Got it for dirt cheap during one of their sales, would definitely purchase again. No issue with it mechanically, but I think I've only put about 600 on there, so take that for what it's worth. One of the plastic inserts for the cross member was broken on mine, and Titan couldn't replace it at the time because they didn't have spares. More of a Titan shipping issue than anything, but still not great.

Got them because they passed the "they're too cheap for me to make a DIY option" test. They are extremely humbling when you first use them. My only dig is the cut line isn't the straightest in the world, but they still go on the bar with no issues.

Been using two different pairs for the last five years. I use them for almost every workout for something and they still lock up tight.

Grant did an awesome job with these plates. I have some 45s and a loadable dumbbell cart loaded with change plates and they all look fantastic. There's something to be said for classic looking black iron plates that are as accurate as these are. I've used them for regular barbell work in addition to loading them on to strongman implements and the ecoat has held up great. Just don't deadlift with them on the concrete in front of the Jefferson Memorial and yours will look great too.

I'm horrible at oly lifts, but I would still use these even if I wasn't. I've had most of my set for over six years now, and the only thing different now is some cosmetic scratches. They're very dense, so don't expect a huge bounce. I would definitely buy these again, even if they are a bit pricier than other options.

Exquisitely made bar from Rogue. Fits in my R-3 with room to spare and it works a lot better than my miniscule biceps would suggest. I use it fairly frequently, and the finish has held up very well over the past few years.

I got this to Frankenstein my Rogue R-3 into a six post rack. If you are going to do something similar, just note that the widths are slightly different and the hole pattern is off (vertically) by an inch. Pretty solid overall, and the j cups that came with it are surprisingly nice.

This thing is bomb proof. The steel is 3/8" and it doesn't shake at all, even in different positions. It sure is heavy, but you can wheel it around easy enough. I'm not getting rid of mine, and I would highly recommend getting one used (provided you can transport it)
