Still really like mine. Handles are fine. Haven't shopped for trap bars since I got it, and don't see any practical reason to spend more on one.

I sold off my Valor one with rotating handles. It was pretty nice but I didn't like the handle options as much as I thought I would. This Titan one being rackable will be a bonus as well.
Not sure if the one I ordered will have knurling on the bottom. I'll update my reply post if it doesn't.
Had to sent back my shipping cause there were some mistakes so I had to work quite long before I could start and then I never really got used it.. not really my thing I have to say

The new ones supposedly do. I find knurling to be much less important for neutral grip lifts (unless you really pick off center, the handles aren't trying to rotate out of your grip like a straight bar), and the powder coat is fairly grippy on the Titan low handles.
It's rackable in that it sits on your rack safeties (unless they changed that too with the newer version, not sure). Mine at least doesn't rack in my j-cups.

It arrived today. Everything is square, straight, level, and the bottom handles are knurled. It's a beast TBH. I'm quite surprised. It was also nearly impossible to get the box in my door. So massive I can't see how they sell it for $220 shipped and make $$$.
Looks like they released a v2 trap bar that racks on j-hooks now. Is that the one you got?

Not to my knowledge. There aren't any reviews on that one, the one I ordered had tons of reviews.
The one I ordered went OOS the day after I ordered it as well. My purchase cemented the V2 release. They Probably saw my order and dropped V2 lol.
Also, it was packed nicely. Laid in a cutout styrofoam bed and the cut pieces of foam to form to the shape. Basically the whole bar was covered in plastic and then sandwiched in foam. I expected a sleeve poking out of one end but they did a great job.
*Update- I definitely have V1. It fits safeties and straps but not standard j cups. It does just barely fit in my sandwich j cups from Rep (which also fit my Monster Lite).
Anyone have the titan chest press machine?
Sup folks. Just wanted to share my T-3 Lever Arm arrival. Very nice shipping. Wanted to post a few pics of the levers out of the box but I guess is I level up to post pics since I’m new?? Until then, just wanted to share that the finish of the powder coat looks great and the build looks great as well.

Are you sure it's powder coat? I own 6 Titan pieces, including a rack extension, and not one of them is powder coated. They've got a thin coat of black spray paint and that's it.

No, anyone can post pics. Hit reply, go advanced, manage attachments. You can upload directly to the forum, no need to go through a 3rd party.

How do you go advanced? I only see options to post icons, check the box for automatically parse links, and check the box to subscribe to the thread.

Yes, I do not have the manage attachments link as well.
Hit reply, then you can see go advanced.

EricAtl,
I appreciate your picture; however, it doesn't appear that way on my end. Perhaps I am completely failing my detection skills check though! ;)
Of note, when I first tried to reply to you (while quoting you) the forum responded "To be able to post links or images your post count must be 50 or greater. You currently have 33 posts.
Please remove links from your message, then you will be able to submit your post."
It wouldn't allow this reply until I removed the link.

Ok thanx, I’ll post the pics once I have the 50 posts. At first I thought I didn’t get manage attachments tab because I was using my iPhone and not a laptop.
So who wants to pay $2k for a Titan functional trainer?

They're out of their f'n minds. If Titan can't even get welding or painting right, there's no way I would trust them to pull off a FT. I could get the Inspire FT1 for not much more and I am 100% certain it's a thousand times better than anything Titan could produce. Titan should probably price theirs at half that.

Yea, their pricing is in looney tunes territory. Not only is this FT1's price range, the no-frills version FTX was like $1300 at Costco.
They couldn't even get one pulley right above the stack to line up straight on their lat tower.
Wow, just f off Titan. What's up with the stupidity of the traffic light stickers on the weights stacks?

They're probably copying PowerTec. Their 190-lb weight stack add-on for their lat machine or functional trainer are color-coded the same way.

The traffic light stickers are very common on generic Chinese machines.

They're to warn you of danger when going over 140lbs.

My Titan v3 pulley tower is fine, though I did lube up every pulley. I plan to buy a second one when they come back in stock to make a space-limited poor man's FT/cable crossover.
If Titan could offer the FT for $1000 or something regular price, I'd be a lot more willing to try it. $2000 puts it in the same ballpark as every other low-end FT with stacks.

It was on sale the other day. My impression of Titan's pricing is that they operate on the Harbor Freight pricing system. Price it crazy high and then it looks like a really good seal when it goes on sale...which it does about 40 times a year.
