Not always, but for example like getting the buddy capps Texas power bar, the product feels like it was created with more passion, more love. Not driven by a profit motive, but an artistic and soul based one.

Titan.fitness — I really like how cheap the stuff is, and also the free shipping, and the fact that it shipped really fast because it is based in California. But the downside is that it feels really cheap and shoddily made, the quality of the welds, the end caps, the sleeves and the material are terrible.

For example with the Texas power squat bar that I have… It is literally the most beautiful thing that I own. The chrome sleeves are phenomenal, and the gnurling and the grip of the bar is godlike.
