Titan Fitness: We love your channel, would you mind reviewing our products? *_Alan Thrall:_*

Alan, which of these racks would be best for me to do 65-pound bicep curls?

I guess you can say this video was an... Attack on Titan Fitness

The only thing I want in a power rack, is enough space to do bicep curls in.

Titan will keep sending him sled poles for eternity. Lol

You can't compare titan to elitefts. One costs 400+ the other one is 1400+.

"I have ended my friendship with Titan Fitness. Now Elite FTS is my best friend." -Alan

Are you trying to show how strongman training can be implemented in real life with those first few shots? Impressive, actually.

I could listen to you talk about racks all day. What do you say to an Untamed Wet T Shirt Contest?

Never had a problem with my Titan rack or any other products I've purchased through them. Titan is more than adequate for most home gyms. Alan has a training center, as such should have higher quantity equipment.

I have a titan half rack. If I remember correctly, it only took three shipping/return rounds to get the right product... then they send me an extra bottom set and never responded to my email when I asked if they wanted it back, LOL.

Allan Thrall “ these are great racks” - 2018

*Places camera* runs for the shot *runs back to pick up the camera* dedication

To add insult to injury. Titan sent out letters letting everyone know they had a data breach and our card info was stolen lol

Marks mustache is the reason this video gets a thumbs up.

Interesting. I bought Titan Fitness T-3 rack about 3 years ago for my home gym and it's been great, but you did hit the nail on the head. Titan Fitness I would generally say is NOT mean for commercial gym use. Their products are generally great for the price for home/garage gym users where many can't afford to dump $2,000+ on each piece of equipment. I've been very happy with mine, but I could see them not holding up to extended use in a commercial gym setting, and can also see it being likely for their products to be damaged in shipment.

something about new gym equipment videos is so satisfying

The earthquake bar is beneficial in the later stages of rehab or prehab and should help improve shoulder stability by facilitating coordinated firing of rotator cuff muscles to maintain a stable shoulder throughout the bench ROM. It comes from a principle used in physical therapy called rhythmic stabilization if you want to look it up. So the benefit would be that your members might want to use it when coming back from a rotator cuff injury or just intermittently for preventing one.

God I wish I had a gym just like yours around me!! Its actually so affordable and so worth it!! Ugh so frustrating I wish there was a powerlifting gym around me

Williams Strength/EliteFTS does make a good rack. Not a fan of no holes on the side of the upright or laser cut numbers for the price, but they're definitely stable. Welded panels are great.

I would have gladly taken one of those racks and old untamed strength platforms

I have a cambered bar and reverse hyper from titan and I couldn’t be any happier with them. They are great

Looks massive. Nice. I am super happy with my Rogue Monster Lite for my home gym, it's amazing for people wanting a gym inside a room in their home.

Allan...I’ve followed your videos for a long time now....I swear that I was really close to move to California just to train in your gym...maybe one day. Happy holidays to you and your family! Thanks for all the great content and entertainment!

My son bought an Elite Fts for our home gym. He also made an Alan Thrall deadlift platform. The rack is great. We unloaded it from the freight truck at home. That wasn't fun at all.

Super jelly of the Elite FTS racks, they look great in your gym!

Two vids back to back? Thanks Alan!

All you need to do with a titan x2 is get the support brace add ons and it becomes rock solid. Also, it has a thicker 9 gauge steel compared to typical 11 gauge steel used for the beams.

I have a Titan 3x3 rack, ghd, Farmers walk handles, dumbell handles, flat bench,incline bench, monolift attachment and a sled and they've all shipped quick and never had any issues with them at all. Also have a Titan barbell but it sucks, it's a beater bar now replaced with TX power and deadlift bar. Not sure if anything changed or I got lucky time after time. Been fine for a 500lb bench, 650lb squat plus 850lb rack pulls.

I have a Titan rack ...it's better than nothing

*swinging from the pull-up bar* "Cooper! Campbell! This is a squat rack!" Best shout out if I ever saw one. That said, I'd be interested in seeing how it holds up over time - maybe not the structural integrity which looks crazy solid but things like coating and attachments. Also, besides its very visible sturdiness, what makes it a better rack than say a Rogue RM-6 or RML-690? For a fellow gym owner, are there any benefits to making the investment in one or two of these racks vs. say a more affordable alternative in Rogue equipment that can be furnished with any number of their accessories? I'm of the mind quality over gimmicks but some of the higher end EliteFTS racks run ~$3k and you have to wonder if the extra quality is worth the money that adds up over two, three, or more racks. Anyway, good looking EliteFTS!

That elitefts rack is one hot piece of ace

That's why I just fab/weld my own equipment; made one power rack over 20 years ago and it doesn't need replacing, still square, nothing bent, holes still tight..when you use 2.5 inch square tube with 3/8 wall cold rolled steel, it's going to be strong. Lot of gym equipment makers love to skimp on thick--bigger metal stock, not all have the facitility, experience, equipment to fabricate metal, but I would suggest it for anyone like Alan.

Watching this as I assemble my new Titan power rack. Seems like a fine rack

fun fact: when you search for a commercial rack in google you don't find titan rack. They are definitely not for commercial use they are for budget-friendly home gyms.

wait...so spending more money can get a better quality rack??? amazing

Does Adam paul have a brother too?

I can only afford home gym stuff... Still using 15 year old york equipment lol

Alan is always playing good music. I know every song he plays it's so nice to know someone else loves the same shit I do. I know there's a lot of metalheads in the world but somehow I just never come across them in life.

The last one you showed, that weird dumbbell shaking thing. I used it because I train german shepherd dogs. It trains me to adjust my strength when things aka dogs tugs me around when I do obedience and bite work. Thats what thats for. For poeple to withstand force of being yanked around. To still have a grip because a lot of people weak out when the slightest thing bump them.

5:25 The way Alan looks over at the racks with exquisite disdain and says "Titan Fitness" sends me hahaha

0:55 Ignore this I’m leaving this here for personal use

I buy all my gear from strength shop, ( I live in England) and it's pretty good but, ... I did buy one of their own brand racks last year and it was dog s*$t! I ended up sending it back and putting my old cheap bolt together rack back up, luckily I hadn't got rid of it yet, I still have it today :)

I love my titan squat rack, great for my home gym, I also dont squat 500 pounds

Titan is not for commercial use, but for home, gym are all pretty good

That thumbnail looks like a beauty queen on a float waving to the crowd....

Man, guess I got lucky with my Titan T3 rack. It's perfect, and solid as can be, even unbolted. Those Elite FTS tracks look amazing, though.

The way you talk about those new racks is marvelous :D

the Black Sabbath makes the vid...every gym worth the weight should play them...

This whole time I thought you were saying train on time 😂😂😂

Sad Allan didn’t try and do a couple muscle ups when he was swing around on the new racks good racks Allan 💪🏻💪🏻

8:51 children of bodom, nice! From Finland just like me. Your videos are great, my deadlift results (and technique) got better after watching your how to -videos.

Thanks bro 4 the info much needed 💪💪

I bought a R2 from Elite back in 09 and it’s still going great. It was before they had plastic on the j cups and drilled holes on the sides on the uprights. I love it and will never sell it.

They make good stuff for home gyms, better than crap racks at most rec centers

Alan isn't shilling here. I have an Elite FTS 3x3 rack in my basement, and he's not exaggerating about it at all. The only problem with an Elite FTS 3x3 rack is that it's impossible to outgrow it. BTW, you wont find better customer service, ANYWHERE, than what Matt Goodwin will provide.

"EliteFTS is Commercial quality, Titan fitness is home gym quality" Good analogy. I have the titan X-3 in my home gym, one of the legs doesn't even touch the ground, but it's heavy enough that it doesn't matter too much...

Alan is 100% accurate in saying elitefts is the best rack. you can tel these are American made by someone who takes pride in their work. And they are heavy heavy duty. its a lifetime investment for sure. But hes also accurate in saying that for the home gym guys elite and rogue is usually to much of an investment for the average blue collar guys. But titan will hold up for guys who are not quite elite class lifters. and he also said when titan gets it right its a great rack too. if you watched the whole video when its all said and done he still has two titan racks he kept!. great video ALAN.

I just realized my buddy works out at your gym. Cool ass dude for loaning out stuff during this corona bs. Look forward to watching more videos now that I feel like I know you ha ha!

Titan has served me well. Their reverse hyper is sturdy as fuck. Love it and their competition bench.

My Titan stuff arrived damaged and I never received the replacements after emails and calls. Completely forgot until I saw this video.

are you going to do a weightlifting meet again, Alan? Thanks for the great videos - I appreciate all the work you put into them!

That earth quake bar blew my mind. I think it's perfect for people who lift to get better at life. I got a pump from just watching you use it but I'm the kind of guy who has problems sitting still watching fights in movies.

Man I like your gym very much. Hope I'll have something similar of my own one day.

Imagine watching the rack bend all around you while Ozzy howls, “Oh, no, no, please God help me!”

You should start to make your own brand of equipment!

Thanks for shopping at Lowe's btw.

Never used an earthquake bar but I have attached weights with bands to a regular bar for overhead press. Don't really care for it on bench but it did wonderous things for my jacked up shoulder. Was also a nice way to do some light work and still feel like I was getting something out of it. Also lit up my upper back the first time i did it. So, theres that opinion.

AWESOME VIDEO....

I commented on another video about wanting info on safety bar. I got some here.

Candlemass, metal church, Black Sabbath. Outstanding sound track

Its so fucking weird that after all these years Alan hasnt made a video on Pros and Cons of Strongman training

It's only a king's ransom for an elitefts power rack. Their barbells are cheaper than Rogue however. I don't know how I got sucked into buying a living room full of gym equipment. Ten years ago my only piece of equipment was a jump rope.

Elitefts some day I will have a power rack in my garage. Someday 🤔🙏🏼 GOD WILLING

That earthquake bar reminds me of what it feels like to try to work on the gymnastic rings when you are not strong enough.

Those elite FTS racks look fucking awesome

Talk more on strength shop please because for us UK folk it's generally our go to option

Great Video Alan... Elitefts Logo on the racks looks very professional...Commercial Gym with TITAN logo looks discouraging

congratulations members and Alan

Alan doesn't need a moving company, he is the moving company.

For the price I love all of my Titan Fitness stuff, but I only have a home gym. Everything I have is well made, and will last my lifetime. Rogue is way better though way more expensive.

Elitefts has their garage gym line of racks and equipment too, their stuff is worth every penny and every inch in your gym

There's nothing wrong with Titan Fitness, they're just not made for commercial gyms. I have a bunch of Titan shit and I have zero complaints but I'm also not a huge guy and it's just a small home gym.

Marshall Tucker @ 5:30.... greetings from their hometown!

I have a ER equipment competition rack (squat/bench combo) in my garage. I was thinking about getting a rogue squat rack and just a adjustable bench, but I am really happy with what I got from ER. Got rest of my stuff from rogue-europe. Elite fts is too far away for shipping to be worth it.

Hmm, I've got a t-2 rack with plate holder extension, spotter arms, 6 pairs of 45s, SSB, neutral bench bar, axle bar, v2 trap bar, plate loaded cable tower and the adjustable dumbbell set (rest of my gym stuff isn't Titan) and didn't have a single problem with any of the shipments at all. All the horror stories about packaging or wrong products may be true, but I experienced the exact opposite

The Safety Squat Bar was created by Dave Draper.

They say if you stick around long enough, and strain your ears just enough, you can still hear the delivery driver bringing yet another sled pole

2 videos in 2 days, Christmas has come early!

When it comes to equipment, you get what you pay for. I got a quality American-made rack from Rogue and I spent twice as much as if I'd bought a Titan and I'd do it again. If you have the money, it's worth it to buy good gear once, rather than shitty gear twice.

The gym I goto has 6 titan racks. Took to long to ship and get all the parts, but they're good racks! Theres plenty of people at that gym that squat 500+ (it's a strongman gym) and they get the job done.

Can gladly say my Titan X3 flat foot rack is of the same quality powder coating and welds as my Rogue Fitness squat stands! I also have one of the older Titan Fitness T3 racks at the school I teach at! No issues! Titan Fitness quality has improved greatly in the past two years! Their v2 equipment(especially their ssb v2 bar) rivals Rogues and EliteFts stuff! Buy the brand you like, but don't overlook Titan Fitness!

It’s sucks because companies like titan fitness not only have awesome prices but offer folks an amazing opportunity to have a dope rack. I’m sure they have some absolute awful stories on quality but I can imagine that happening when a company like them explode in growth. Shipping logistics and etc have to be god awful and difficult for a company to carry out at those price ranges. Glad he got a Commercial grade rack he is happy with. 💪🏿

Got a hack squat machine from titan fitness for my physical therapy clinic and what a disappointment... The locking mechanism completely missed the hooks on the sled, the handles on the frame collided with the handles on the locking frame (so it hit another handle but not the hooks it's supposed to catch), and the adjustable pad on the slide frame was not welded correctly to let the locking pin slide into place. Tried for 3 weeks to get in contact with the rep from customer service who replied to my warranty complaint, but she kept dodging my calls. Will never use Titan Fitness again.

Been using Titan equipment for years and never had a problem. I can't speak to anything strongman because that isn't what I train in, but I have the T-2 rack, 45 pound barbell, plates of every weight, dumbbells of various weights, dip bar, and never had a single problem with any of it. Rogue is the best in my opinion as I have equipment from them as well, but Titan has been just fine for me. Not thrilled about data breach with Titan though. Just thought I'd add another voice out there from someone who has gotten a lot of use out of Titan products. Take it for what it's worth, or don't. No sweat off my sack.

Alan "Thicc-ness Fitness" Thrall

I love these ‘gym owner’ type videos

Hey Alan, love your content. Follow all your stuff. Anytime you need something made or welded let me know. I'm on NC but can ship to you. Train Untamed!!!

6:58 best song in the whole video, love DEATH.

Own a scholastic rack from elite and love it
