhaps, but still seems like this one missed the mark on the price-point.

I used to own this bar, but I sold it for a couple of reasons. I didn’t use it as much as I thought I would, and also, it was actually worse for my shoulders than a straight bar. That said, the performance of the bar itself was great, and the value is pretty good. I docked this on value mostly due to the poor knurling. It’s very passive for sure. That’s also part of the reason for the build quality not being perfect. I also wish they would have went with a curved camber so you could benefit from the greater range of motion for more than just one set of handles. Lastly, if you can, make sure you try out a camber bar for a few sessions before buying. I assumed it would be easier on the front of my shoulders, which often get irritated when I bench heavy twice on a week. Even after some time off to give my body a break, the neutral handles of the camber bar irritated the front of my shoulders worse, we all angles of the bar. That seems like that’s not the norm, but don’t be like me and assume this type of bar will help you bench more often, or with less pain or discomfort.

I got this over the mutant metals version mostly because it was available used for a great discount off the new price. I didn’t think the different angles up or down would matter much, but I was glad I ended up with this version as the angled up option is a little easier on my shoulders. If you have a similar issue, maybe the Velocidor is better for you than the Mutant Metals UDA. I do still use the traditional flat angle, and occasionally did the narrowest setting, but my go to is the up angle for sure. If you don’t have shoulder issues, this may also be the best option since you can emphasize different muscles a little easier by changing the vertical angle. I can’t do too many dips with the angle down, but they so feel different. You do of course lose dual functionality of the handles, but at most long handles like that, at least for me, would only be useful for a lat pull down bar if you get the arc attachment, and is one hell of a heavy lat bar.

I’ve noticed only two downsides to this jack. The rubber protectors should probably me uhmw instead, and if you lift heavy (450 lb plus), then it doesn’t lift the bar quite enough especially if you use iron plates and a deadlift bar. The biggest plus for me is that it mounts on a wall super easy. Other full jack options would stick way out due to the handle coming out at an angle. This one doesn’t have an angle so it sits almost flush with the wall. I just got a two prong long wall mount hook from Lowes and it holds it perfectly.

I got these used for $100 I believe, so if you can get them used, the value is much better. I still rated the value as low, however, because buying new for most Titan items these days seems risky to say the least. Their prices are much to close to Rep to warrant risking getting a lemon from Titan. If you do get a deal on them though, it’s a different equation. I agree that they are very loud, but they work just fine as long as you have horse stall mats or something similar under them. I am not a heavy deadlifter by any means though (probably 425 or so is the most I’ve lifted on mine), so that may be a factor for you. I did see a video a while back of Brian Shaw’s wagon wheels of a similar all metal design and they were so bent up they looked like octagons). If you have the money, I think the bumper style like Rogue has are much better, but then again, I don’t think I could justify spending that much for something I might use once a month.
