No, but in all fairness, Titan's customer service is top notch. They sent me another landmine for free. The replacement landmine had like 25% less rust. Lol.
So I now have the possibility to do some sort of a double landmine setup. I just need a way to get rid of the rust with minimal damage to the paint."I love the smell of stall mats in the morning."

Sounds like schedule 80, should be sufficient for ordinary men.

I feel like this is the best way to describe their products, you get what you pay for, its been said 100times, personally i'm okay with functionality and cheap, others arent, i will be placing my titan order soon here and will review every piece i buy to show, yes it might not look pretty but it works and is price point efficient.
People are starting to understand this though, not quit as much bitching when they receive things that arent rogue standard.Pgh PA, mediocre power lifter, @Brookline_Barbell

Agreed. Cosmetic issues don't usually bug me, and Titan's standard surface rust usually comes off with a light scrubbing. With stuff like landmines and axle bars I have a hard time spending Rogue prices when I can buy an uglier but just as functional version for 1/3 the price.
Other things I'd rather buy nice than twice, but I have most of that stuff already.

If you're talking like 3x3 with 5/8 spacing like a Rogue configuration, the Titan stuff won't work since they're on the metric. I know someone who bought some spotters arms for a squat stand and thy didn't fit. They were pretty crudely made as well. Even if they did fit, I'm not sure they're worth owning, and I'd pretty much lump these Monos in the same category. You get what you pay for with Titan, and sometimes that works.

Hey buddy, thanks for posting the pic, i just got a duffalo bar and its screaming for a mono. I have had real good luck with titan stuff and will be ordering one if these next few days, just waiting for a discount code of some sort, want at least 10% off or it feels wrong! Lol
I feel like i missed something with your comment about checking two spots! Is that just in response to the earlier comment someone made about there apearing to be cracks in the picture in the titan web site?
If so, dont worry, that was a heavy photo shopped picture, someone did a poor job of removing the image from a background, i used to do some product listing work and it happens, especially when you dont have a decent background in the picture your trying to remove the background from.. It added some digital artifacts that looked like finish comming off. The spots pointed to on the frame as "cracks" looked like they were part of that effect or just how the piece is cut out, i dont think that was anything to worry about.
Anyway, 5foot, could you just post a quickie summery of how there are functioning? I dont need anything elaborate, just a "working as intended, swing freely, feel solid" type thing. I appreciate it my friend

Fivefoot, did the chipped paint come that way, or is that a feature? These things haven't been out long enough to start chipping have they? (see black mark below the Titan logo). Oh yeah, and for scientific research..... does a magnet stick to all the parts.... we need to know if it's all metal vs wood

I mentioned this but here is a better picture of the hooks, hopefully titan will send me a replacement for the 1 arm so may bar doesn't get beat up as much.
Lol that guy actually made another video correcting himself. I can confirm its metal. I was actually wondering if this wasn't paint and not some rubber coating? The material doesn't work well. Either way lots of bubbles and bad paint job.
Yeah I got my order 20% off . Yes that comment was about the earlier crack comments. I never used mono before but they feel really solid, I'm surprised how big and heavy they are tbh. They swing pretty good and I can tighten them or loosen the bolt for more or less it seems.
I have some vids from my bench sets today from 200-315bp to show how they swing uploading currently.

I was playing around with it yesterday to find a good position for the arms and which holes to put the pin in. I felt like I was in a good enough position to were I could just press and I'm almost positive I press out about the same or less compared to my regular jhooks. Ill probably still play around some more tho

Reps for you brother! I apreciate the video, glad it feels solid also. You have a pretty damn respectable bench press also, 315 went up nice and easy for reps, impressive. Thats more then i would get have gotten! Not too critisize a good lift, but i also think you should try setting the mono a hole or two lower, but its tough to tell exactly how close to full extension you really are when unracking. I personally find i lose my set up if i unrack that high, but everyones different.
The arms seem to swing well, could you explain again about the amount of swing being adjustable and how it was actually set for these videos? Just want to see if i understand correctly
Hey, anyone have a Titan discount code? I was super busy recovering during the last sale and want at least 10% off to order, it diesnt feel right without a discount since they run sales so often!

I think they stopped giving out discount codes anymore. You get 5% off coupon for your first order when you signup for their email list, that's all. Also, the 5% coupon only works on regular priced items, won't stack with items that are already on sale. Last year, when I bought my T-3, it is was on sale and also allowed me to stack a 15% coupon on top. I guess they are getting enough sales now without having to offer discounts.
Father's day is coming up, everything will be discounted. Hold on a few days and see what turns up.
I never understood why people wanted a jack - "why cant they just lift one end of the bar and slip on the plate?" I used to wonder. And then I crossed two plates on deadlift last month and suddenly it all became clear, the lifting knowledge is trickling into me one drop at a time
So I am considering getting a jack, was thinking about building one with pipes but may not be worth the time with Titan's offering now. Isn't the full sized jack a bit too big to have around the home gym? Wouldn't the mini or half jack be better?

Years ago I made a mini jack with 3/4" pipe (tons of DYI's out there on how to do it - It's idiot proof easy). Then I bought the Roque Mini Jack. You're right. It's not worth building your own. I am more than pleased with the mini.
