I’ve been really slack on product reviews lately, and I don’t really have a good reason why. I’ve had a few products for some time now, honestly, nothing’s changed with them.
But, I haven’t done the reviews and that’s on me.
So, let’s get back into it and start with Titan Fitness’s Low-Bar Push/Pull/Drag Sled.
Continue reading “Review: Titan Low-Bar Push/Pull/Drag Sled”There are a lot of cool exercises out there that, for a long time, I thought were outside the domain of the home gym owner.
Then I was introduced to the landmine. From the first moment I saw it, I knew I had to have one in my home gym setup…though I didn’t have a home gym at the time.
When I started building my setup, though, I knew damn good and well that I needed a landmine.
Thanks to Titan Fitness, though, I was able to get one for nothing. I mean, literally nothing. You see, when you buy from Titan’s website, you build credits. You can then use these to discount gear. I had enough built up that I could get the landmine attachment for free, so I did.
Here’s what I think of it.
When it comes to building up a home gym, there’s a lot of crap you probably don’t need. I’m in a garage gym group and I’m amazed at the number of people who fill their limited space with things like Nautilus equipment and things of that sort. That said, it’s their money and space, so they can do whatever they want.
In the end, though, you don’t really need all that stuff. What you need is a barbell, some weights, a rack, and a bench. If you’ve got that, you can do some seriously heavy lifting and work pretty much every muscle group.
But that also gets boring after a while, so people will want to start adding to their gear list. I sure as hell did.
And that’s why I picked up the axle bar from Titan, and you might want to get one of these too.

I’m a sucker for farmer’s walks as an exercise. Somewhere along the way, strength coach Dan John suckered me into embracing these things. Coach John refers to them as “game changers.” I’m not sure he’s right at this point in my training, but I do love them.
The reason is something I’ll go into later in more detail, but basically, when you talk about how strong someone is, there are usually a few ways we judge this. One is by carrying heavy things around.
Farmer’s walks are the epitome of that display, and if you want to carry heavy things, you need to carry heavy things.
With that in mind, I really wanted some farmer’s walk handles, but I wasn’t really in a position to purchase a really good set of handles. Or even a so-so set of handles.
But then Titan announced their strongman line of products a short time back and there they were. For $50, I could have something that would let me train farmer’s walks.
These are Titan’s version of the Fringe Sport’s mini farmer’s walk handles but at half the price.
When they arrived, I eagerly tore open the package, and here’s what I found: Continue reading “Review: Titan Mini Farmer’s Walk Handles”
Now that I’m back in the gym and can tell that I’m not revisiting past injuries, I decided it was time to revisit my home gym setup. The reason was simple. There are times when I want to workout but can’t really leave the house to lift.
That meant I needed a setup here, and I needed one that would fit what I was already doing.
After doing a bit of research while working around schedules to hit the commercial gym, I settled on a couple of items to start with rebuilding the gym.
I looked to Titan Fitness to see what they had to offer, and while they have similar products to industry giant Rogue–which makes sense considering Titan has basically ripped off Rogue’s designs–but have them at roughly half the cost.
Yeah, it was a no-brainer.
I selected two items to start with from them, the Titan T-3 Yoke and their 1,000 lbs capacity bench.
Here are my initial thoughts on both products. Continue reading “First Impressions Of Titan Yoke And Bench”
