Mike Bartos ain’t lying. I’ve PR’d on this platform several times. I move it all over the gym when I feel a PR coming, just to make sure I PR on the PR platform. I can’t imagine PRing anywhere else. Great for working sticking points, speed reps, rack pulls & isometrics. I tend to keep a pair of heavy bands closer to the top to hit traps a little extra, because big traps>abs. The small footprint is a huge bonus to what you can get out of this thing.

There is no worse feeling than buying a glute-ham developer to develop your glute-hams, hop on it, so I can finally have developed glute-hams, and immediate failure. I sat there having a pity party about how I just bought a machine that I’m not strong enough to use. How can I develop my glute-hams enough to be able to use my glute-ham developer? Seriously, it’s a great GHD, assembly was a breeze, it has a cool little blue knob that really ties the room together. I think the slight forward pitch makes it a little harder compared to Rogue’s. It’s also my dog’s favorite piece in our gym. He gets pets at the bottom of every rep, so 5 stars across the board.

It’s a piece of pipe with collars welded on it. It sounds really cool telling people you use an axle to lift with instead of a barbell…until they ask how much it weighs. Has turned into a staple for pressing, rows & deads. It probably gets used every time we are in the gym. You can’t afford not to buy it, unless you own a welder.

This bar and I have a weird relationship. I absolutely love it when I’m not using it. It makes squats and goodmornings suck more, but in a good way. It does what it’s supposed to do, help build your upper back while you squat. If your ego can take the hit of having to go a little lighter, it’s an amazing tool. Wish I would’ve gotten the Elitefts version just to throw Dave Tate some love, but no complaints otherwise.

If you want to feel like a man reverse band box squatting 290lbs with chains, get this bar. I don’t think it’s legal to free squat with this bar. Make sure you load it with 25lb bumpers so it looks like you have a 405+ squat. This is the GOAT for heavy goodmornings, something about the weight being able to swing forward makes that movement so much better feeling. It does feel great on squats, and is in heavy rotation with SSB and Duffalo style bars. Get an extra set of jcups or darko anchors for storage. Getting this bar in and out of the rack is the worst part.

Titan just slapped the shipping label on this bad boy and said, “Good enough.” The delivery driver and I had a good laugh about it. I loaded it up with some plates, yelled something that I hoped sounded Icelandic and off we went. It could be wider/deeper. You can only load it up so much with plates. It does its intended purpose, and is a fun break from other carries. Wouldn’t recommend this being your first implement for carries, get sandbags or farmers handles before letting the Hus loose.

Doubles as a squat stand, takes a beating, and has been left outside…a lot. Y2 is the way to go, Y1 is too short for most to take advantage of using as a squat stand. 100% would buy again if starting from scratch, just add spotter arms and you’re good to go.. Almost can’t afford not to.

One of the best additions to our gym. Went back and forth for a long time before finding one that was affordable. Incredibly overbuilt and versatile. Weighted dips, pull-ups, chest supported row, deficit deads, zercher squats etc. Add some spotter arms or straps to really have fun exploring what exercises are possible in it…we also still skip leg day
