Titan Fitness X-3 Rack Review 

Titan or Rogue, who would you pick? If I had to do it all over again it would be a more difficult decision than before.

Do more of these videos dude. I’m sure you’re not always getting quality stuff sent to you for free, but your reviews are the BEST.

I purchased the Titan X-3 Short Flat Foot Power Rack last week and couldn't be happier. It is rock solid and doesn't sway or wobble at all and is not bolted down. Yes the welds are kind of messy and the powder coat isn't very even but at almost half the price of the Rogue I think its a great deal.

It's really great that you took the time and gave a fair assessment to Titan. Having someone with a voice actually changing their mind based on new evidence is a really refreshing thing to see. Good on you and another reason why I will continue to trust you on your reviews and opinions. Keep up the good work man.

Easily the best & truly "honest" reviews around. Thanks for talking me into the 36" shorty that FINALLY was back in stock today. Was waiting for the Rep equivalent, but the PR-4000 still hasn't been restocked & was almost 2x the cost with the same config, delivered.

If you aint sponsed by rouge or titan you should be. Because i just purchesed this rack today except the 36in version. The main reason i did is because of the video, i wasn't even considering the x3 at all. Then this review and decided soon as i seen the rack. Thanks. If i hadn't seen this video i wouldnt have got this rack. And would have been mad if i got something els before seeing it.

I find it great to see a company like Titan come around. Lower priced, good quality equipment is a boon to not just homegym folks but also non-profit private schools and gym owners looking to save money.

Awesome! I’m riding back from the embarrassment of a Packers game and can’t wait to watch this when I get home.

I’m thinking of upgrading to an X3 Titan rack, I love Rogue but at the end of the day I don’t want to spend twice as much money.

Great video Brandon....I’ve been waiting for someone to do a review on the X-3...it appears Titan has really upped their game. Keep up the good work. Love your videos!!

I watched this video and had been battling what rack to get. I loved your remark on how equipment is going to get banged up and isn't going to look pretty. I ended up pulling the trigger on the x3 last year during black friday and have not looked back since. Between your review and now they have definitely cleaned up welds and some of the inconsistencies. I appreciate your honest opinions and reviews on your videos.

Finally moving out of a small apartment and getting a home and can't wait to build a home gym. My current gym has a blend of Titan and Rogue, but most of the racks are rogue. I have been impressed with the Titan gear I have used and was curious how their racks would hold up. While their prices have gone up, it's still way cheaper than Rogue and definitely feels like a good launching off point. Thanks for the great video!

I’m a semi serious lifting. I had a rogue rack years ago but sold it for a move. I’m beefing up my current garage and because of this review I went with titan. I’m nervous because of all the horror stories. Thanks for doing these videos. High quality!!!

Really thinking of Titan with my next rack purchase. You can get so much more from Titan (I.e. rack, safety strap, mono, extra weight/band pegs) for the price of just a plain rogue ML rack. Plus the money you save on a rack can be put towards more 45’s💪🏽

I wound up going with Rogue. I ordered the SML-2 Squat Stand because I can convert it to a half rack at a later date. That saved me a little money up front. I figure buy once cry once. Also, if I decide to sell it, I know the Rogue will have a higher resale value.

Great vid Brandon!! Cemented my decision to go with the X3 stands with extension. Also the adjustable monolifts and weight horns. Been very happy with it. Dont believe the Titan hate people...

Titan’s quality must have gone up enough for Rogue to at least feel a little threatened by a loss of sales. As of today, if you search “Titan fitness” in google Rogue is now the first option to come up. That hasn’t been the case that I’ve noticed until today.

Thanks for this quick and concise review.

I’m currently looking at buying a rack for my garage, and was about to pull the trigger on a Rogue rack...until I saw your vid. Your input just saved me a ton of $$$! Definitely grateful, and definitely subbed 👍🏼 Great review and quality vid...keep em coming brother!

I love titan fitness, I bought one of their racks for my gym I opened in phoenix AZ called Omega Strong Gym we are mostly a powerlifting gym and the X3 rack has been holding on nicely. I personally prefer rogue for barbells and titan for racks and accessories honestly.

Awesome review Brandon! At 5:31 I thought you were becoming a CrossFitter 😆

thanks for the review. I'm highly considering a power rack within the next month or two that is within reasonable $$$

great review as always -- first person i turn to for equipment reviews, be it shoes. belts, etc. keep going BCD

Thanks for the reviews once u started talking about Titan a week or so ago . I looked at Titan for the 1st time in a long time.I got the short yoke a set of farmers handles and a 100 lb sand bag for $375 dollars. Didn’t pay a dime in shipping and got it in two days!

Great review Brandon. It looks like they are putting in some great effort to make a good rack at a great price

X-3 rack it is I guess!! Ordering it on black Friday! I'm getting the 36' depth one, I just wish it had a multigrip Pullup bar option like the t-3

im building my own rack .. drawing it in solidedge right now ... i can cut tubes with laser bend sheet metal weld and professionally paint everything, the only thing ill find difficult is the uhmw coating of some parts if i want everything to be perfect or i could just let everything in raw metal since its easier and is just for personal garage use .. need to buy a new bench barebell and wiehgts tho q.q

I can't make up my mind between Rogue or Reflex. The finish on Reflex looks outstanding! Plus a shit ton of options as well.

I just got the X3 36" deep...got most of boxes Friday. Was missing one box which included a set of posts so couldn't set it up...today got final box...but it only had one Post. WTF! How do u forget to pack the second post? Just emailed their support. Wish me luck. Guess I have to wait another week before I pop a squat in this Chinese bad boy.

I just got the Titan X-3 with the 10” extension and both finishes were the same. So maybe they got that issue fixed. It’s also sits flat on the floor with no wobble. I’m 100% happy with my Titan rack.

Things have changed a lot they now have colors for the bolted down version and the safety pins and the 4 plate holders are sold separately now. X-3 is nice just hoping for some kind of functional trainer attachment in the near future.

Good review I've been thinking about getting a half or power rack for awhile. After looking at your video I might consider Titan, just can't decide if I want T-2, T-3, X-2 or X-3. Once I compare the difference between the 4 I will hopefully pick my poison.

I have the t2 rack from Titan and I really love it.

Hey Brandon, if you still peruse old videos, here's a quick Q: I'm 6'5"= will this rack be too short for me? I see the top of the upright is 82" but the pull-up bar is only 76 inches, and the top j-hook hole looks to be a bit lower so I am wondering how close you are to maxing it out

Man really cool to have you review the exact rack that i've been wanting. Glad to hear a good review from you because I know you can be a tad picky on certain things and like things a certain way which i get. Ready to win that sucker and send u a silver sharpie so you can sign it for me. then i'll have an interesting story to tell my kids when they ask about it

Going to weld a squat rack for myself. Stronger than hardware holding it together, only downside is I wouldn't be able to break it down if I needed to move. Nothing a angle grinder cant cut though.

I purchased the Titan X3 after watching your video. I attempted to use the link that you provided however, it wasn't working. Great review.

Well, those prices have almost doubled since you made this videos. Everything has gone up.

great vid, decided to buy the 36 inch depth version of this rack today!!!! p.s. the reason the power coating is different is because it is supposed to be used for the flat foot version which has a different power coating and color than this rack.

I have the Titan X3. shit doesn't line up, but it works and doesn't look like it'll tip over because of that. go with Rogue to avoid headaches, get Titan if you are poor and cross your fingers the pieces line up properly.

Good review. I defiantly bolted mine down, made a big difference. I'm with you on the J-cups... hate them from Titan. I ended up up just using Rouge J-Hooks on the Titan rack.

Brandon: I just got my X3 thanks to you! I agree it is a great value although not perfect but certainly good enough for my home use. I noticed that they used to have in production a cable attachment for it. It seems like it is no longer available. Do you use Cables at all, for things like a seated cable row? Any ideas for cable attachments, hopefully not a completely separate machine? I could just attach resistance bands to the rack too I suppose.

The original video about this rack complained about the monolift on this rack, and the landmine. Why wasn't this discussed? I'm on the fence with buying the short 24" and want to make sure I'm not missing anything

Would really like to see someone do a hands on review of valor's racks. I can't find a single one on RU-vid other than from valor fitness themselves. They look sturdy.

would u rather go with the x3 short flatfoot or the x3 short(non flatfoot) 36 depth? im not looking to bolt down and wondering if the x3 short 36 depth would be sturdy enough without the extension.

Looking to get the x3 flatfoot 700 shipped, or rogues flat-footed for 1400 shipped, or a rep fitness for 1300 shipped can't decide

Great stuff again as always. Thanks for doing this. I've got a rml3 flat foot. Does titan have rack accessories that are compatible?

I have the titan T2 rack and its perfect for my shed gym.

What size sockets and wrenches did you use to tighten the nuts and bolts on the X3? Thanks for the video!

checking it out, thanks for telling me....

the price of the titan racks are tempting, but i'm definitely set on buying a rogue rack when the time comes because i know i am gonna be happy with the quality of the rack. I'm not gonna chance getting a bad rack. Buy once, cry once.

Are the holes on x-3 flat foot uprights aligned with bolted down version? Planning to get bolted down version extension kit for flat foot rack.

Probably Rogue, your budget Roge home gym video is now my blueprint for when I set up a home gym, Titan seems like it is getting better but still seems kinda sketchy (like being found dead in your garage sketchy)

I ordered the X3 flat foot 91 tall and its coming tomorrow. Sad thing is I found you can't do band work because there aren't any holes in the bottom brackets for the band pegs. Do you currently have a workaround?

Since you've worked out at Seattle Fitness, I'm assuming the X3 is better than the old squat rack there right?

Thanks man, awesome review

Non related topic. :) If I do rack pulls (underhand) and just hold the weight for 30 seconds will that assist in back and bicep growth? I don’t room for FW or I would do that workout. Thx

Im considering buying the X-3 (flatfoot) version now would you say the extension is necessary? Also you said that as time goes on the quality of their products is increasimg would you recommend waiting a little while as these small things improve or should i just go ahead and buy it now?

Mmmmmm they may have a new customer. Good review B

Back here watching this review for the 20th time, thinking about posting my own of the X-3 Flat Foot variant with some accessories I just received in the mail.

Curious to know if the titan fitness X-3 mono-lift attachment would fit on my rogue RML 490 rack. Do the holes line up?

I know this is an old video, but i figure id update a couple things...first, titan has greatly increased their rack prices from 3 yrs ago (some increase is to be expected). More importantly, all those xtras...are no longer included (band pegs, plate holders)shockingly, now titan is not even giving you pipe safeties anymore with the purchase of a new rack...what major manufacture of power racks doesnt include safeties? I dont know of any

Great review B!!

Appreciate the review!! Have you tried the titan pulley attachments compared to rogue?

You and Leo Pando have been picking up more Titan Equipment... Maybe I'll revisit their stuff, give them another chance?...

Can you tell me what all pieces you added on to the base rack? Im looking to get exactly what you have. Also are you able to do rack pulls safely from it? I like the landmine attachment too!

Do you still own the Titan X3? I haven't seen it in any of your recent videos. Thinking about getting the 36'' one or the T6. Thanks.

I noticed at about 2:35 in the video, for squats your j hooks are on the opposite sides of the rack as the extension. I am assuming this is because the weights on the bar and the weights on rack would collide when racking the bar. So what would you do to bench? Is "forward racking" a bench a thing? Or would you bench with feet towards the wall? I guess another solution would be to rotate the order so it would be wall-rack-extension as opposed to wall-extension-rack. That would allow bench and squat from j hook on opposite side of extension, but isnt as aesthetically pleasing as weights up against the wall. Just wondering if you have any insight on these or other solutions to this issue...Thanks for your time!

Mr Brandon, I want to get an x3 just for benching. Kind of the way you have a separate bench. Since you had the bolt down version, I wonder if you have any thoughts on the flat foot version? Thanks man. And I hadn’t seen any of your earlier videos like this one. You looked perty big, man. 💪🏽

The official site has the short rack as 82 inches, so I assume they increased the height of it after this video was posted. I have a limit of 84 inches in the space I have. With the multi grip pull up bar, how tall would it be? The site says the attachment point would be 77 inches, plus 6.5inches. So it’d be 83.5. Does anyone know if this is correct?

the blue seems to be much firmer and there is a difference in the quality of the weld seams

thanks for the video. i just purchased one.

Great video! Are the uprights a TRUE 3x3 in dimension? Im looking to add the BoS hydra lever arms.

Has Brett tweaked your squat form? Looks like you're getting deeper and a bit more upright.

I like it my man. It is great to see a company like Titan Fitness on the market. There products are SUPER affordable. Btw, are you a personal trainer /strength coach for your profession?

For some reason my rack extension the 24 inch after all hooked up was a good 1/2-3/4 inch off level then the rack so now it rocks back and forth Odeon the middle feet.

Hey I'm sorry to bug you but have a problem on my hands , how hard would it be to shorten this rack things have gotten crazy and have to move to a smaller place with lower ceilings , by looking at the rack doesn't seem like it would be that hard , what do you think cannot afford to just buy another rack

Unfortunately this rack has been out of stock for a long time. Doesn’t seem like it’ll be in stock anytime soon. I wanted to buy this particular rack do to having a low ceiling. But since it’s been out of stock I had to go with Fray Fitness short rack 😔 If it doesn’t meet my expectations I’ll sell it and just continue waiting for the Titan X3

Do you think this rack would hold up if used outdoors? Or is there a recommendation for a backyard setup

I highly recommend the rogue R-3BT

You said that your rogue attachments attach to the Titan rack. Will Titan fitness x3 accessories attach to a monster lite racks?

Is the 10" extension too short to be useful for plate storage? It seems like it would be.

Quick question. Is the hole spacing the same as rogues. I’m curious to know if my rogue monilifts will fit the X-3. Thanks.

I'm guessing that if you had the X3 with weight attachment as opposed to the add on there would no sway... Seems like very popular as all the racks I'm interested in sold out

Brandon, would you buy this rack today for the going price of $569.99? When it comes in stock, I'm thinking of shelling out the dough.

I wonder if the Titan 10” extension kit would work with the Rogue Monster Lite flat foot??

Can you do a follow up update on the Titan X3, how are you liking it after 10 months of use?

Are the attachments from the X3 comparable to the rml-490? If not why Titan rack is compatible? I want to get the rogue rack but want to get attachments from Titan Thanks in advance!

Good review, It would've been cool to see you review the spotter arms too. What's your take on spotter arms on a half rack instead of a full rack?

If I got the titan x3 flat foot. Could my wife and I use it at the same time? I was think about each taking a side for squats/ pull ups. We want to do crossfit workouts together. If it wouldn't work I'll get an additional squat stand with a pull up bar

Brandon thinking about getting the titant x3 and add the 2 stabilizer feet attachments you have on your current monster set up ... would u say titants a better company in 2019

would you still recommend the x3? I don't have a ton of money and want to get a home gym going but I can afford the rogue r3 but then miss out on some other equipment

Can you take a look at some squat rack set ups???

Hey Great VideosDo you know the differences between the different series of Titan Racks?The website is terrible.

Where did you find the mount for back lat pulls? Time on video is at 3:52.

So the extension kit will fit the X-3 (minus the feet and height difference)?

What a great info. People need to know there a more affordable options for their hard earned money.

Thank you for the review, just picked up the X3 short 36in depth, where did you pick up the straps? I cannot seem to find them on titan's website. Thanks in advance for any info.

Are you able to squat and bench on the side with the extension without hitting the weights?

the rack of the minute 0:57 what measure are the square pipes and how thick? thanks greetings
