Thanks my dude!! On to the next one!

Thanks my friend!

Hope you like it!

Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks Marc!

they really nailed that logo integration

appreciated

Awesome! I worked with Will!

Thanks my friend!

Appreciate the firsthand feedback, the description says "black grip pad" so I assumed it was the same!

@@BasementBrandon I have the lower end version from elitefts and it is infact the grippy pad, you can select which color pad you want or if you want the grippy black version

Def helps on cost to not get the bougie version. I like it a lot, but just know it's a big piece!

Great to hear!

What is total weight capacity?

@@tyleranderson3141 As many plates as you can fit.

Would make for a good recovery present from the accident!

Agree for this kind of piece bigger is probably better, but for home gyms space is at a premium.

Just sizing down like my knee sleeves.

I'm just trying to get through the backlog of reviews I have to do so I can get back to putting out strength related content lol.

Right on!

I prob wouldn't be able to either if I didn't make some money off KZfaq, I just reinvest into the gym.

I love it!

Haha not this time :)

lol

The feet and leg braces are the widest part. 24”

It's the Vulcan Ox Bar

True that

Flat yes, incline no, will have to test that out.

Hey John, I have seen people do standing curls but I haven't given it a go as is.

Agreed, can get something as effective (and maybe more versatile) for much less!

I'm sure there is!

Thanks for the response!

Rolled rubber is nice b/c you don't have as many seams to deal with and typically has less odor. The downside is that it's usually more expensive per sq ft, isn't as thick, and can be difficult to move.

@@BasementBrandon Appreciate it!

@@sethschuhmacher4399 yeah you may want to find out the total weight before you buy. Could easily be several hundreds of pounds. If the 4x6 mats range from 90-100 pounds, just imagine a 20x20 roll lol Edit-will be several hundreds, not could be :)

@@meisdetermined That's a great point to consider! If I go with 8mm rolled rubber, I'd probably need 4' x 28' rolls. Based on what I've read, 8mm rolled rubber is 2.2lbs per square foot. That comes out to about 250lbs per roll for my situation. Not horrible but I probably should have a dolly on deck for getting them into the basement!

I have a video on it, got it off amazon, called DreamSky 14.5" Large Digital Wall Clock

Prob would compare the deluxe line (no branding). It still ends up being just under 2x as much, but more adjustability, high quality materials and steel, band pegs, and built for someone who weighs more than 150lbs :)

I have the Valor CC-4 right now. For $400, I couldn’t pass it up. I’ll eventually upgrade, but it definitely gets the job done.

@@TheVsa17 that’s good to hear. Right now I’m im using a lower pulley which sucks and want to do some drop sets. I heard they might be doing something for Black Friday so I’m waiting until then.

Appreciate the response!

This thing feels/works great for me. But then again it's something I use at the end of my training so I don't have super high expectations

I've heard some people like the Titan version but no first hand experience. You can also look at the normal models of this, which would prob be more in that just under 1k price range.

Not that I've seen, but EliteFTS may discount their version.

More of a comedy/horror, but Army of Darkness

@@BasementBrandon cool I love the evil dead movies. For mt favorite horror movie is halloween the original. Scariest movie to me as a kid.

Do it!

Yead def a space eater. Good thing is if I get in trouble with the wife it can double as a bed.

Yes, will save you a few hundred. No real downside other than you won't have a logo.

I'm just a lil guy. Need to start bulking up lol

Thanks!

No they were not. This was one of the reasons I didn't get their lat pull down.

Thanks for taking a look!

It's from Husky. More of an offwhite with a wood top.

I like it. just hard to recommend to most based off price and footprint.

@@BasementBrandon money and blueprint aside, you only can have one leg curl leg extension what are you going with?

@@dd61882 For my use case it would prob be sorinex, as it's selectorized, customizable, and small footprint.

Haha fully aware these things are likely not on the top of people's lists, but still think it offers some good insight!

I literally just searched amazon for 1" rubber adhesive. This is the one I bought: SoftTouch Self-Stick Non-Slip Surface Grip Pads - (6 pieces), 1" x 4" Strip - Black - 4739495N

I was looking at their Reflex one (it's the same as sorinex without the customization), but hasn't been in stock forever.

@@BasementBrandon great video, I been following and a fan since someone lost your 700 lb weights 😂. Keep the videos coming

@@tcyaddboy appreciate it!

GHD for me, prob one of my favorite pieces.

Lots of ways to go about it!

Never say never

No issues!

It's just a clock I got off amazon, surprisingly I have a video on it lol. I have a rack mounted timer showing up today I believe.

It does not.

No lie lol. I've also heard conflicting things on it.

I had one of those too (Weider). This is a commercial piece, meaning it's meant to be used and abused and will outlive me. The cheap versions are cheap for a reason.

I find I use my GHD more, but it depends on you.7

Thanks I ordered the basic version from elite fts

Upgraded the tires on my truck, these are the original ones.

Yeah if you don't get the custom logo work or upgraded pads it also cuts the price almost in half.

Mine is 72" long and around 55" high. It's a big piece.

@@BasementBrandon hey thanks! I think I’m gonna pull the trigger tomorrow. What kind of bands are you using on it? Resistance and brand?

@@davejones1660 The minimum, it's a #0 from rogue, but basically 15lbs of resistance.

@@BasementBrandon finally pulled the trigger on the elitefts regular version during their Easter sale. Do you use a band on each side or just on one side?

@@davejones1660 I've just been using 1 at this point.

Yep! this was around $200-$300 shipped which is relatively cheap for some of this custom stuff.

Really not bad IMO

Nope, full assembled!

I'm not sure off hand TBH

shoot me and email so I remember and I can get that for you.

I thought powertec had something that would do that?

Maybe IronMaster? Their bench can turn into anything lol.

Oh yeah Ironmaster does too! They just raised prices on their benches like $50 BUT there wasn’t any charge for taxes and shipping is free so what you see is what you pay. So that is another factor to consider. And yes it is a very stable bench. Buy the newer one because its about 3 inches shorter so it’s closer to competition height.

Xmark makes one too. I had one of their adjustable benches and loved it.

If you unload it and get some furniture sliders it is.

Thanks!

Way too much

Prob more in line with the deluxe version (without custom branding). It's still almost 2x the cost, but more adjustability, higher quality steel/materials, and band pegs. The Titan will prob do the job if you're on a budget, I just choose to no longer support that company.

@@BasementBrandon any particular reason why ?

@@bampo525 I'm not a huge fan of their business practices in general, like stealing designs (including one of my own). They also tend to not do their research when it comes to equipment they design themselves and the V1 of most of their products have severe flaws. I still recommend them in some cases to people (like their lat pull down or SSB), but it's usually those products that they just copied from another manufacturer and import for cheaper.

They make less expensive versions that aren't customized, but Williams Strength is more of a commercial provider vs home gym.

Haha I feel ya!

Hello Clarice.

That's a tempting offer.

I show clips of both

yep

Lol

You have a point but you’re also ignoring the quality. You can get a $200 power rack that holds your bar and does the job, doesn’t mean a giant 3x3 rack with all the bells and whistles should cost the same because the function is the same.. I mean the 5k one is a cable machine using the same 3x3 steel tubing with 4 way hole spacing that Sorinex uses for everything else. It does seated leg extension as well as seated leg curl with a selectiorized weight stack of 300lb. You can’t even get a 300lb weight stack with cables and guide rods for under 1500.. you’re right that 5k is high for accessory leg work, but it’s not really high for a commercial piece of that quality.. shipped freight already assembled and welded at the base. Brandon’s model also seems like a solid piece for the price as well. Premium padding, all that steel, custom cut logos, to get something like that for under 2k when commercial quality adjustable benches cost around $1,500 is actually pretty solid. More than what 95% of people would pay for a home gym, but looks to be worth the cost as well as not overpriced for the quality.

These ones are more meant for facilities/gyms with multiple people beating the hell out of it, so they're overbuilt. If you're just training at home there are a lot of $300-$500 options that would prob do the job!

I wanted a customized one like this, so the price wasn't too relevant.

Believe it or not I was also considering a preacher bench at one point in time lol

@@BasementBrandon cool. I might consider that or make my custom made one.

@@BasementBrandon preacher Pad could use more reviews

my dude

my man

color matched to everything else :)

I wouldn't say overpriced, but def agree they can be expensive on items.

I wanted a custom made in USA piece.

Then don’t. Pretty simple.

Context is needed IMO

@BasementBrandon Understandable, but I just wish you had more video of actually using the equipment. No hate meant. Peace.
