A New Titan in the Bench Game

We think Titan Fitness has fallen short in the past with its line of weight benches. The equipment manufacturer, however, is correcting course with its new TITAN Series Adjustable Bench.

At a price point of $449.99 (and free shipping), Titan is gunning for the likes of REP Fitness and Rogue Fitness, two iconic strength equipment brands with, in our opinion, a legendary line of benches. Watch the full video above for Coop’s honest take on Titan’s new bench, but here’s a quick list of specs:

• 27 configurable positions: 9 back pad positions and 3 seat pad positions.

• A 1,000-pound flat weight capacity and 600-pound incline pad capacity.

• An IPF-approved bench height of 17 inches.

• A sturdy 11-gauge steel frame.

The Power of Protein

Protein is often called the “king of macronutrients” for its role in the muscle-building process and its ability to help muscle tissue recover after workouts. Dietary proteins also contain essential micronutrients and are delicious and satiating options for fit-minded folks.

But you may be wondering, “How much protein does a person need?” and luckily, the answer is pretty simple, unlike the answers to many other fitness questions — between 1.2 and 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight. But we encourage you to dive deeper into this popular GGR article to learn about your daily protein requirements.
