Yes, sorry, the glute ham raise.
Welll… I bought a hyper extensions bench from them and modified it with the help of a fabrication guy I know.
I had a floor GHR like pictured below and switched out the pads.

Ironmaster adjustable DBs are the shit. I’ve had mine for at least a decade.
Their adjustable bench is solid. I like that model because I can use a camber bar and do chest supported rows. Not many let you do that. The Pro is a little shorter, which is better for flat benching. Could be a little wider.

Got everything setup, going to move the weight holders on the top to the front bottom but everything else good so far. Just need to throw in some flooring

Whoops.
I hate you a little bit for how easily you seem to have acquired your equipment. Looks great!

I was surprised how not hard it was, I had to spend a fair bit (cheaper options were largely out of stock) and drive over an hour to get one weight set and over 2 to get the bumpers but all in all I was stoked how quick everything came.

Thinking about getting my gf to get me a different bar for the setup, for Christmas. I’m trying to keep the cost somewhat reasonable so I’m not getting a DL bar or anything, just something to help diversify things a bit.
My top 2 are currently a trap bar or a multi-grip bar, looking at Titan for both as I don’t think these need to be top quality.
For Multi-Grip I figure I could get a lot of diversity in a lot of movements (e.g., pull-ups, rows, presses, curls, shrugs)
Trap will give me pressing and rowing movements and obviously a different deadlift pattern, which I think i’ll end up gravitating towards long term. It’s also ~70 dollars off today.
Any other things that I’m missing, that will provide more bang for the buck? Any reason not to buy Titan here? Which would you get?
@T3hPwnisher I’m tagging you again, as I know you’re a big trap bar fan.

Absolutely get the trap bar. One of my favorite purchases. I’m about a hair away from never pulling with a straight bar again at this point.
I own a multigrip bar and prety much never use it.

Really? I’d like to hear more about this. I pull with a straight bar, but don’t compete in anything, so really have no reason to other than I just do it.
Not much more to say really. Pulling with a straight bar sucks.

@T3hPwnisher @garagerocker13 I know you three are fellow Titan rack guys. I have a 71’ T2 and was curious as to if you ever messed around with the mono-lift attachment or the safety straps?
From what I understand the monolift (never used one before) can serve as something of a spotter for benching/squatting? Not sure if it’s hype, or if I’d need to junk my J-Hook Rollers if I went this route, but the idea of having a spotter when going heavy with a 95lb fiancé as my other option, sounds appealing.
On a related note, I’m curious as to if you messed with the safety straps and found them superior to the pins/arms when squatting in the rack.
I’ve never used a mono lift, they seem awesome but I’m not sure how it would serve as a spotter.
I went straight to the safety straps, in an effort to save my bar while doing rack pulls, so I can’t comment on the pins. They seem a bit unstable (I think this is due to the narrow nature of the actual rack, x-3 is probably better here) at times but I’ve never actually had a problem with them.
Here is them saving my neck on a failed bench
Thanks!
Regarding the Monolift, I think the logic is that it’ll save you from doing a walkout with the bar & weight on a squat but rather you’d just go up and down in place. As far as benching, you wouldn’t have to lift the barbell up from the J-hooks and then over your chest to begin, but rather the Monolift would have it set to where it was be like me giving you a “lift-off” while spotting you.
Figure that there would also be some benefits when it comes to re-racking the weight as well.
I l haven’t seen anybody say it yet, but I’m wondering if some purists would say that lifting with a Monolift isn’t truly lifting because of what I mentioned
Hey man, never got the monos, but I went straight for the safety straps. Big fan of them, especially for shrugs. Much gentler on the bar.
