Best praise vs top criticism for Kabuki Strength Transformer Bench
“I had the transformer v1 and sold it for the prime super squat bar. I really like the transformer bar in theory - but ultimately there were some aspects I didn’t like and it was mostly a big clunky bar. The prime super squat is so nice though. Hatfield lunges are my favorite with the Prime Bar”
“Bought a stand alone [Titan Squatmax-MD](https://titan.fitness/products/squatmax-md) a few months ago and it been a good addition with one minor caveat. I'm bottoming out where the weights hit the floor before I feel a good stretch. I recently [saw a reel](https://www.instagram.com/p/DLDtB9ossPM/) on their Instagram page where the athlete was using an elevated platform with a cutout hole to increase their height to avoid this- I reached out to the person running the page and they said 1- they no longer make the platform and 2- using the secondary hole with the transformer pin will allow me to hit depth. Sadly, apparently I'm inept because I've tried every configuration of using higher loops with both the transformer pin as well as the extensor pin (which only goes in the top hole), **so I'm looking for creative solutions: does anyone know of any product similar to that standing block available for purchase?** I was thinking of maybe getting a [T Bar Rowing Platform](https://titan.fitness/products/rowing-platform) for the elevated surface but I feel like the joinery won't clear the SquatMax hole. Worst case scenario is I could probably [build one](https://garagegymexperiment.com/2022/10/25/diy-t-bar-row-platform/), where the joins are different but I'm a bit limited in tools available to me. TIA for any and all solutions.”
