Goodbye Titan Fitness. You Will Not Be Missed. (it's you, not me) 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Titan will keep sending him sled poles for eternity. Lol

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

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

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.

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

Allan Thrall “ these are great racks” - 2018

something about new gym equipment videos is so satisfying

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

Two vids back to back? Thanks Alan!

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

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.

Thanks bro 4 the info much needed 💪💪

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.

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

@Alan Thrall, thx for the video. Do you think if not using crazy weight (I’m never going to compete or anything like that) that stall mats are solid enough to lift from (ie. no ply wood)? Thx.

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

Love the Elite FTS racks. However, Do you know why they use small pin holders on the plate storage area?

Do you plan on getting any of Rip's new equipment? I'd be curious as to your thoughts on the bench without a pad and how your members use it.

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!

Alan, I cannot front squat due to lack of flexibility in my wrists, forearms, etc. Oh yea, and I'm old. So ,should I use a safety squat bar or a spider bar to work my quads? If not these bars what movement would you suggest? Thanks, Stefano & always remember Semper Fi !

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

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.

How have these racks held up? I was in the process of ordering an Elitefts rack and accessories, but the shipping was crazy expensive. I went with the Rogue Monster rack instead. I'm debating my decision.

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.

*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!

What’s the best rack if you want a high and low pulley also? I’ve heard ones with weight stacks feel better than plate loaded. Need to buy one in a ear when my shoulder is healthy again to train

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.

I have 2 spare bedrooms in my home and just turned one room into a 10x10 gym. Completely covered the floor with stall mats. I have $4,000 worth of rogue equipment coming Friday. I got the R-3 rack. Do I really need to bolt it down? Drilling through my hardwood floor into concrete is not an option. I have good quality pine 2x6 boards. Will probably mount it to that for slightly better stability and have everything to build a deadlift platform ready to go. If I didn’t bolt down the rack and just deadlift on the stall mats only would I be ok? I bought 500lbs+ of Rogue Competition bumpers. Wondering if that is enough to cushion without the platform for now and if the rack can hold that without being bolted.

Your videos are very informative. How much food intake do you eat?

How are those lag bolts holding up? I mounted my Titan rack with those and ripped them out by jumping up and swung on the pull up bar in about five seconds.

I'm buying an old Reflex rack that looks sort of like this (3 chambered/6 uprights) not sure what you would call that. Any thoughts on the Reflex brand racks? Its for my home gym but it was from a school so it's commercial quality. I think Rogue might have bought reflex out recently if I'm not mistaken.

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.

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 :)

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

Alan, do you have any experience with kettle bell training to increase your squat?

Alan, what is your opinion on the R3 rack by rogue? the 30" deep bolt together, 2x3 uprigths. Thank you!

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.

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

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.

Does Adam paul have a brother too?

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

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.

I am making a garage gym and I would like would like to buy a power rack next. Can you suggest if I should get the ELITEFTS™ GARAGE LINE 3X3 POWER RACK - NO WEIGHT STORAGE for $679 or Are they price gouging, so should I wait?

What do you think about ELITE FTS SCHOLASTIC 3X3 BASIC FULL POWER RACK W/ WEIGHT STORAGE vs Rogue RML-490C Power Rack for a home gym?

Any thoughts on Sorinex? They have the highest end racks that I’m aware of if price isn’t much of an issue

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.

congratulations members and Alan

are those elitefts racks stronger than rogue's monster rack series?

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

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

What's the difference between the Titan racks you took outside/gave away and the two you kept in the gym? Are two of them older?

Alan, when not bolted down, what is more sturdy: rml690 or efts r3?

2 videos in 2 days, Christmas has come early!

Hey Alan, could you do a motivational video? One with metal, a badass speech and lots of lifting. Would be awesome. Merry xmas

my squat rack wiggles around when i do dips in it and i put a weighted barbell on it so it doesnt tip up from my body weight....

Do you have any suggestions for a squat rack? I was thinking about the Titan x2 but watching this im questioning it. My budget is about 450 max if that helps

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!!!

How do they compare to the hammer strength elite power rack

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

Are you Titan Fitness racks the 24" depth or 36" depth?

Hey man, what’s the name of the chain set up?

How do you not get the earthquake bar definitely looks like a stabilizer trainer not all bars are specifically for pushing. To me its like using free weights on a bar the unstability of it

Which model of titan fitness rack did you keep?

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.

Excellent video - what’s the song at 8:52 sounds awesome

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

I love these ‘gym owner’ type videos

Hey Alan, are you selling the titan racks? I am interested.

hey alan, i know your not a military channel but can you make a video for training for PFT? I run a mile 3 days a week but im not sure what else to do

AWESOME VIDEO....

how long did the titan racks get used in ur gym? it looks like they are still standing. sure they lean but does that really effect the purpose? to hold the weight... i dunno just seems silly to dog a company that held up in your gym for a while i assume. but i do understand why you upgradied to a high quality rack for your gym.

What are the chains for?

That elitefts rack is one hot piece of ace

Looks great!

COACH ALAN, CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ANALYSIS OF ANDREW COLLURA 650 BENCH RAW, NO WRIST WRAPS

What shoes are you wearing? I like them quite a lot

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.

Dissin Strength Shop..... this anything to do with S S here in the U.K?

so much variety. I wanna be a member lulz

Those elite FTS racks look fucking awesome

Just wondering to myself: Why not just use dumbbells for shoulder stability? Does an earthquake bar really provide anything different from DBs?

Alan if you had to shave off your beard or hair which one would you pick?

My titan fitness X-3 flatfoot extension is built like a tank only thing con is the finish.

Would that earthquake bar really hit your stabilizer muscles?

How good are York racks?

What is the point of banded deadlifts? It seems it wouldn't be any better than just adding more weight no?
