A dime a dozen piece in gums that you can get anywhere and have about the same quality. Nothing stands out, but it’s functional, sturdy, and cheap. Tough to argue for a piece like this!

A budget bug that was a waste of time. The padding was terrible. The functionality was poor. Build alignment was poor. Load rating was known to be poor but I wouldn’t even push that. Perhaps my worst gym buy and I felt bad selling to a friend and feel like I still owe an apology.

Some will say it’s a cheap knock off. They are right. Some will say it’s built of inferior materials. They are right. But it’s tough to deny the overall impact of the V1. It’s still built like a tank, great for heavy hypers, and was a great 10 ft piece - meaning at 10 ft people didn’t really know it was Titan. It held everyone’s crap like a champ when not in use. All the mothers in my gym absolutely hated the pad, as they all said it hit wrong. We purged this and our GHD to clear space for a Rogue Donkey. I actually hated seeing this piece go. Titan got one right! Old pic but best I have - it’s hiding way back in the corner when we were still in the garage

Was a fantastic piece and I was able to get used from someone pissed off about it who sold it to me for $50 because it was uncomfortable and they wanted it gone. After hearing them bash it for 15 minutes, I didn’t have the energy to tell them it was uncomfortable because the pads were mounted up backwards. Served us very well after a quick refurb for about 2 years before we went to a combined GHD/Hyper via the Rogue Donkey

I was not a fan. Pieces wanted to separate, ripped or damaged easily. If you are doing a small room in a basement these would make sense over stall mats, but in any large space just go tried and true in trusty stall mats. Can see in background of pic and we pulled all up, replaced with stall mats, and sold at a steep discount to next home gym guru!

Similar to other feedback, it’s a decent product but once you use an f8, a battle ready, or a bench daddy you realize how inferior these are.

The gateway drug into band shirts, it’s a solid piece but once you experience a bench daddy, f8 widowmaker, or battle ready insert you won’t rate these any higher

We have two versions, one is a raw bar that the knurling is absolutely nasty on, and one coated bar that is more forgiving. Both are solid bars. Neither are a Texas or an F8, but not a decision in buying either that I regret. One was a regular buy and other was a boneyard.
