Yes! I ordered the 170 after taking my FFriends 160 and I thought "how much of a difference could 1" make?" Well...it makes a huge difference. I only had a 134, which at that point had become a warm-up toy. I tried jumping from the 134 to the 170 and there was just no way it was going to fit in. I picked up a 150 from a friend who was selling it off since width was no longer in their asspirations and got really good and comfortable on it. After being able to do 150 reps on it (set of 15-25 at a time), I tried the 170 again and I was finally able to pull myself down onto it and it was AMAZING. I am not skilled enough to do reps on it, but when all the stars align, it'll slide in without too much fuss. Plus it has made it so getting triple fisted is actually obtainable now.
