Love the budget reviews. Always entertaining!

The color selection gag at 5:49 was hilarious! Keep up the fun and informative reviews!

Good review. I picked the T-2 because of the shorter height option. I built my gym in my older basement, which has less clearance room, and some ductwork in the way. I could have spent more, but I did not find another option at 71". This works for me. I wanted one that fit my basement and had plenty of attachment options. Since I bought the rack, I have also purchased a couple of other attachments, such as the pulley system and the dip attachment. There is a little more wiggle room than I would prefer, but again, it works.

Nice review and you’re right that the T-2 Power Rack is all what a lot of exercise enthusiast will ever need.

Bought one of these in 2021 and it has been fantastic. I added in the multi-grip pullup attachment and the Y dip bars and I get a ton of use out of it! Very well-priced and well-built

Picked up a TDS Rack 72" about a year ago on Craigslist for $150. Price included dip attachment. Use metal rods in back of rack as plate holders, holds 200 lbs & makes rack solid / stable. Seems very similar to T2 Titan Rack.

I'm always appreciative of your attention to detail. I've seen a ton of reviews of this rack and none of them have mentioned the spacing issue that can happen if you place bumpers in the wrong area, or the fact that the strap safeties are too loose to use while benching. Great review!👌

Great review!

The nice thing about the 72" tall model is you can add Titan's multi-grip pullup bar that will increase the height at the front of the rack by 6.5".

Great review 🏋‍♂️

Great review. Hits the important issues. Have been using this in our home. The T-2 is compact, inexpensive, and effective. The 12-gauge steel version is solid. Store weights on the back and it is safe. The addition of safety spotter arms and roller J-cups have been good attachments. Minor finish issues as delivered, as expected.

Love the vids Gluck. Because of the great writing I’ll excuse the delivery 😂 totally kidding, big fan here. My New Year’s resolution will be to comment and like all of your vids. If my dad ever comes back it might make him proud

Thanks for posting up a review for the Titan T-2 Power Rack!! Definitely nice to see it get some recognition. 🙂 I was able to grab a 83in T-2 rack for $300 at the beginning of the pandemic. Boy was that price a steal compared to the price it's going for right now. Delivery was quick. Can't say much on the packaging (as we all know by now how Titan packaging goes), but Titan was able to compensate for the damaged goods inside the box. I still utilize the rack almost every day for my lifts. I also grabbed the 10-inch extension kit during Black Friday for a really good price for my bumper plates. And yup, just you stated in the video at the 10:40 mark, my bumper plates would get in the way of lifting since there wasn't enough clearance so I place the bumper plates inside of the cage. It's just a hassle getting the weights in and out of the cage since I live in a tight space but I guess it gets the job done lol. This is definitely the best budget power rack imo!

I’ve had my T-2 since 2017 and it has been great. Super cheap, but it does what it’s designed to do!

Have the T3 only because they were out of stock on the T2 83". Still happy with my purchase. I like my Titan products. Thanks for the reviews!

I chose this one due to the steel thickness, lined J-Cups, and beefy safeties. Yes the pin & pipes are annoying but if I'm using a budget safety system these things give me peace of mind that straps or questionably welded spotter arms don't. I recently added a double pulley system from Archon between the rear cross member and the pull-up bar which combined with one of the included 70" cables essentially gave me a $52 pulldown system.

Best budget rack? Let me know if there's one better and maybe we'll check it out!

You should review the Bodycraft RFT. It’s a beast!! Great channel I love the videos!

Unfortunately the T-2 is now listed as 14 gauge steel which was one of their main advantages. IMO this change means this rack is no longer the clear cut budget favorite though it does still have some advantages (2" hole spacing, more attachments from the manufacturer).

I guess I'm old school when it comes to racks - safety pins is all I've ever had on any rack I've ever used. My T2 will outlive me and has everything I'll ever need in a rack.

Put three of them in my hs weight room! Beyond the rack depth, my athletes are totally satisfied with it!

Always appreciate your blunt honest takes on everything you review. It’s what helped me decide to finally buy my new REP PR-5000 & ARES attachment last week (using your affiliate link of course…because why not?💪), & just sent this review to my cousin who’s looking for a decent option at a lower price point.

I’m really happy with my recently acquired Rep Fitness PR 1000 which is 2” deeper than the or 1100 plus the two inch hole spacing, came with lat attachment, weight storage, incline bench and dips. It’s solid doing my dips and pull ups and I’m 6’2” 251lbs. Received it two days after ordering and it was well packed for shipping. No missing parts, nothing damaged.

A disadvantage of the T-2 is it lacks the holes along the base supports to be able to use resistance bands with pegs. Powertec provides a good solution for their racks but they would need some modification to work on the Titan T-2 rack. A big advantage for me is that the T-2 rack can be used without having to bolt it to the floor as with the T-3 rack. The gauge steel used is irrelevant as it does not affect the total load that can be safely supported. Who in their right mind would do squats with 800 lbs of weight and no spotter or someone to call an ambulance after a fail.

Been looking into upgrading my at home workouts. Past two years I've been doing sandbag HIIT. I'm looking now into building a dedicated home gym. My basement has low hanging ceilings so I really need something 72". I was comparing this and the Rep PR-1050 and I really appreciate the honest review. A side by side review of these two for us basement dwellers would be great.

Love my t3 rack. Affordable and gets the job done! It’s funny about the instructions. It was a nightmare on the screen puttin together 😂😂😂

Damn dude that trt is working wonders, looking massive, buddy

Ok love the review as alwwys I personally would love to see you try out and review some Force USA stuff like the MyRack or Mybench and other things, as I think they could or are very solid choices.

I wonder if Titan improved the safety straps? Great review!

I have the t2 and I love it… they just updated website and now it says t2 is 14 gauge steel not 12, so I feel like it’s been 14 the whole time…

I would call this the best mid range and all you’ll ever need rack. Best budget is my lightly used 100 dollars for me fitness reality 810 xlt

The TDS rack is just as rugged. Had one for about 15 years, its great. Lot of bang for the buck.

You actually can use a Darko anchor with this rack. I use one on mine. If you email Darko they’ll get you the proper hardware to make it work. They made the experience amazing for me.

I'm sure I'm in a niche here but I would love a review on the BOS calibrated plates or comparison between them and the rouge ones!

I honestly now wisd i never sold my T2 to upgrade to a monster rack. I could have used that money for other equipment. But i got caught up in the wanting the best. Or at least better.

ohhh A Titan Review, this should be good.

The website now lists it as 14g steel. But I think it always was because l just got a new one delivered and aside from there being more holes in the uprights 35 as opposed to 28 on my older one the steel is the same thickness.

I love how you show both he good and bad in a detailed manner. I just wish you focused more on the brutal side when it came to BOS gear as well, because they are a lot like Titan.

Did I need top end everything when I bought my equipment no, but I wanted a gym experience n top end equipment. I think the fact that titan is improving so much shows that them and other companies are starting to get that most people don’t have thousands to spend. But they still want quality.nice review

The definition of subtlety with the rack to the right 🤣

Before Titan there was TDS from New York Barbell. I feel like they still put out a decent budget rack.

I have a wall mounted t-3 but I do miss my old t-2 rack and wouldn’t mind getting another for my gym. Great review, hope you can do another video on this maybe focusing on attachments exercises for those.

I own the Titan T-2 and bought it in large part due to its having the smallest footprint of any rack but I would have much preferred a rack with hole markings cut into the steel. Adding the lat pull station adds nearly 2 feet to the depth needed for the rack and so I could not use it.

Plz cover ritfit PC-410Ccc!! I need your honesty!!

My dude, we need a Force USA G10 Pro or G3 review. Make it Glucking happen!

The Titan T-2 and the Rep PR-1000 are both 14 gauge at this time. We've had good customer service from Rep and we love our Rep bench - is there a reason to go with the T-2 over the PR-1000?

Similarly, it's been great owning the Titan T-3 for the last couple of years, but my biggest complaint is that I want them to improve their strap safeties! I hate my pin/pipes, but it's obvious from their pictures and other peoples' reviews that their current design is worthless because of how loose they are. Wish they'd fix them!

I would just be using this as a resistance band functional trainer. Is it sturdy enough to withstand pulls without dragging it?

The only one that I think would give it a run for it's money is powerline ppr1000 from body solid. I have yet to see a review of that rack.

On titan web pag this t-2 rack says its 14 gauge steel .

Can you do incline in the rack using the Titan T 2 with something like a Rep AB-3100 or would you need to use the front of the rack?

Hey man, I just noticed something recently. Titan T2 on the site now says 14GA. IDK when they changed this. Had to come back to this vid to check as I remembered you saying T2 had better steel. Very titan of them lmao.

Our First rack in the No whine cellar was a OG titan t2 2015-2022 she was very serviceable

The T-2 just changed to 14 gauge steel on their web site 😢😢😢

Hey @gluck in the screenshot for this video, where you using BoS calibrated plates? If so, will you be reviewing them soon?

Let’s be honest: no human being is going to break or bend the Titan rack. Any rack thicker than this is heavily overbuilt.

I’ve had this now (the original t2) for 6 years, every accessory they make for it, but way back before the materials increase. Some call it a starter rack but it will last a lifetime.

Do you know if the t2 71 inch rack I can install like tricep pull down and cables for cable flys?

Does the T2 power rack allow for a dip attachment?

For the safety straps, can you set the far end (the side opposite of the jcup) higher to get rid of the slack?

I looked really hard and I was waiting on a sale on the t2……..then the x-3 sale popped up and I got that. My only regret is that I got the flat foot version that apparently the lat pull down doesn’t fit……….I guess. I may still try and fit it on there. I have a welder. I will say this………I hate saftey straps! I made my own pin and pipe safety’s and then saved up for the spotter arms.

Here for the Gluckster

I have a lot of Body Solid stuff but never much 0f their stuff on your site, any reason why?

I run my safety straps with the non-j cup side one or two spots higher while I bench, and it catches,no problem. Can you please review the T-2 Lat pulldown attachment? There is nothing noteworthy about it on you tube. 🙏

I had a bells residential rack with a lat pull-down and some sandwich J cups for about a year before I moved and had to downsize. I suspect if you reviewed it you would prefer it over this one because of the westside hole spacing and bare steel pull-up bar.

Is 3x3 11 gauge overkill for home gym?

Rep PR 1100 review?

Advantage of being able to use accessory items from Yes4all and other sellers at half the cost of the Titan accessories.

I picked up a T2 because I couldn't bring myself to cut down a Rep/Rogue rack to fit in my basement. It's been going strong for 3 years now.

Is it just me or is Gluck looking pretty buff in that shirt?

Is the T-2 Power Rack a true 2" x 2" rack with 2" hole spacing or is it actually 50mm x 50mm with 50mm hole spacing since it's imported?

I think Titan has its place in the home gym. Some stuff, no definitely pay more. Some stuff, Titan offers true value. I recently got their roller j cups and the Moby Dick power bar and both were affordable and packaged very well. Like zero damages, it was awesome!

I’m still loving the Bells light commercial rack and they have a good amount of attachments and probably more to come even with the focus moving to hydra series but it wasn’t “cheap” by any means

I'm pretty sold on getting this t2 for my basement. Only question I've got, did they just change the materials for this rack since this video came out? On their site it says this rack is a 2x2 with 14g steel (not 12).

Absolutely love my t2 and all the attachment options it comes with. At the time it was in my budget. I do wish i couldve gone with the t3 or x3 though.

I have the t2 short. I have a low basement ceiling and it works great

Rack pulls on pins? I crie.

I'm in between the titan r2 or the rep pr1100 which one should I go for?

The T-2 seemed OK but now it has been changed to 14 gauge so it is the same as anyone else

X3 Wallmount has been the best choice I could have made. Cheap, 3x3, super stable.

Still out of stock on their Web site. Any idea to when it'll be back?

Can't wait to see what Alan Thrall has to say about this review 😅

Can anyone tell me the difference between the old t2 version and the new t2 version power rack? I am looking to buy the 83 inch tall one but what are the differences from the older version to the current version?

This just reminded me that I don't think I have the correct socket size to assemble my new power cage :o

That is a great budget rack. I am sure as it gets more popular titan will jack up the price to unaffordable like they have with all their X3 attachments and racks.

Being honest i onlywatch this because ofwinnie sorry gluck 😅

for the 83" rack, can someone please confirm what height the highest hole is at? They show pics of a rack that has holes right to the top, which isn't the same as the one being reviewed here or what i've seen on other pics from people. I asked Titan but got a completely useless reply, telling me the height of the top bar for some reason, which i never asked about. Thanks in advance

i wouldnt consider this a “budget “ rack. the base t-2 costs over 400 bucks. significantly more than the 810xlt or progear 1600 at 249 bucks currently. this is a step up from those price wise

I still have those tools almost 3 years later 😂

I want to see this actual review. The $200 rack review I watched for the jokes.

Bought a budget power rack Then I tore my pecker off!

Sure beats the T-1

I have Titan rack equipment.. who cares about the comparison between the rouge .. it’s good enough for me for a home gym .. if anyone wants to workout with top notch equipment join a gym

I have a Fit 505 rack ( extension on my rack is 17in) which is very similar and would accept all the accessories but Titan doesn't ship to Canada, but overall that T2 rack looks better then mine. Synergee's accessories are never in stock!!

A while ago I got a Rep1000 rack, which I think is a bit better than this. Then I bought T2 attachments for ones Rep doesnt make (straps, monolifts, may get sandwich or roller j cups). Its the only other 1in hole 2in upright rack with 2 in hole spacing. Note reps is a hair over 2in spacing, but its still very close and tigher spacing than the others like the rep1100, and many others that are 3 in spacing. Rep1000 rack is a bit bigger than the T2. Width and depth. This improves usign the titan straps. Also when used with T2 monolifts you can bench because the J cup mounts higher. The Weight storage goes back farther so its less in the way. The T2 the storage is is close that if you use big plates like bumpers it could get in the way while lifting if you are too close. Note the primary con of wider is some specialty bars like ssbs may not fit, like the BOS adn Titan SSB's are a really tight fit or wont work. Rep1000 has numbers on the front which is nice over having none. Rep1000 they sell flip down safeties which you cna use instead of the metal ones or T2 straps. Rep1000 only has a 700lb weight capacity over T2's 850, but most of us will never be lifting 700+, especially from the rack. To anyone who actually read this, I'd get the Rep 1000 over the 1100. The 1100 has 3 in hole spacing which in my opinion is trash. No benefit to worse spacing. The 2 in spacing really matters when you are tryign to setup benc hsafeties that aretn too high or too low to be useful.

We just bought the ETHOS from dicks. Seems to be nice but we don’t know any better. Thoughts?

I got titans leg press hack squat machine and had to use my own tools

WTF, Gluck being nice to Titan....how much $$ did Titan have to give you???

Best budget rack are from South America, but not without risks. 😈

This looks leaps and bounds over the version I got in 2014. Kudos to Titan for getting better. Except for the straps. They’ve always sucked.
