:) just jokes

@@BasementBrandon Hilarious though lol

“Sub-Basement Brandon”

I like your thinking.

Just poking the bear. Have to take shots at the top dog!

Damn big ol order! Hope you dig it.

The seat wobble is there, but in use isn't that noticeable IMO. Stretch is fine using standard handles but if you start daisy chaining the PRIME ones, I could see an issue.

For sure!

I appreciate that but a lot of the people who watch these videos have nicer set ups, they just don't youtube it!

Thanks as always my friend

Solid piece!

Haha appreciate ya my man!

I was dreading it thinking I was going to mess the cable run up, so glad I didn't have to do that!

Thanks George!

Will do!

Hope it answered some questions outside of how it is to use lol.

Thanks for taking a look early!

Sounds like a good get!

Thanks dude!

I appreciate that!

Nice spot to hang out!

Still there, but I think it also depends how much you brace yourself. I think you can probably shim it to clean up the slop but will mess around with it and try to cover in the eventual review.

My use is prob a bit different, but I predominately use it for most back movements (vertical and horizontal), tricep work, face pulls, and sometimes some bicep work.

Time will tell... :)

Thanks for taking a look!

Dude I went over by like a minute, they should pay me double!

oh yeah no way that will work out well in the end!

Gonna give it a few before I start hacking away

Thanks Josh, appreciate that!

It is!

Hah this thing won't be moving!

Good point! I actually did face pulls last week for the first time in a long time!

Haha he has like 4 of these!

At least Brandon looks like he uses the equipment he has in his gym.

Lol. Luckily I'm not a hoarder and sell a ton of stuff.

Thanks for taking the time to watch, was way longer than I was hoping for lol.

True that!

I haven't worked the transformer in too much yet. I'll probably do that after this training cycle ends though!

@@BasementBrandon I got my training partner one too and we call it the "Humbler" at first you need to drop your weights by 15% but it sure builds your lats and setting PRs in a few months.

Ah didn’t want to decapitate my wife lol

I think they quoted me like 8-10 weeks and it took the full 10 weeks.

truth.

Thanks Scott!

I feel that!

Thanks!

Mine appear to be 5/8 inch but I think they may have updated the design.

Thanks tim!

Will get to it soon. GarageGymLab just released his.

Will def do for the review

Glad to hear! Hopefully it will adjust accordingly if you've been rating everything as too easy.

Good to know, but also bad. Should have been doin this from the start :)

@@BasementBrandon yep but you know how companies gotta test it out first and let the consumers make the recommendations. Felt the same with Rogue and their laser etched number on the uprights .

Right on!

Full stack on the adjustable column for rowing movements and no issues!

I do and I love it. I would buy this again 10/10. If you have the budget, it's fantastic.

Titan still gonna Titan

this!

@@BasementBrandon Can you do an updated video on Titan Fitness? Does everyone deserve a second chance?

@@andre500o There QC has improved, but they still have shady business practices including stealing a design I put out there without acknowledgement. I'd rather just not deal with them.

The newer one has more holes in it, but Prime also sells those things.

Maybe we can get a place together

It can be. I'm just under 6'4" and can use a full ROM on most standard attachments. I think where the issue is going to be is if you want to use any of primes handles as they tend to hang down lower.

Some trade offs I think. The Rogue is 108" so take that into consideration. The stack is only 300lbs vs 350lbs (a weight pin would fix this). The Prime has an adjustable cable column where the Rogue does not. The Rogue also ships fully assembled and you'll have to provide your own forklift to take delivery.

That's the issue. Horrible reputation and well deserved makes it hard to get people to buy their stuff. Especially when the competitors make nicer gear at similar prices. Rule of thumb on titan. If it's something simple they're OK. If engineering is needed look elsewhere.

Their lat pull down is prob their best piece but it keeps going up in price. They still have a lot of issues and shady business practices which make it a no for me.

Their quality is still in the toilet as evidenced by many posts.... I'll never own Titan anything, I'll save and buy quality every single time

I agree with a lot being said here. I truly do. I definitely agree with shady business practices and bad reputation. In December of 2020, I bought a short Titan squat stand. I was really impressed with the powder coating and quality. It cost me $250 and it’s now at $320. If I bought the same stand even in December of 2019, I’m 99% sure the quality would of been shit. And I’m sure the packaging too lol. I also bought their EZ rackable curl bar at the same time for $100. It’s now going for $120. Beautiful curl bar. I wasn’t going to go with rogue because I couldn’t justify the money for a piece of equipment I use like 2-4x a month. The knurling on it is great. IMO the best curl bar at that price point. About 8 months ago, I purchased the X-3 sandwich J-hooks. The quality of the J-hooks are OK but you can tell they are knock offs. They get the job done so I can’t complain. They recently (like this month) came out with T-3 sandwich J-hooks which I decided to purchase. The quality of the j-hooks are almost on par with rogue’s. I still can’t get over how good they are. It’s kind of ridiculous. I’m talking about a matter of less than a year and the quality has drastically changed. I would of gone with rogue but rogue doesn’t make 2x3” sandwich j-hooks. Their infinity line up doesn’t even have plastic lining through the j-hook. That was a tough call for me because I’m such a rogue fanboy that I want to support them as much as possible. And I’m pretty sure I’m done buying from Titan (although I’m eyeing their strongman wheelbarrow) but it does blow my mind how far they have come. I did see someone’s X-3 recently (in a FB video) and it looked really well built. I’m not saying to buy Titan. All I’m saying is the quality has increased dramatically.

I don't believe so.

Most def!

@@BasementBrandon awesome. I will keep an eye on that for sure

I do have a video on if you should buy one or not! Will review this one soon.

Check out my review of the Texas Strength System lat pull low row. It’s plate loaded if that’s what your looking for.

Thanks man!

I believe right at 8 weeks when they quoted me 6-8.

Ah I feel for ya!

I sold my abram and it was great for me weighing anywhere from 210-240

I believe this one just came on a truck with a lift gate and the used a regular pallet jack.

@@BasementBrandon sweet, the shipping side of things is what makes me so nervous going into the home gym build lol. Seems like it all works out, no pun intended.

@@jamesteufel8341 Shipping on this was top notch (packaging). It comes from PA and got here (RI) super quick.

Ok!

at least I'm not alone!

It won't, It has a different width (47 vs 49) and height (92 vs 90). Could prob figure out a way to mod it, but seems like too much work.

@@BasementBrandon Thank you!

This thing is awesome. I need to do a review soon. The rack is basically two of these together. For me (and powerlifting) a basic rack makes more sense, but if you're into more bodybuilding style training the prime would prob work better.

@@BasementBrandon thank you …

Prob not if you have a functional trainer already. this is just a lat pull down with basically half a functional trainer on it.

@@BasementBrandon thanks for the reply. It only seems worth it for the low row option since it’s difficult to pull both of the stacks and keep a stable foot position when going heavy. I still will consider it based on your review, so I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Mine has been outstanding!

@@BasementBrandon Thanks Brandon!

It's just b/c I need the tax write offs :)

I can, but depends on the attachment. Most of Primes are out since they have multiple pieces to attach and hang down quite a bit.

Pretty sure he uses Mag grips

@@steveunholzer2056 Looks like it but don’t see the yellow logo

@@pv4240a could be knockoffs too...tho that doesn't sound like BB

Yep, these are the Mag grip knock offs from Hulkfit (which you can order from Walmart). You get 5 of them for like $130.

@@BasementBrandon Would recommend them?

There are cheaper options, but most don't include both a dedicated lat pull and an adjustable cable column as a single stack in this small footprint.

Overall footprint is 62L x 63W x 92H in.

I didn't. I was going for more of a lat pull/low row and didn't care about other movements typically associated with a functional trainer!

most def!

It depends on the attachment. I'm a similar height.

primary tools are Back widow and traditional lat bar.

Def would but didn’t want to decapitate my wife 😂

@@BasementBrandon I guess I see your concern haha. I definitely put safety at the highest priority. Glad you guys got it done though!

🥵🥵🥵

I don't own any of those currently but if I do, I'll review em!

That thing has a 4:1 ratio and a small stack, pass!

@@BasementBrandon free motion is the dream functional trainer ...cheapest I’ve ever seen it is 4K from a local gym chain that closed down last year. You gotta gave that online coop money to afford one...

I don't buy myself anything else lol

He's a good friend!

Will do!

@@BasementBrandon if you can compare it to the Rogue Monster Mass Storage that would be superb! Excellent videos. Keep up the great work

@@stephangeorge5812 I can based off what I've seen, I don't own it so won't be 100% factual lol.

Good call! I just had nightmares of decapitating myself or losing some fingers lol.

Lol! Car jack maybe!

Me too lol

I'll do that soon, was waiting on this one to come in.

@@BasementBrandon thanks I know you've done plenty of them in the past but I've noticed you got quite a bit of equipment in this year.

Think it depends which ones you're looking at.

@@BasementBrandon How about the lat pull down seat you showed with the single stack?

@@jdavanti I'll have to check

@@BasementBrandon That would be great. Thanks.

It will be going!

@@BasementBrandon lol 😂

Prob for a little bit.

It was $568 for me. They ship out of PA so would imagine it's cheaper to get it to NJ (I'm in RI)

@@BasementBrandon Is Prime friggin crazy. I got a quote today , same package as yours and the freight they said is $660 to New Jersey. I’m closer to them than you are and they want more for shipping! I guess if someone is in the middle of the country or west coast than they better be prepared to pay over $1000 for shipping. They make the freight charges a deal breaker even though they make a good product.

That plus a rack-mounted lat pull / low row seems like the best move for most.

Right on!!

Yeah I really just wanted a dedicated lat pull/low row that was selectorized and could be customized some.

@@BasementBrandon Looks like you picked the best one too. I think if I was in the market this would be the one I would get also. I know it costs a bit more but I couldn't see myself buying a Rogue/Sorinex single functional column that didn't have the 1:1 lat pull included like this does, or buying their dedicated lat pulldowns when the Titan is half the cost. This was pretty much the only premium direction to go IMO. Sick piece in all white too.

Takes up very little if you can actually get a corner for it! Are you looking for dimensions?

@@BasementBrandon No. I ended up ordering a Rep Fitness Ares, so I won't need it. No space for a separate functional trainer.

For the mods? I got them off McMasterCarr

I always think I have bigger hands but whenever I shake my dad's hands I feel insecure lol.

Will do. It does feel quality at first use, although the seat is a bit different as it's also meant to be removed.

Yeah def not recommended for most!

He’s like my little brother. VERY LITTLE.

lol got him
