This bar is my daily driver. At just under $300, this is a great value for an awesome barbell. I love the feel of the knurling, it’s the perfect amount of aggressiveness for me. I’ve never lost a deadlift on grip with this bar (I also am a weak deadlifter), but it also doesn’t destroy your back on squats. The black zinc & bright zinc finish has never shown signs of rust in my shed gym. The black zinc has shown signs of wear but nothing egregious. I would pick the stainless finish over this in a vacuum, but the price difference makes this finish the better value. You won’t regret buying this barbell!!

I use these exclusively for bench press. They live on my titan bench press rack. For this specific use I love them! Unracking heavy bench’s by yourself is no fun and these solve that problem at a relatively decent price!

This plate tree is solid. Bought it new and held all my plates as intended! Easy to assemble and looks great. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for!

Pin pipe safeties are a bit of a pain adjust but I typically set them in my squat rack and forget it as I’m typically the only one using my rack. Wouldn’t even want to do rack pulls off these in fear of bending them. But pin presses/squats are doable since you won’t be slamming the bar into the pins. These get the job done and aren’t flashy- better options on the market at a higher price

Great space efficient way to have a belt squat in a home gym setting! I’m able to get a full ROM squat with no load/strain on my back. Great accessory to keep training interesting. Do need to load kinda heavy to get a good stimulus. I would love to upgrade to the dual weight horns as loading plates vertically is a pain. I use small change plates as spacers to make unloading easier. Not nearly as good as a dedicated belt squat but in a home gym setting (with space and budget constraints) this is a winner. Kick stand is a must

One of my favorite pieces of equipment I have period! Super solid construction all at an affordable price. Titan doesn’t make this any more but if one pops up on marketplace I would highly recommend!! Just need to swap the bench pad out as the vinyl is slippery and the foam is not super dense. Pairs nicely with the Titan monolift arms

It’s not a home gym unless you can smell these bad boys when you open up the door!! If they only made nose tork that smelled of horse stall mats…that would get me hyped for a lift!! But seriously the best flooring for a home gym

3/4” thick of pure perfection. If they only made these in a larger size (maybe 4x6’ ??) they would be the perfect gym flooring
