I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the kzbin.infoUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B

Your presentation is second to no one. No one explains things as good as you. All of these strength equipment manufacturers should be paying close attention to what you are saying about all of this equipment. Your gym should be called the "Coop consumer strength equipment research institute." You are really like the consumer reports of strength equipment. You approach this with the intensity of a mad scientist except that there is a logical method to your madness. Dude, I absolutely love your channel. It's both entertaining and extremely educational.

The Marrs Bar is a totally underrated bar! Not only does it put you in the most perfect position for a squat every time, but you can literally do it hands-free and with any other variation of squat as well (such as front squat, lunges, etc). Yes its a little pricey, but its a small price to pay to have the best multi-squat tool for a lifetime.

I think having the Marrs Bar pad shape with the camber of the Titan/EliteFTS would probably be the perfect bar that Rogue can create. The Marrs Bar pad because of how the handles and shafts contour to/around your upper body (looks more comfortable than the straight handles), and the camber of the Titan/EliteFTS because of how it simulates a high bar squat, front squat, or conventional deadlift depending on how you use it.

@@tap4825 The US has a massive advantage over us Aussies due to many factors, but the main factors are them having 15x our population and having a thriving manufacturing sector. This means US customers can either buy American made, or go down the cheaper import line. They're spoiled for choice because they have such a wide reach of customers who will use them. I'm in Melbourne and it took me a while back in April/May to figure out who the best suppliers are in Australia in terms if value, service and quality of equipment Nearly all of our equipment is imported unfortunately, so research and trial and error is needed to determine who sells the best stuff, KZbin reviews are handy, but not a lot out there unless you're buying a well known American/European type of brand. I went the cheapest possible option initially just trying to get a few dumbbells in back in early April, that was a bad choice, warehouse mistakes were made and I never saw those dumbbells, after around 2 months I asked for my money back which I got and bought dumbbells at a slightly higher rate off Gumtree in May/June (didn't pay over $5 a kilo though) Since May I've used about 5-6 different suppliers, Sam's Fitness is the best I've used as long as you're happy to wait for them to restock, however some others are reasonable too If you're a crossfitter for example and don't want to pay overs/wait a long time for Rogue stuff, then Verve on the Gold Coast would do the job, alot of their stuff is Rogue inspired and they do westside 5/8s spacing on their racks, so they'd be compatible with Rogue Monster Lite I'd imagine Flex Fitness in Perth is one of the better budget options for all round home gear although Sam's do a lot of budget options too for things like bars, plates, dumbbells etc. But in particular for budget racks and benches, Flex would be worth a look. My squat rack is from them and it does the job, will look at upgrading to a full cage from Rogue or Sam's in due course though And in Melbourne, commercial fitness in Heidelberg is my best local option, they're mid range price on most things, but their stuff is decent Rogue is available too in Sydney, but they seem to have a chronic shortage of stock. Have not seen a rack or barbells on sale all year from them since I started my iso home gym. I have only seen Echo Bikes, plates, dumbbells, kettlebells, some strongman type equipment like sleds and bands available from them and I'd guess all that was made in China too Anyways, hope this helps

I use the Elite FTS Yoke SSB 3X per week. After a year I need to rack it 4” higher because I now stand taller. Alsruhe or Thrall said wherever your weakness, this bar will find and fix it, and in my case this was true. I got it on sale for less than 350. It arrived in a few days in a broken box with a chip in the finish but I figured it would get worse anyway so I just accepted it. It’s as good after two years as when it arrived. I already had axle collars but I don’t always use them. Any outward drift of free plates gives me feedback that my lift is becoming unsymmetric. I haven’t used any others, but the latest Transformer looks interesting. Consider learning this bar through high frequency highly recoverable work. Going heavy right away might substitute compensation for foundation strengthening. Good review, thanks!

One concern with the Marrs Bar if you use a mono lift. Since the bar sits so low, my crew noticed our heads get VERY close to the cross beam on the mono. We either have to raise the height and shrug OR take it out at a high bar point and then adjust. Always a little bit of a hassle too when re racking. Great bar for low bar squats, good mornings, hatfields, etc. Just a little sketchy with headroom when using a monolift (Elite FTS Mono for those wondering).

@@thomasbrown7328 Most would use the SSB on the 2nd or 3rd squat slot in a week. Since it is ultimately close to whatever squat style you practice (high bar, low bar, front squat) the carry-over is high. Further, since most people don't front-squat (in my experience), the SSB mimics that pretty well. Due to a short torso and long femurs, I am dang near horizontal in the hole when I low bar, and that is my preferred squat placement, so the SSB is great because it forces more of the weight onto my quads, which drives my overall low bar numbers.

The best thing ever invented for people without ROM in their shoulders. I did take all the pads off it so it rests on my back without pushing me forward. I love these bars. There is a little pressure on the shoulders with the arms but it's on the muscle and I'll get used to it.

Now that Titan has raised the price of the bar to 300, which is pretty close to the B.O.S SS3. What do you think about the SS3? It seemed that they address most of the issues in v1 and v2. I'm curious about how it perform now. Could you do a review about the SS3 bar? Also, do you know what the shaft diameter of the Titan? The online spec said the bar diameter is 1.5in. Not sure if it is the same one. The B.O.S one is 32mm (1.25in). Smaller size, I guess. Thanks

Safety squat bar is basically like the trap bar for deadlifts because of how it's safer

I bought the Titan SSB V2 based on your earlier review. It really is an incredible value and has allowed me to train both of my parents on the squat movement, which would have been impossible with a standard barbell. Thanks for your recommendations, I made notes and they have all helped me make the best decisions for my home gym purchase this year.

Hey Coop, thanks for the reviews. Do the long handles on the Transformer bar get in the way of your legs? That's my biggest concern with it - in a full squat, the handles or my elbows would become a distraction and something I have to work around.

I had the same question... They also have as an alternative, a couple of knobs instead of the knurled screw on handles. I'd also like to see that difference reviewed.

The Marrs bar seems perfect for me. I have a problem of leaning way too far forward even in lowbar squats, so having a ssb bar like the titan do that intentionally is a bad idea but since the Marrs bar keeps you more upright that seems perfect

Coop - have you tried the Watson SSB? Would have enjoyed seeing that reviewed with this group but understand that access to Watson equipment is limited in the US . I’ve used the Rogue and Elitefts bar and the Watson SSB is head and shoulders above them both in every aspect.

I’ve used many different brands of SSB. Elite FTS is still my winner. Fit and durability is almost impossible to match. Yes, I’m talking to you Rogue and Titan. And Chinese no name knockoffs. If I buy one, I’ll be getting a Fortis Fitness that’s made for low back squatting.

Can the Tranformer replicate the positioning of the Marrs? I like the way it sits but would likely choose the Kabuki if it can get that low on the back.

I misst the Xenios SSB (wich I own) It has some good olympic sleeves. Different to other Bars the arms for the weights and the Handles are going in the same direction. It is not so expensive and I like it.

I'm a smaller person (4'11.25") and have heard that the Titan is fairly wide, even on larger people. I was wondering if you felt the same way about it, and would recommend it for someone on the smaller spectrum, or if there is a bar that a bit more narrow that might fit me better. Any advice/input is much appreciated!
