Pros of the T3 bench combo
As with everything from TITAN you get a lot of steel for a very good price. With some other vendors, you pay the same amount of money just for the bench. So if you want to save some money, this is the way to go.
Cons of the T3 bench combo
You get what you pay for. There are several reports of TITAN equipment with poor welds, blemishes or inconsistent finish on coatings. In the end, you are buying gym equipment so it is not rocket science. Most of these shortcomings are cosmetic rather than functional. Still, if you want to represent or get the best quality in the market, TITAN might not be your first stop.
Alternatives to the T3 bench combo
The TITAN rack is the top of the crop rack from TITAN. It has 3x3 uprights and 1” bolts. This is the heaviest and sturdiest rack you can get from TITAN. Compared to market prices it is also very affordable.
The X3 is basically the same model as the Titan rack with two differences. It doesn’t have numbered holes on the uprights and the keyhole design. This means that you can use fewer attachments with it which you have not necessarily bought from Rogue.
The T2 model comes in various shapes and heights and can be configured differently for your home gym to make it fit your space. The main difference to the other Titan racks is that the uprights are 2x2 instead of 2x3 or 3x3.
Summary for the T3 bench combo
If you need a bench and rack on a budget and you are under 90kg or shorter than 6 feet, this is your pick.
