To Titan or To not Titan
Titan Health gear is priced appealingly low however could be a little bit of a chance on high quality relying on what it’s, as we’ve found when reviewing their racks, rack attachments, bars, and machines.
Gluck’s Health club did an excellent video on the scenario.
What I’ve discovered is the easier the product and the much less choosy you’re about sleekness and end high quality, the extra possible a Titan product goes to be an excellent worth for the cash. Their normal ruggedness is sweet, and means higher than really low cost gear like some Amazon model. Over time they’ve made enhancements to create extra modern, constant gear, fixing varied design flaws.
Titan’s racks and rack attachments stay fashionable and are higher than ever. Be cognizant of doable incompatibilities with Rogue and different racks.
Right now I might keep away from new Titan merchandise for no less than the primary 6 months after launch and search for critiques on a weight machine or any product that appears modern or totally different sufficient from different manufacturers. After that point they possible have burned by way of the preliminary inventory and have a revision to handle design complaints. Typically the product is expressly “v2”, however normally it’s small incremental enhancements with out expressly being a brand new model.

Though I’ve not but contacted them to make certain, I’m fairly positive XII:XI Health is pronounced 12 11 Health. However it appears to be like like “Chi Chi” Health, so I’m simply going to name them that as a result of it hilariously sounds Chinese language regardless of it being an American firm with all American-made merchandise. Their web site seems to have solely began in 2022, however their website signifies they’ve been on this enterprise since 2019, and from the standard they clearly had been doing metalwork earlier than that.
Voted Favourite Excessive-Finish Entice Bar
Breaking away from the saving cash theme of this submit. Warning: Cease studying if you happen to don’t need to go broke.
r/homegym performed a ballot for the group’s favourite entice bar final month. After 281 votes, the Eleiko Oppen Deadlift Bar beat out 5 rivals together with Rogue and Kabuki.
The reason being apparent while you take a look at its design. It rocks up onto its rounded rubber toes with simply the correct amount of pressure right into a place the place you may load plates. The dearth of this type of function has lengthy been a shortcoming of conventional entice bars.
This isn’t a price range selection. It’s $775. That may make it the costliest one you may even discover. That’s what you pay for the perfect!
