Kudos to Ttian, another good sale today! Not a big fan though after trying the Bison bar, just didn't feel right to be and I didn't like how they sat on the J-hooks. Not sure if this one was designed any better, but that price seems decent.

Been on my wish list since the last sale so I was finally able to pull the trigger on one. Never tried a bow bar but I do have a cambered bar from CAP that I was mixing in for a while. I'm confident it will perform better than that one did as the cambered bar was just too clunky for me. Had NO idea the Yukon was so damn long until I started watching the reviews AFTER I placed my order. Swinging a 96" bar around my compact spaced gym will get interesting for sure since my gun rack is located in another room different from my rack. Good times.

Titan Memorial Day Sale today, mostly garbage but the Yukon bar and the Adjustable Plyo Box caught my eye. Pulled the trigger on the box and used some rewards points, have been waiting for it to come back in stock!

I've had both the Bison and the Yukon bar, as well as a Duffalo bar.......Bison sucks. It slides around in the hooks, doesn't feel good for squats, hash marks are in the wrong spot, no center knurl. I bought it used because I wanted it for bench press, but I sold it along after a few weeks.
I like the Yukon bar much better. I don't experience any issues with it sliding around. Hash marks are still in the wrong spot, but the knurling starts at the point where I want to put my hands anyway, so it works well for bench press. It also feels pretty good for squats and has center knurling. I don't care for squatting with a bow bar as a matter of personal preference, but the Yukon works well. It's not nearly as well-made as the Duffalo, there's no comparison between the two. That said, I really only wanted it for bench press and maybe occasional squats.
The Duffalo was great, but it was godawful expensive. I didn't like squatting with it, and it was just too expensive to justify keeping it for benching. I don't put up huge numbers in any of my lifts, and at my age I never will. It was also bare steel, which I hated. I had a chance to move it along and break even in the deal, so I jumped at it.[]---[] Ivanko Barbell Crew #29 []---[]

Don't blame you, I also had the Bison bar and sold it within a matter of weeks. The curved bar just didn't feel right, could feel it swing a bit and that instability isn't needed in my routine. Would rather put up with a little shoulder/elbow pain and use a straight bar. But excited about the squat box, it should double as a nice Powerblock stand. I have a deal in the works for a pair of Pro Rexan's, if it pans out this will be perfect timing!!!

I do this too, and for the same reason. I secure mine to a pull-up bar to keep the arms out of the way (it's the Edge Fitness 1, with the long arms). I tie it up there with these:

Picked up one of their flat benches. Saved money and didn't buy the tripod style (where one leg isn't as wide) and then just modified mine to make room for my feet when benching. Worked perfectly and feels much better.

Update on the squat box, came a few days ago an I'm happy with the end result. Not quite as easy to adjust as I would have hoped, rather annoying actually, but it's rock solid and the finish is pretty good. One side the hitch pin has a little trouble lining up correctly, but it goes through with a little encouragement. Rubber top was paper thin so I cut up a piece of horse stall mat I had lying around and it's better. Sold my Powerblock column stand because I've always hated the design, so this will double nicely for box squats and powerblock storage.

I currently use utility seat on spotter arms for box squats . After done squatting i have to walk out from the front . That is the only way . Was thinking off buying dedicated Box squat . There were couple of Rogue and Elite FTS ones on sale on CL and FB a while ago. I regret not pulling the trigger on Rogue one . It has wider top 2' X 2'
Would like here you thoughts on this after couple of sessions. I think MGM was the first one to buy this one may be V1?[M]===[6]▪ Mech6 Crew #35 ▪[M]===[6]

You can try these hooks ( Stash hooks) from Sorinex if your rack has 1" holes. I have a pair . No UHMW but you can put some tape on the hook. I think only bars up to 35mm will fit on the hook. My 2" axle would not fit where are Crep SSP would fit . Very convenient. I have extra j cups low profile one (6" H) if not i would have bought another pair these hooks
Price is also reasonable. Not sure about shipping though.

I bought the Titan in November 2019 ($88 shipped at the time). It's rock solid, but it's not really adjustable. They inner piece of steel is so tight within the outer portion that it requires considerable force to adjust the box. Not a huge deal for us as my wife and I both use it at its lowest height. Not sure if they have fixed that issue.

It's pretty nice, like Dup said its a little hard to adjust because the posts fit pretty tight in the base, but I'll probably use the 14" height the most anway so it's not a big deal. Honestly after my first session I'd probably rather have something like the CAP+ Squat Stool for touch and go work, just easier to move in and out of the rack. But being able to use this for multiple things makes it more attractive, I'm happy with how it's working so far.

Cap squat stool which is identical to Legend one has relatively small seat not that we have big behinds in our house . Plus you cannot use cap stool for storage when not in use. When box squatting sometimes it is not always touch and go and in the last rep and in the last set you sit on the box and just drop the bar on the straps. So need to make sure you have enough real state on the seat to park your behind. Rogue box squat seems to be ideal for that purpose
I was actually thinking was making one with wood similar to jerk blocks but this one would have 3 or 4 blocks each 4" in height. Attach a handle and wheels , you are all set . I made regular regular jerk blocks few years ago.

Anyone have a Titan discount code they'd be able to send me? It'd be much appreciate. I tried the normal tricks of registering an order, adding an item to the cart and leaving it there for a while, and adding another email to the mailing list but haven't received a 5% off coupon.
Got this a while ago, so figured I'd post on it. The rack mountable 4 way neck machine. The pad is pretty solid but not too solid and the motion is smooth. It feels a little limiting in mounting positions and is a scratch risk to put on to the rack. You put the welded pin/housing into the rack. Then there is a separate piece that fits between the housing and where the detent pin goes through. The separate piece is metal so when you slide it in, if it hits the rack at all, it's liable to scratch the finish. The attachment does what it's supposed to do and takes up a lot less space than a stand alone machine. I considered the Iron Neck but went with this as it was cheaper and I'm not in contact sports where I really need the neck stabilization.

Very little info available on this one. But with 10% off, and $100 worth of points about to expire, I took a chance. Delivery date delayed on me twice, then shows up 2 days before 2nd date change.
So far, first impressions are really positive. Adjusts smoothly, and no wiggle at any adjustment. Main frame is 2.75"x2", while feet are 2x3. Height is 17.5" to the top of the pad.
It came mostly assembled, just had to install feet, and rollers onto the leg attachment, 8 bolts total. One chip in the powder coat on the main frame, but that might've been me slipping the ratchet tightening one leg.
