Need to work through all this equipment so that I can get other stuff in lol.

Agreed

Thanks big Phil! Hoping you and the fam are doing well. Gonna have me buying a hack squat if I keep seeing it on your channel.

All good points. I think for a single user you can get away without using the levers as when adjusting from squat to bench you have to move the bar anyways so you could unload it and just manually adjust the uprights.

Interesting thought, what kind of attachments primarily are you thinking?

@@BasementBrandon monos, pretty much exclusively.

Agreed, some of the others in this price point are fixed.

You could buy this or an Eleiko IPF bare steel bar 🤡

Squatting outside of my rack always freaks me out. Even on weights I know I can do for reps and sets still worries me. Even with my safety arms to catch me. Probably explains why my comp squat was always significantly less than my gym lifts.

@@bmstylee yeah i have no idea how people squat outside of a power rack or without safeties

Kind of funny how something so simple ends up being more than a full blown cage.

@@BasementBrandon lol seriously I paid $250 for my T2

Welcome!

Mostly just b/c I didn't see a reason to. Doesn't add any functionality really. Finishing it could be done, but would also limit the overall size and overhead space some.

Agreed. I think this is the route I'm going to go and eventually get rid of my sorinex comp bench.

Hansu one ship to the US?

@weic4567 It did about a month ago, not sure why it's only shipping CAN now 🤔

The one I did a review on?

@@BasementBrandon there’s an old version on clearance sale in the website atm

​@@weic4567 😅I was going to say my Hansu didn't have that issue that was noticeable. I will say a lot of combos do sway a lot since they're built to be easilty transported around and thus are a bit lighter construction.

It's still a hard pill to swallow though. Not sure why combos are so pricey.

I agree the Hansu is nicer but it also has a MSRP of $3400.

@@BasementBrandon ah makes sense.

I don't wear a lot of compression pants, but these are solid. They're thicker than most others so protects the package a lil better.

Would be interesting to see!

100%, while $1300 is a good deal for a combo, you could get a more versatile (and safer) rack for half that.

😭

The Hansu one lives down the street at a local gym now. This one will likely be joining it soon. I can't keep everything.

What bar are you using? I have the 20 kg IPF spec and no issues bumping plates. I'm using comp KGs for plates. Generally the folks who have issues with my Ohio Power Bar don't necessarily have the tightest unrack or walkout.

Do you have athe 20kg version as mentioned? Using thin comp collars and the Rogue rack at 49" is def tough. Going with bigger collars or a longer bar can also bring in additional problems. An easy fix would be just throw a pair of change plates (5s or 10s) on the bar first. This will buy you some extra space and not require you to buy a new bar.

@@BasementBrandon Yeh, 20kg stainless. It’s disgraceful really, it’s a power bar. 2 of the 3 things it’s primarily designed to do, and it fails miserably within the manufacturers very own rack! I challenge anyone to do a hard set of bench, OHP or squats in a monster lite, with my version of the Ohio PB and not clatter the plates into the uprights, causing a total shit show during the lift or racking/unracking. I’m lucky enough to have an Eleiko comp, Texas PB and a Texas Squat bar, so I don’t use the Rogue Ohio Pb in the rack. But I’d like to, as I prefer 29mm for benching and like to keep the bare steel Eleiko insulated throughout winter. I was fitting collars on first, then loading the plates, but as I say, that’s ridiculous. Shame, as it’s a great bar otherwise.

@@bmstylee Yeh, it’s in combination with the rogue rack at 49 inches. Are you using that in conjunction?

@@danredmond5589 If you want to hear something ridiculous... I'm going to be replacing my Rogue rack with one from Irwin that's 2" less wide so I can use my comp bars without having to put plates on the inside lol.

Thanks for taking a look

my man

I'm not sure they're pursuing powerlifting any more. Don't see power bars on their site and their combo is on sale.

Glad i'm not just being sensitive lol.

My combos bring all the boys to the yard.

Things can add up quick, but at the end of the day you can make a lot of progress without spending much money.

I'd sponsor you so hard.

@@BasementBrandon yayyyy

Sadly, but it does make you wonder how much some of the other equipment actually costs if they're baking shipping into the already low price.

Guessing not USA or Europe based on the price.

Imported, likely from China.

I agree. However a lot of people want to add in this as a secondary piece.

@@BasementBrandon I see the appeal. I would love to get a combo rack, but they are so expensive, even the cheaper ones compared to a power rack, or say a rogue sml 1 monster lite squat/bench rack.
