Fits into the “when I remember it” category which is probably pretty telling overall. That said, well built and does help - I just have to be smart enough to remember to use it!

Titan got these right - not that there is a lot to screw up. They are affordable, built well, and do exactly what you need. Straightforward but an easy “win” for any gym or training space

This is an absolute unit. Heavy, great guides, great functionality. I got mine second hand out of an Ohio State weight room. Getting unit like this for price I got was a huge win, but pricing it new suggests I’d never have it! If you are able to find one and you have space, you won’t regret. Far more versatile than the Rogue sled, and the foot plates are easily modified to be a lot bigger with plenty of room.

Are what they are. Do what they say they will do. But I’ve also owned Titan and they worked great, and we made homemade ones that worked great. So kind of tough to screw up. Some of ours are holding 550# in calibrated with no sag

I’m nostalgic for this piece as I used the hell out of one in HS for football workouts and found a lot of versatility could be built into the piece. This is not one to buy if you have a limited or tight floor space, or lack the unexplainable passion I have for it. They come up CHEAP on secondary market with my piece being a $200 FB marketplace find and I’ve since seen 20-30 for 150-400. Can be used as a poor man’s Viking press though grip is very narrow, but with a bench dropped in it’s a nice incline press motion as well.

For years these rolled around in my gym bag being dragged anywhere I went for variety. They stopped getting consistent use when I bought my first axle bar, less when I built a better one, and almost none aside from specialty bar applications with my latest upgrade. However, they’ve found themselves in the hands of some of the HS athletes who come and go so hopefully they serve another decade of gain chasing

Had no problems with receipt on world famous Titan shipping/packaging. I have a 9 and I believe a 5 bar holder from them. Neither is anything remarkable but both are perfectly functional and do the job well.
