I've been looking at these for a while, but didn't really want to spend this much. Yesterday, I said frick it and ordered this one from Titan. Now I have to go shuffel some things around in the garage to make room.

Just got an email from Titan. This thing is delivering tomorrow.

I enjoy leg extensions and curls. I bought a set of Monkeyfeet and have been using them with dumbbells to extensions and curls, but they are a little tough on the knees.

I've already got a Rep AB3000 bench so I didn't need another bench.

This machine will be alright.

Let us know how you like it. Fray Fitness had theirs on sale on Friday. I added it to my cart but didn’t get it ordered in time to use the promo code. It’s still on sale just not as much now without the promo.

This thing delivered this afternoon and I just put it together. The worst part of installation was downloading the manual on my phone. Old farts like me want a paper manual.

It went together pretty easy and really appreciated that all the bolts and nuts could be tightened with a 5/8 wrench and socket.

I have to take my son to get a haircut, but after I get home I'm going to have a nice leg workout.

Alright, I finally got to use this machine tonight so here's my review after first use.

I bought this last Saturday night around 11PM and was delivered by noon the following Tuesday. That was freaking fast.

It was packaged well, all the parts were there and there was no damaged parts. Also, I had always heard that Titan products left a lot too be desired, but this thing was is stout, well designed, and easy to use.

Took less than an hour to unpack and assemble. Really straightforward. A 5/8 wrench and socket is all you need to assemble. The only knock from me in assembly is you have to scan a QR code and download the manual. It would have been easier to have an actual paper manual, but it was still easy to assemble.

The seat and backrest are solid. The padding seems more than sufficient and it's comfortable when using. It is a bit of a tight fit getting in and out and that's going to be a bit of a pain.

Using it is straigtforward. There is a pin that the plate arm rests on. If it's in front then you do extensions. If you pull the pin and move the arm behind it then you do curls. The seat adjusts up and down, the backrest in and out, and the pad arm has a 36 point adjustment so you can go as "deep" as you want to. Some of the reviews knock the ROM, but with 36 points it's not hard to adjust the ROM and there are "hacks" online to help with ROM. The complaints are all at the start of each lift being too easy.

There is a plate holder on the back to provide additional weight if you go real heavy and the machine rocks.

I didn't go heavy enough on extensions, but made up for it by going a little too heavy on curls. I'm going to feel this in a day or two.

So, after one use, I like this thing. I'll update this around Christmas.
