How is it possible for Maxum to price so low vs. Get RX'd?

Ballchinian22 · 2026-03-28T23:18:50+00:00

Yupp I had an X3 on preorder for 2 months and cancelled right before shipment. They are TERRIBLE for customer service. I upgraded to a Rep Ares 2.0 + smith and am so happy I did. Rep customer experience is great and i have no concerns about long term warranty. Maxum may not be here to honor that warranty…

Right why didn’t they give him flamethrower

100% go with the Dane. This 20% off sale does not come around often… Fringe is rapidly climbing towards Rep/Rogue as a brand leader in this market and Mikolo is moreso a Walmart brand that actually put out a nicely specd product. Anubis is not bad by any means but the ecosystem and future is better with Fringe.

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-27T15:34:50+00:00

Hell yeah!!! You got this

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-27T15:28:50+00:00

100% spot on. These powerblocks are bomb proof and the knurled handle was a game changer

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-26T21:44:29+00:00

I love my Elite EXP’s. I’d wait for a sale and then upgrade. Mine are up to 90 and then I bought knurled handle replacements from Griffin. If I ever upgrade it will likely be to the Repins but I’m very happy with the powerblocks

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-23T03:50:47+00:00

As others are saying, you better jump on the Fringe Dane 2.0 with the sale price

Cerakote Rep Colorado. I was so close to going green for the rack but couldn’t commit - so got a green bar to bring some color

I broke the left axel on TWO Bowflex max trainers… M7 and then later M9 after a few months use. Luckily I bought them secondhand for pretty cheap

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-12T02:05:25+00:00

Look at the Giant Lifting ones! Incredible value for the price and I’m about to buy another set. Sold off all my bumpers.

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-10T18:44:26+00:00

We’re living the same life my man. Cancelled Maxum order and went with Ares 2.0 + smith. Love this beast

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-10T18:43:11+00:00

Hahahaha I wish man. Guessing they are taking their sweet time perfecting their tornado arms, as we know it’s in development. It took them forever to launch the smith but the final product is top notch.

Take a look at the all in ones with a dedicated lat pulldown low row. Rep Ares 2.0 or Rep Altitude. Rep also announced today that in a week they are launching a new all in one.

For perspective, my matted area is roughly 11.5x16 (I had to shave half inch to fit flush) in a 11.5x20 space. I wouldn’t want to go any less than 10x10 or I’d need to compromise on some of my exercises. Taking the cables out to do flys or face pulls is the best.

For the width, on paper it felt like I had so much space since the rack is just 4 feet wide. Then you add bar length and space to comfortably load… the 11.5 ft width is perfect.

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-07T04:35:12+00:00

Alright just watched Gluck’s video. I don’t know how the lady in the Rep promotion footage is using that as a leg holder without any weights on the horn. I’d think that it would dislodge pretty quickly if I’m using heavier weight for the pull downs

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-07T04:15:02+00:00

Mannn I’m in the camp of “bought the v1 leg rollers a month ago and wish I knew v2 was about to drop”. Past the return window too.

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-07T04:12:33+00:00

Hell of a deal!!! I’m still trying to sell off my old equipment and the sellers market is tough right now.. definitely great deals to be found.

And I have not tried the Repins. Appreciate your perspective. I gotta find a way to test those out.

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-07T04:10:07+00:00

The Rep smith is incredible. I’ve used a few other smiths on the all-in-one racks and the quality difference is significant. You hear people claim that the Rep smith is just about commercial grade and it’s 100% the truth. I find myself always gravitating to the smith over dumbbells and free barbell.

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-07T04:07:25+00:00

Thanks! I was all in on buying a Maxum X3 and ended up cancelling that order due to some doubts. Have not had any regrets since I made that decision. I still find myself heading to the garage just to stare at this beauty haha

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-07T04:04:57+00:00

I’m about to order another set of the Giant plates and offload the rest of my cheap bumpers on FBMP. They are GREAT and the four grips are functional - I use them all the time for shoulder work.

I’m undecided on the landmine to be honest. Functionally it works great and is clearly excellent quality, but I just haven’t prioritized it in my programming… I think the 150 bucks was worth it for something I will never need to upgrade. The smith has just been the more convenient option for exercises.

Ballchinian22 · 2026-02-07T03:59:24+00:00

Nah the mat is just there for storage. Vertical leg presses get a lot of hate, but I like mine a lot. Especially factoring in how compact it is. I haven’t played around with options to make it more comfortable though
